  5. if russia does not allow any nato/EU members at their borders than that means they will require buffer states... and ukraine just got caught in the crossfire.

  6. you're applying the 20/20 hindsight. of course if we can send info back in time, if the USA of 1945 knew what would happen by 2022. and if it's by design or not. the USA would've sent more money/aid /even military to help the KMT with their civil war.

  7. chinese guorezhi (passing the time) predates bai lan but it's all the same shitz. just kill the time. if you go back in time in chinese history. chinese society were made up of 4 groups landlord, peasant, craftsmen, and merchant. majoirty of people being peasants. even if you go to the republic of china days from 1911-1949 same sh-tz majority of people poor worker bees. china the ones in power or at least not in bottom have some connection to someone that can either make your life easier or hard. life hack in china join the army. military career. you 're part of the warrior class now. longer a normal commoner you have again what serpentza mentioned your needs are covered. ..until the shooting starts.

  14. depends on the chinese populace. if they willing to still accept the party than it will be there as long as there's a china. if the people don't like the CPC than ... well it doesn't exist anymore. pretty much as long as the people have food to eat and money to spend. you take those 2 things away than chinese people will lose their sh*t

  21.  @shadbakht  my question is how do you convince people to not buy from a country where your own government slaps a 25% tariff + existing tariffs + ocean shipping and it's still cheaper than what you make at home? how would you convicne those people that just chase the dollar sign?

  23. yeah always pulling out the foreign forces card means you're weak and if the other side wanted to they could end you in a heartbeat.. so yeah if I were the ruling government i would try to avoid using such cards because it's also a double whammy hey if you're so powerful how could foreign forces sneak in under you and chop you down from within ... hmmmmm?

  26. the only way us products can "compete" is literally by saying made in usa and relying on that as a value added perk to entice people to buy from local. that's it. if americans don't care than it's basically game over.

  28. why do they always bust out do you know who my husband is... uh unless your husband is xi jing ping no one cares. as for using the sons as insurance policies... that doesn't work anymore. they don't make no where near enough to take care of their own expenses, their kdis nad their parents on jsut their income. last if not least in the next 20 years we're going to see the purge going on in china.
