  1. ​@Hopper-n5f They were disappointed that he's not from China. For Americans, in general, Chinese means China.
    79
  2. Nato has done quite enough. Just ask Serbia or Libya.
    57
  3. ​@Hopper-n5f So you are saying this Singsporean CEO is actually not qualified to do the job. H was hired to avoid suspicions. Did you check his qualifications/work experience?
    57
  4. I fully agree. Real whales are meant to swim freely in our oceans.
    48
  5. Imagine the alternative of not doing anything at all. It would have been much more devastating than waste of water and effort. The rapid spread of desertification and massive regular sandstorms.
    42
  6. Job and education opportunities. Not everyone wants to he a farmer.
    40
  7.  jasperpercabeth9140  If this is the same Reaper drone they tried to sell to India, it cost 100 million.
    22
  8. Their own citizens from Inner Mongolia. Not Mongolia. They are most probably Han Chinese rather than ethnic Mongolians.
    21
  9.  @JamesJiansen  You are absolutely right that Hongkongers generally look down on Chinese ppl from South East Asian. My parents have plenty of stories of how they were treated by their business owners during their short stay there. I don't understand why they have this superior complex especially when you see their pigeon holes they call home.
    19
  10. The California high speed rail project has exceeded the original budget by almost USD50 billion. And its not even half completed. So 2 billion is small change especially when it's about to commence operations.
    18
  11. Well Singapore and to some extent Malaysia have certainly benefitted from HK troubles. Safe havens
    18
  12. I didn't expect them to get any at all. So 5 is a huge achievement.
    18
  13. So is Las Vegas , Atlantic City ,Monte Carlo. Macau is not unique
    17
  14. I would take whatever compensation and get out. Looks like a rundown neighbourhood. Out of place in an international city like Shanghai.
    16
  15. As someone from South East Asia I am afraid I have to agree with this.. I do know many wonderful HK friends through my years of working with them. So there are always exceptions like everywhere else.
    16
  16. Phillippines most dangerous threat comes from within. Marawi is just one example. Maybe their govt should do more to protect their citizens in the south from their own citizens in the south. Especially during coming Christmas season.
    14
  17.  @Lily-gz3ip  Not unusual. Malaysian Chinese ppl generally prefer girls over boys. Can count on daughters for care n support even after they're married. Whereas sons only listen to their wives. Btw I have 5 sisters only 1 brother.
    14
  18. Of course they will. But a much improved and safer copy for sure.
    13
  19. Why not. All masterpieces have been copied and sold to art lovers who can't afford to own the real ones. We have many mona Lisas here. Don't know why pl like them. Just a smiling lady.
    13
  20. So it's ok to destroy this bistro? Is this business owner responsible for this new pension reforms?
    13
  21. ​ @erikmorales6912  Maybe China should tell her that there is an overcapacity of smartphones and computers production. That Apple, HP and Dell should be told to scale back as thd world is unable to absorb all.
    12
  22. I was waiting for this comment. Some people just can't help themselves.
    12
  23. What are you expecting? A free lunch? No such thing anywhere in the world. They are getting an airport. Not bunker buster bombs that can only do one thing.
    12
  24. Head in the sand as always. In the largest democracy in the world, train accidents are a common occurrence. They hold the world record of three trains colliding into each other at the same time. Safety? Don't even mention it. I think you know who I am referring to.
    12
  25. And it will scare the daylights out of Washington.
    11
  26. The issue is about the New Delhi situation which is entirely made in India. Nothing to do with China.
    11
  27.  @SK-lt1so  Guantanomo, Mariana Islands, Diego Garcia
    11
  28. ​ @melvinstarita638  No need to steal inferior tech. They should learn how to make batteries like those from CATL or BYD.
    10
  29. So it is. So what? None of any one else business.
    10
  30. ​@timnic3850 Just rode on their amazing high-speed rail a couple of months ago. From Hangzhou to Beijing in just 4.5 hours. Amazing piece of engineering marvel. Had to book ticket 3 days in advance.
    10
  31. I find this puzzling . Why would anyone believe there are high paying jobs in a conflict zone area like Myanmar. Unless those who are desperate enough to take whatever risks.
    10
  32. They are the new kid on the block. Just like when Airbus first started and they got the same mocking from Boeing. It only made them stronger. Today they have surpassed their mockers. The same for C919, given time.
    10
  33. Sorry bruh. They don't. Prove your to claim to Nato if you have any.
    9
  34. You do. You are here aren't you?
    9
  35. They are a G20 member. Can easily afford this. Unlike yours
    9
  36. ​ @grandcanyon-d4d  TSMC is already in Arizona and about to start producing cutting edge chips. Taiwan has just lost their bargaining chip.
    8
  37. Afraid not. 40 days abstinence. Not sure if there are enforcers in case of cheating
    8
  38. You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. People want progress but they don't want change. Not in their backyard.
    8
  39. Most villages in Japan are deserted
    8
  40. It's an undeniable fact that you are all 100% ethnic Han Chinese. I have been to both Taiwan and China and can't tell the difference. But you are right. Unification is near impossible and the faster CCP realizes this the better for the Chinese people.
    8
  41. Its between Phillippines and Indonesia and no one else. Dumb comment
    8
  42. ​ @Pearloryx  There are many instances of athletes collapsing and dying on the field in US. Especially in their NFL and soccer leagues. This type of incidents happens everywhere. You are ignorant.
    7
  43. He's now a visiting college professor with University of Tokyo.
    7
  44. ​ @panglaro8486  For now. Localisation will gradually replace them over time. We are talking about building an airplane, not a smartphone. Anyway the most important part of the plane which is the fuselage, is built by them. If they don't get it right nothing else matters.
    7
  45. ​ @kylorokx1552  For now. A thousand mile journey begins with the first step. Right at the first step itself, the most important part of the plane which is the fuselage, is home made. Over time the imported parts will be replaced. We are talking about an airplane, not a smartphone.
    7
  46. Half of their population lived in poverty. Rampant violence .There is no hope in the first place. Nothing to lose.
    7
  47.  @Cosmo1093  I am afraid they are also facing a huge surge in cases. Daily average 9k. mRNA or whatever vaccine makes no difference
    7
  48.  @Lily-gz3ip  not true. I am Chinese and I have 5 wonderful daughters.
    7
  49. Desperate times require desperate measures.
    7
  50. They are just investors. Like any other investors. They don't involve themselves with internal affairs.
    7
  51. Dumb comment. Its an icy road. Even the best driver would have slid like everyone else.
    7
  52.  @irritatedanglosaxon1705  Indonesia archipelago comprises of eighteen thousand islands spread over 8.3million km. Its not Ukraine or Syria.
    6
  53. Not true. Byd dominates here in Asean, especially Thailand. Their evs are everwhere when none was seen a year before.
    6
  54. Nah. That name already taken by Boeing 737 MAX.
    6
  55. Both of them are also hoping for more Chinese tourists as well. China grant this visa waiver privilege to many other countries as well. We are among the first 6 countries to be granted this waiver. Almost a year ago before Japan and SKorea. So yeah, they are hoping for more of us to visit them long before they even thought of Japan/SKorea.
    6
  56. They are also famous for some breadth taking mega projects. Just ask the Indonesians who got their Chinese built high speed rail . The first in Asean and even before US. Or check Bangladesh difficult to build Padma bridge and underground tunnel across the Padma river. Or Maldives sea crossing bridge. Or Croatia Peljesac bridge. Or the just completed Algeria's national north to south expressway. Or the Istanbul airport Metrolink. Too many to mention.
    6
  57. Dumb comment. It's an organic farm.
    6
  58. Not just China. Here in Malaysia we have been feeling the heat for past couple of months.
    6
  59. She already said it is meant to last 25 years. It's to power their water treatment plans. Not for some grandiose purpose. Spore don't indulge in this sort of thing. I think you are referring to China mostly
    5
  60. Much better than burning coal. Also the locals don't have to cut down the forest for fuel anymore. So it's a win for the environment. Anyway they have many other beautiful river valleys.
    5
  61. Then it suits you. You should do well.
    5
  62. True. They should have gone to see Boris Johnson instead.
    5
  63. First time visitors. Venice is an enchanting city. Overtly excited.
    5
  64. ​ @JongjongNarcos  They are dependent on the motherland for their food security. Tiny island nations are always dependent on their neighbors. Like Singapore. No matter how rich they are, they can't go it alone.
    5
  65. Bad weather. Know the difference.
    5
  66. Yup. Driving the car yourself is old technology.
    4
  67. It's renewable. Don't need to invest anymore but energy keeps coming as along as the sun shines. Try to understand this simple logic.
    4
  68. Like that Baltimore Bridge. Total collapse.
    4
  69. Do you know Brazil sells more to China than they buy from them? One of the few countries that have this achievement. So they don't have to sell any of their assets
    4
  70. So you want their plane not to look like a plane. Maybe you be satisfied if they don't have the usual wings and wheels. Maybe they should use skids instead. All planes have similar shape and design for many reasons. Performance efficiency, safety and stability are just some.
    4
  71. Still so much better than living in tiny flats in congested Hong-Kong.
    4
  72.  @ometofu  Yeah. Like this didn't happen elsewhere.
    4
  73. Children flu in Beijing. Common during winter months. It's a huge country. Many places to visit besides Beijing.
    4
  74. Then whats it has to do with? You don't get certified you can't fly to Europe or US. Period.
    4
  75. So why don't these US engineers built it themselves?
    4
  76. Yes u are right. See how they "mistreat" their giant pandas.
    4
  77. " Thete is no reason anyone would want a computer at home" Ken Olsen CEO Digital Equipment Corpn 1977
    4
  78. None. The Chinese always walk their talk.
    4
  79. An acquired taste. Didn't like it after first sampling . Probably because being South East Asian, my taste buds are more towards Thai, malay, Indonesian spicy food. But to each his own.
    4
  80. Brush. Its the same over here and almost everywhere else. Our leaders also say they love us. Not long ago many families have to hang up white flags appealing for help.
    4
  81. The largest community of Cantonese speakers in Malaysia is in the city of Ipoh. There is no school where it is taught. Only Mandarin classes are available. Our parents are our teachers. We speak at home, among our family members and friends. Its passed on from generation to generation. That's why it is kept alive and still widely spoken. When it cones to our schools and workplace, Bahasa Melayu and English take precedence.
    4
  82. Both taste awful. Doesn't matter who copy who.
    4
  83. I rather live in this ghost city without neighbors than in a tiny pigeon hole they call home in congested HongKong
    4
  84. Nothing really interesting in Taiwan. Being there. Can see the whole country in less than a week. No comparison with the motherland. Being to Chona many times prior to lockdown. Never consider visting Taiwan. Rather, go to Indonesia or Thailand.
    4
  85. Well they have to when the other siblings refuse to listen. Just like in my family. As the eldest my parents have given me the mandate to take charge. Full support for the police.
    4
  86. All complex products starts this way and gradually the imported parts will be localized over time. The important thing to remember here is a long journey always starts with the first step. The Chinese started the first step by building on their own the most important part of thd plane. The fuselage. If they don't get it right, nothing else matters. It looks like they got it right since C919 has taken off. Of course you are free to fly with Boeing. Just make sure they tightened all the screws and bolts, before boarding. Also avoid sitting near the door.
    4
  87. Yes it is. And don't you forget it. If they can launch a space station and land a rover on Mars, building a plane is just another day in the office.
    4
  88. ​ @jatingodhwani1916  Tesla also rejected India. Never return their call.
    4
  89. Dont think they need China help. HK is perfectly capable of ruining all by themselves.
    4
  90. ​ @ryokousha-s2r  Apple innovations in their new Iphone 16 comprise of additional colour options and a new button.
    4
  91. More like rioters attacking HK police from all the YT videos I watched.
    4
  92. Already hit 8 billion. Do we really want more?
    4
  93. That's a tall order. But possible with China's help.
    4
  94. ​@darth.severuss Do you expect him to be a baby sitter. To monitor everyone what they want to do or where to go. If he does that, then you will accuse him of being a total control freak and authoritarian.

  96. You don't have to speed to skip on an icy road.
    3
  97. ​@nicholasfooong. Boeing Starliner space craft. When are the 2 long suffering astronauts coming home.
    3
  98. CCP will not be the least interested in small change. By the way can you share info on such a law? You got me interested.
    3
  99. The goods are already at the port. The suppliers have already fullfilled their part. The issue is getting them unloaded and delivered to the stores. Nothing to do with the supply side. Local bottlenecks
    3
  100. Dumb comment. He has to if he wants to travel to Europe or US. These aviation authorities have to first certify C919. There is a lengthy certification process that will take years. And you rest assured they are in no hurry to hasten the process to bring a new competitor to challenge ge the duopoly.
    3
  101. ​ @nicholasfooong.  Another dumb comment. Boeing Tianjin plant makes composite parts.
    3
  102. Looks pretty solid. So why not. Almost everything is made there anyway. If not, will still have China made parts like Boeing and Airbus
    3
  103. I doubt Aussie beef and wine are in big demand in India
    3
  104. ​@wynn3077 Meanwhile Asean was also full of Chinese tourists during the spring festival week. Looks like only the Chinese have money to spend.
    3
  105. ​ @Indian_Rajput Just the normal winter flu affecting children in Beijing. It's a huge country. No worries
    3
  106. ​ @lioninguccisuit  Unless of course it's a Chinese bridge then your response would be very different. Tofu dreg or made in China remarks etc.
    3
  107. I am sure you are aware that both of them have frequent air crashes. Many of these are not pilot errors.
    3
  108. National security risk. So not possible
    3
  109. I recommend your next life in Khartoum Sudan. Lot of action there right now. You will love it.
    3
  110. @TK Baha what did they steal here. Ice?
    3
  111. Actually it is the reverse. Native dominate in population ( 70%) and all levels of govetnment. Such ignorance.
    3
  112. You are talking about building a plane. Not a smartphone or computer. You need more than just reverse engineering. The Chinese have started the long journey with the first and most important step. Building the fuselage and getting it right. Nothing else matters if this is not done right, they have no plane.
    3
  113. . Any journey always start with taking the first step. Japan is doing just that.
    3
  114. You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Being landlocked they have little or no option. Stay broke forever or move forward.
    3
  115. Bruh. Can you afford one in the first place. Toys and clothes are cheap.
    3
  116. Just like the recent hysteria caused by the appearance of some weather balloons.
    3
  117. ​ @dbm88  It's not a friendship club. Just like EU has differences among members.
    3
  118. Our former PM was driving at 93.
    3
  119. ​ @pjacobsen1000  Of course. But as a safety precaution, never stand too close to the platform edge. Too many weirdos around. Unlike many other countries, NY subways do not have safety barriers to prevent commuters from being pushed over into the tracks. Already happened many times.
    3
  120. They are a G20 member. They can easily afford this. Unlike yours
    3
  121. They have 1.4 billion mouths to look after. This family dont look too bad. Roof over their heads and enough to eat. Have leisure time to chit chat and play cards .Just the usual old age ailments.
    3
  122. Bla bla bla. Can you afford one in the first place?
    3
  123.  @silverfang1158  An architect can design your dream house. Only a competent builder can make it a reality.
    3
  124. Obviously not true. If they do burn, there are more reported cases of Tesla evs doing that than BYD. Thd reason why BYD do so well here on Asean is because of its affordability and reliability. They have been in the road for more than a year and I have yet to see any of their ev burning.
    3
  125. ​@TH-dr1kgFor now definitely. But who knows 5 years from now. Elon Musk laughed and wrote them off some years ago for making cars no one will buy. Today he has to rely on their blade batteries for his model Y.
    3
  126. ​@mohammedkumar473 They can get all these from elsewhere. Cotton? They grow plenty of that in their own Xinjang region. Coal is plentiful in Mongolia and Indonesia which are nearer.
    3
  127. ​ @ahpong  Nah. They wanted Tesla but Elon said he's too busy.
    3
  128. ​ @ahpong  Nah. India wanted Tesla but Elon said he's too busy.
    3
  129. Let's see how they are going to service their 36 trillion dollar debt that increases by 1 trillion dollars every 100 days.
    3
  130. Then you are free to fly with Boeing. I am sure they are fixing all their issues as you fly. Make sure you don't sit near the door. As it stands this Chinese plane is far safer than your flying coffin. Just ask the whistle-blowers. I mean those that are still alive.
    3
  131. Asia= China .So Asians = Chinese. Haters can't tell the difference. That's why many Filipinos have been targeted
    3
  132. The only tofu dreg I hear constantly these days is the Nasa leaking Starliner that is stranded in outer space.
    3
  133. They also don't mind disappearing eventually with their zero birth rate. Already there are millions of empty houses and many deserted villages all over the country. Some schools do not have enough students to make them viable. I know this because my company was helping a well known Japanese graphic art school to set up their first overseas branch here. The owners told us they had to go abroad because they could not attract enough young Japanese people to their school. So their government has to make some difficult decisions soon. Either incentivize their people to have more children or open up the country for more migrants.
    3
  134. ​ @KitKitChanIsaac  Nah. Just like their weather balloons, this gonna scare the daylights out of Washington, if it ever appears over Alaska.
    3
  135. Wouldn't have crashed if it is. Next time they should buy the Chinese Z10 attack copter and retire their BlackHawks
    2
  136. Tofu Nasa Starliner. After years and billions spent on building it, it is now stranded and leaking in outer space.
    2
  137. If they passed all the required tests .,why wouldn't they? American and European aviation authorities don't work like Washington or Brussels. They are not political bodies. They have an established certification process in place.
    2
  138. Taiwan made not China. Shld have consulted the experts. This would not have happened.
    2
  139. How can it be hard when China is your immediate neighbor.
    2
  140. Malaysian born. Nothing to do with China.
    2
  141. You want to tell the kids they are not getting their toys from Santa?
    2
  142. That's why they are calling it an assembly plant. Isn't it obvious?
    2
  143. It did. The lobsters caught have to be released back into the ocean while their grape crop whittled on their vine.
    2
  144.  @beastmode8203  This is no longer the sixties or seventies. Things are very different now. Why do you think the US military was so freaked out over a weather balloon. Or is it something else?
    2
  145. Too late. The wheels have already been set in motion. There's no stopping now.
    2
  146. Koreans themselves need help. Both countries should ask us from Asean to help out. We have big families here.
    2
  147. You should also hope the same for Bush Jr for what he did in Iraq.
    2
  148. Pretty sure many felt the same way when commercial flights were first launched.
    2
  149. Or made in one of those backyard shops in Manila.
    2
  150. Well, I certainly hope they will. Do you see anyone else coming to help them? EU? Big Brother up north?
    2
  151. All over. Many in big cities like Xian in Shaanxi and Yingchuan in Yingchuan. More in the southern province of Yunnan. They are not just in the far west.
    2
  152. Wine grapes are sour
    2
  153. Like copy the 737 MAX aka the flying coffin
    2
  154. If it meant having infrastructure like this tunnel, then its worth keeping them on the job. More development means more prosperity for this geographically isolated and challenging province. Win win for the locals and engineers.
    2
  155. A dumb cult
    2
  156. American pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Jihnson was charged amd fined for making baby and other talc products that can cause cancer and mesothelioma.
    2
  157. Pretty sure you have plenty of this stuff around your house.
    2
  158. It's Taiwan not China.
    2
  159. Then why is EU so worried about Chinese evs coming into Europe? No one will buy them, and European brands are safe. Right ?
    2
  160. You are talking about an airplane. How different do you want C919 to look? No wings perhaps or having skis instead of wheels? There are a host of reasons why all planes look somewhat similar. Has to do with aerodynamics, flight stability and efficiency etc. Jeez
    2
  161. If they do, no one would touch them. EU would not be so worried about them coming into Europe. Would they?
    2
  162. Middle East countries do that with African runners and getting success at the summer Olympics. Don't seem to stir up any controversy.
    2
  163. You are contradicting yourself. Not motivated but yet getting the gold
    2
  164. Improved by leaps and bounds. Much more clear days than hazy ones.
    2
  165. Should pose this same question to European countries like France, UK or Germany. If immigration from Middle East and Africa help them in anyway. Japan strict immigration is based on their common response.
    2
  166. Just you.
    2
  167.  @Sunny-oc2nq  there might not be any future if this intensifies. Meanwhile HK neighbours are quietly reaping the benefits.

  168. How about H1N1? Aids? Origin?
    2
  169. Dont break any local laws and you will have a great time. Third world? Singapore GDP per capita was USD12282 in 2021. They are the richest country in the Asia Pacific region.

  170. ​ @dhui2974  Bruh. This ship is manned by an all Indian crew. Check the latest news releases from Baltimore.
    2
  171. I was in Beijing during the last week of Dec 2019. It was clear blue sky the whole time. This was way before the temporary lockdown. So it could not be the reason.
    2
  172. A distance too far to achieve. Even for China.
    2
  173. They already have millions of poor Nepali, Vietnanese and Filipino workers.
    2
  174. ​ @misterbig9025.  Until EU certifies C919, he has to outside of China. You can rest assured they will take their time to do that. But they have to eventually.
    2
  175. Nose wheel falling off, door getting unhinged, rudder pedals getting stuck, whistle-blowers getting rubbed out. And you are telling mean Boeing is safer.
    2
  176. Whether they do that or not, it will definitely scare the daylights out of Washington.
    2
  177. ​ @singing_psittacula There are a lot more homeless in 330 million America than 1.4 billion China.
    2
  178. True. So nothing to worry about. China I still a very poor backward country. They have no space program or any high speed rail or electric vehicles. Most Chinese ride only bicycles. They are not a threat. The US should focus their attention on how to deal with the Houthis or the Talibans or ISIS.
    2
  179. ​@TeeHee-vo1bn True. Like their tofu Chang'e 6 lunar module that just came back from the far side of the moon with samples. Meanwhile the very superior built Nasa Starliner is stranded and leaking at the ISS. Maybe they could ask the Chinese to send their tofu Shenzhou spacecraft to rescue the 2 astronauts and bring them home.
    2
  180. The south did the same thing first, blasting Kpop across the border. The north is just replying. Both are childish but much better than blasting cannons and missiles.
    2
  181. ​ @vitopito6494 Hamas thought the ir Arab Brothers will rush to their aid. Now even Iran has said sorry no way they are getting involved.
    2
  182. How? They seem to be enjoying themselves.
    2
  183. Just let the Taiwanese ppl decide What we think is right for them is irrevelant.
    2
  184. Yes it is. There is light at the end of the tunnel and all will be well.
    2
