  21. +In Friends We Trust Republic of China published the 11-Dash Line back in 1947 and back then, USA approved of China's claim and Philippines did not object to China's claim. In 1958, Vietnamese PM Phạm Văn Đồng had formally accepted that the Paracel and Spratly islands were historically Chinese, in a diplomatic letter he sent to Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai. In 1958, the People's Republic of China issued a declaration defining its territorial waters which encompassed the Spratly and Paracel Islands. North Vietnam's prime minister, Pham Van Dong, sent a diplomatic note to Zhou Enlai, stating that "The Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam respects this decision." The diplomatic note was written on September 14 and was publicized on Nhan Dan newspaper(Vietnam) on September 22, 1958. _1958 diplomatic note from Phạm Văn Đồng to Zhou Enlai._Source: wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1958_diplomatic_note_from_phamvandong_to_zhouenlai.jpg But in that same year, Vietnam suddenly change its mind, and broke its agreement and started contesting China for those territory. Why is Vietnam politician suddenly allowed to change his mind and ignore previous agreements? You're saying that China has already militarized Scarborough Shoal? As far as I know, Scarborough Shoal is NOT an island and its area is mostly submerged underwater. The shoal's highest point, South Rock, is a mere 1.8 m above sea-level at high tide, which means the highest point of Scarborough Shoal is only about the height of a tall man (1.8 m) and that's during high tide! So you're calling that an Island? How is it possible that China has already militarized Scarborough Shoal? Can you show pictures of Chinese "bases" in Scarborough Shoal to support your claims? Maybe the government built a super secret, high tech, underwater submarine base!

  31. +Ashutosh Sharma You never answered by previous questions of "why India doesn't even want to sign the NPT, but still wants to get into the NSG?" Yet you want me to answer all your questions when you never answered mine? What killing of alive babies are you even talking about? Abortions happens all over the world, are you going to tell all of them not to abort babies? Look, even in India there are ongoing abortions. Abortions may be legal in India, but 60% are unsafe: Study source: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/abortions-may-be-legal-in-india-but-60-are-unsafe-study/articleshow/60946913.cms You are talking about Tiananmen Square Incident? Those university students protestors were naive and they live in a world of education and textbook ideals and have not experienced working life in the real world. The students have been protesting for months, but many left before the actual PLA was called in. Otherwise, how to disperse these crowd of idealistic students? Some of the PLA troops refused to open fire upon the unarmed crowd, some of the PLA troops panicked and fired off at students. Others refused to shoot, but were mobbed by angry students who stole their guns and used it against them. You think the whole situation is purely black and white? There are many grey areas, some PLA troops were mobbed to death for refusing to open fire, other PLA troops were shocked and so on. But most of China has since moved on from the Tiananmen Incidents, only people like you suddenly care so much about Chinese, when your own countries has had worst riots than China. I mean, wasn't there a riot in India about some India guru raping his female followers back in 2017? List of Riots In India source: wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_riots_in_India The 14 Dalai Lama was funded by the US CIA to train Tibetan guerrillas against the Chinese communist government, so isn't the Dalai Lama a traitor to his people, having sold out his country in exchange for foreign aid? A total of 1,735,000 dollars was devoted to the Tibetan program by the CIA. China had lost control of Tibet in 1912 (when Dr. Sun Yatsen overthrew the Qing dynasty) but Tibet was returned to China back in 1951 under the Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet 十七条协议 where the Tibetans affirmed Chinese sovereignty over Tibet.

  41. +Chirm Music China was having Chinese Civil War at that time, so of course Chinese people killed Chinese and China won. Just like in American Civil War, Americans killed Americans and America won. What sort of double standards are you applying here? And did you see how USA caused genocide of Native Americans, occupied their lands today, and imported slaves from Africa to do laborious work for them? Look, the European colonization of the Americas has one of the highest death tolls in the world. List of Wars by Death Toll wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_by_death_toll As for free speech, what about Wikileaks whistleblower Edward Snowden, who's now a US fugitive and seeking asylum in Russia? What about USA funding bad and corrupted states like Saudi Arabia, where these is severe human rights violations (such as women not being allowed to drive)? Didn't President Trump just turn a blind eye to the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince and dismiss his involvement in the murder of a journalist? Trump 'stands with' Saudi Arabia and defends crown prince over Khashoggi theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/20/trump-saudi-arabia-jamal-khashoggi-crown-prince At least China supplies humanitarian aid to North Korea (such as food and medical supplies) but the USA just keep on slapping sanctions on DPRK and cause famine of its citizens. What about USA being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Libyan War, Afghan War, etc, bombing cities, killing civilians, destroying property, and causing those people to be homeless, jobless and without family, so they flock to join the terrorists. That's why when you eliminate one terrorist cell, another pops up back in its place. To me, all those unnecessary loss of lives by USA is much more serious than some repressed free speech or cracking down on dissidents or whatever.

  43. +Jay B And people like you still claim Chinese people aren't free at all... China has world's largest student population so the competition for top schools and higher education in China is extremely fierce and intense. Some students don't make it to local universities, so they travel to overseas universities to study. That's why your Western universities and higher education are flooded with international Chinese exchange students, much to the dismay of your local undergraduates. The Western jobs that could have gone to local graduates might end up going to the Chinese instead, and if Chinese overseas graduates can't find a job, they will always be welcome back to China. Either way, China wins, because Western university spots and jobs that would have otherwise gone to locals Western graduates, go to Chinese instead. If Chinese can't find a job overseas, then they can always return home, thus saving China the resources in educating the student as well as bringing foreign knowledge back with them. If they become Western citizens, well, then there's always a slight chance that they are planted Chinese spies. Who knows. I can't really see how you people are actually happy that Chinese students are flooding your local universities and taking up jobs and citizenship. If I were a Western student, I'll probably be resentful towards Chinese competition. And regarding history of dictatorship, look back even further. Democracy has a long history of failure. Athenian democracy failed, Spartan democracy failed, Greek democracy failed and the Republic of Rome failed. Modern Western democracy only has 100-200 years of history, so there's no guarantee that it will be survive. But China has 5000 years of history and is among the world's oldest 'continuous' civilization still alive today, whereas other great ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Rome and Egypt have since succumbed to history. Many other human societies followed a system where political power was concentrated in the hands of the few, whether its the nobles (aristocracy) or priests (theocracy) or kings and emperors (monarchy) This was because such people were educated and politically savvy to make important decisions regarding the countries future, whereas the peasants masses weren't. That's why such dictatorial/oligarchy systems were so prevalent, because they were stable and they worked! Fast forward to today, and in a democracy (or a republic) the ordinary people are mostly just not politically savvy or qualified to make important political decisions regarding the country's future. Look at Brexit for example, and the referendum decided that Britain should leave the European Union. Its because ordinary people mostly vote based on emotions, not logic and their votes carry weight while the minority smart people get outvoted. Therefore why can't China let the people who know how to govern govern?

  45. +Ashutosh Sharma Because you appeared to abuse angry words and even hurled vulgarities such as C**t Commie P**ssy so it gives off the impression that you are somehow angry at China's "communism". Despite our political system, China even launched the world's first quantum satellite Micus 墨子 in 2016, and proved that the quantum entanglement phenomena works at distances above the stratosphere, and smashing the previous world record on the ground. Quantum satellite achieves 'spooky action' at record distance video: youtube.com/watch?v=4QlcKuxDGrs In a nutshell, quantum entanglement is when two subatomic particles can become "entangled" and somehow influence each other states, seemingly regardless of the distance involved. One particle could be located on the surface of the Moon, the other on the surface on the Earth, and they can still influence each other's states. Previously, scientists have shown that this phenomena works at a distance of 143 km in the Canary Islands, but China's quantum satellite enabled two ground stations (Delinghua and Lijiang) located 1200 km apart to communicate. This is a great breakthrough for science, because it proves quantum entanglement occurs even at distance above the stratosphere, and quantum communication may someday form the foundation of space communications. It also happens to be extremely difficult to hack and provides high security communications. So what kind of advice are you giving me? I am happy and proud of my country's achievements. But are you happy yourself with your country's achievements? Why do you seem to hurl angry words at other countries for their successes?

  46. +Ashutosh Sharma You even made disgusting remarks about licking President Xi's semen off his toilet floor! Why make such lewd remarks if you yourself aren't angry? Its okay to be proud of your country's achievements, by why bitterly mock other countries for their achievements? Doesn't that show that you yourself lack spiritual development internally, when you intentionally lash out at others? Besides our quantum satellite in space, in 2017 Chinese scientists also made quantum computing machine that is 24,000 times faster than its international counterparts and may dwarf the processing power of existing supercomputers. A team of researchers from University of Science and Technology of China made their announcement at a press conference in the Shanghai Institute for Advanced Studies of University of Science and Technology of China. World's first quantum computing machine made in China Source: economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/science/worlds-first-quantum-computing-machine-made-in-china/articleshow/58492628.cms 'The world's first quantum computing machine' Video: youtube.com/watch?v=Vw1bKuSe49A The test results show the sampling rate of this prototype is at least 24,000 times faster than international counterparts and at the same time, the prototype quantum computing machine is 10 to 100 times faster than the first electronic computer, ENIAC, and the first transistor computer, TRADIC, in running the classical algorithm. As for the future, the world is not static and is always changing with the times. Change is the only constant and some people just remain stuck at one period of history and refuse to change. Even beliefs themselves change with the times, and not too long ago, many people believed in gods and a higher existence (and some people still do today) but still the future is always uncertain. Maybe gods really do exist, but people today just can't see them or lack the abilities to detect their presence..

  47. +Ashutosh Sharma China doesn't allow India into Nuclear Suppliers Group because India did not sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty whereas all other countries that have membership in NSG have signed the NPT. So why India gets a special case here, to join NSG without first signing NPT? Also, India is not a close ally of China, and have been opposing China numerous times, such as when India provided sanctuary to 14th Dalai Lama after he fled from Tibet. This increases China's suspicion towards India for harboring Dalai Lama. Furthermore, Pakistan has been friendly to China since the beginning and supported us at every turn, so by denying India entry into NSG, we are doing our ally a favor. Why help those who treat us as enemy, and forsake our long-time ally, our "iron-brother" Pakistan? About the UN Security Council, the United Nations was formed around 1945 by the victorious Allies and they made 5 countries permanent members which are United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Soviet Union (Russia) and Republic of China. Ever since then, these countries have the power to veto any UN decision and its likely that we will keep this power to ourselves. India at that time was still a British Colony (Republic of India was founded in 1947) so it wasn't part of the UN Security Council, else Britain would have gained 2 votes instead of 1 vote. You hate authoritarian regime? Does that mean you are happy with your democracy? Why lash out angrily at authoritarian regime that has proven to be more successful than your democracy? China is authoritarian regime yet we have made great advances in sciences, supercomputing, quantum computing and have become a modern space nation. Quantum computing (which are more powerful than even supercomputers) have multiple uses such as help scientists solve difficult equations in research, for drug testing, weather forecasting, climate research, oil and gas exploration, and so on. It can also be applied to military uses such as hacking and cybersecurity, and even stealth submarines! A submarine with a quantum navigation system could operate underwater for more than 3 months without the need to surface for positioning satellite signals. After operating for 100 days underwater the captain would still be able to pinpoint the vessel’s position in the Pacific Ocean with a margin of error of just a few hundred metres. China building world’s biggest quantum research facility source: scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2110563/china-building-worlds-biggest-quantum-research-facility As for how is China any different from the USA, well, China today is at peace and not at war with any country, as our People's Liberation Army troops has had zero actual combat experience since our last major war in 1979. Instead of making war on others, China is developing our country, building roads, infrastructure, railways, highways, bridges in China as well as in other countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, etc, and even in African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Angola, etc. China is home to the world's largest highspeed railway system, surpassing even Japan's Shinkansen hi-speed rail in terms of track length, speed and comfort. Here is a fun video about balancing a coin, a pen, a smartphone and an upside down bottle near the window of a moving hi-speed train in China. Watch how long coin can balance on high-speed train traveling at 350 kph video: youtube.com/watch?v=fumYdO9XknE But the USA is a warmonger, involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, etc, even in the 21st century! USA is bombing those countries, destroying property and cutting off those countries heads (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place. Now USA is eyeing Syria and the Assad Regime is next on the list.

  48. +Ashutosh Sharma Then why India doesn't even want to sign the NPT, but still wants to get into the NSG? If India's intention is to start proliferating nuclear weapons then why should China let you into NSG? Pakistan is its own sovereign country (as recognized by India) and Pakistan has been a good friend to China, so we help them develop infrastructure, through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project. Pakistan is still unstable government and with civil unrest, so hopefully, through CPEC, there will be work for Pakistanis, and the economic development will help stabilize the country and help it prosper. The Aksai Chin is a word where aksai literally means "white brook and chin refers to China. Also, back in 1950s, Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai proposed the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence 和平共处五项原则 in his talk to the Indian delegation at the start of the negotiations that took place in Beijing from December 1953 to April 1954 between representatives of the Chinese and Indian governments on relations between the two countries in Tibet. But then Indian PM Nehru provided sanctuary to 14th Dalai Lama, a wanted fugitive by China, and that makes China suspicious of India's intentions regarding Tibet. So why should China admit India into NSG, when India has been politically opposing China? Even in Doklam standoff, Chinese PLA troops were building a road at our border with Bhutan, but the Indian Army send troops across Chinese territory to blockade China, even when Doklam/Donglong is not part of Indian territory in the first place. If you treat China like the enemy, then don't be surprised if Chinese people starts treating you like one as well. Where did you heard that China kills babies alive? Is this another one of your anti-China propaganda? Besides China's advances in supercomputers and quantum computing, China is also advancing rapidly in Artificial Intelligence, and we recently unveiled the world's first AI News Anchor. The government is also funding many companies to promote AI research. Even in everyday mobile phone usage Chinese mobile phone apps are just as good as USA and sometimes even better. Video: AI in China youtube.com/watch?v=4Gk6mxKXKTk For example, in China with your smartphone, you can pay for services, shop online, make purchases, have them shipped to your doorstep, order food, book dental appoints, book airline tickets, book taxis, pay the fare, etc, all just using a single app, WeChat whereas the Western WhatsApp is not as useful and that's why WhatsApp is copying China's WeChat.

  49. Ashutosh Sharma As far as I know, Youtube is not banned in China, merely blocked, and people use VPN to access Western websites like YT. Chinese people knew what it was like to eat dirt to survive and being paid peanuts but we persevered to make China a success through hard work. According to World Bank, China’s poverty rate fell from 88% in 1981 to a mere 6.5% in 2012. According to UNESCO, adult literacy rate of China increased from 65.5% in 1982 to a whopping 96.4% in 2015 growing at an average annual rate of 10.39%. As for India, you said "Never will be people raised above poverty line without use of force with India being only exception." which is wrong, because many European countries have lifted people out of poverty without the use of force, especially the Scandinavian countries like Finland, Norwar, and so on. I have never said "everything is Hunky Dory in China and rest of the whole world is wrong." From where did you get that impression? You finally answered by question. If India didn't signed the NPT, then China reserves the right not to admit India into NSG that's all. Why is it called force fed lies? You refuse to sign the NPT yet want to blame China for not letting you in? Pakistan acquired nuclear weapons when the Pakistani scientist, Abdul Qadeer Khan, obtained knowledge of uranium enrichment process due to lack security from a Netherlands company (URENCO Group) and brought the knowledge back to Pakistan at the end of 1974. The most difficult step in building a nuclear weapon is the production of fissile material, as such, his work in producing fissile material as head of the Kahuta Project was pivotal to Pakistan developing the capability to detonate a nuclear bomb by the end of 1984. As for North Korea, in 1963, N. Korea asked the Soviet Union for help in developing nuclear weapons, but was refused. The Soviet Union agreed to help N. Korea develop a peaceful nuclear energy program, including training nuclear scientists. Later, China similarly rejected North Korean requests for help with developing nuclear weapons. The U.S. government had also agreed to facilitate the supply of two light water reactors (which are "more proliferation-resistant but not "proliferation proof") to N. Korea. By 2002, Pakistan had admitted that North Korea had gained access to Pakistan's nuclear technology in the late 1990s. Source: Wikipedia: Pakistan and weapons of mass destruction wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction Source: Wikipedia: North Korea and weapons of mass destruction wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction So I fail to see how China has any involvement in Pakistan or North Korea acquiring nuclear weapons. It just looks like you are constantly blaming China for all of India's woes that's all, from what you keep describing so far. Now for more of China's achievements, China built the world's largest radio telescope, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) also known as Tianyan 天眼 "Eye of the Heavens" that will help scientists learn more about the universe's early days, detect low-frequency gravitational waves and hunt for signals that may have been produced by distant alien civilizations. With a dish the size of 30 football fields, FAST is by far the largest single-aperture telescope in the world (though arrays that link up multiple radio dishes cover more ground). The previous record holder in the field is the 1,000-foot-wide (300 meters) Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Source: China Finishes Building World's Largest Radio Telescope. space.com/33357-china-largest-radio-telescope-alien-life.html The larger the radio dish, the more sensitive it is to faraway signals, and FAST's potential to discover an alien civilization will be 5 to 10 times that of current equipment, as it can see farther and darker planets. Already, the radio telescope has discovered 44 pulsars since its inception in 2016! Video: 44 pulsars identified by China's FAST telescope youtube.com/watch?v=t9nySMjiUzw Therefore, China is making great contributions to global space exploration, astronomy, supercomputing, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, high speed railway, and many many more. Why is it you seem so "concerned" for us Chinese people? Haven't you seen the numerous Chinese tourists visiting countries all over the world, spending coin and stimulating your local economies? Aren't your schools and universities accepting many international Chinese exchange students to study? Haven't you seen Chinese scientists and researchers collaborating with foreign companies in R&D sectors? Chinese people aren't stupid or ignorant (like you seem to believe) we know China is not perfect and has many flaws, but under our current system China is flourishing, so why do we have to change our system? Because the West thinks so? Have you taken a good look at the West on how Trump got elected, or Britain exiting the European Union?
