The Chinese are very smart. They need huge infrastructure projects to keep their economy humming along. But they have overbuilt infra in their own country, and their real estate companies like Evergrande are going belly up. So they are pushing huge big infra projects to any foreign country...

Again...sometimes you have to read between the lines to get a nuanced understanding about a subject. What I meant when I said that "money is freedom for Chinese" - is that money gives the chinese the freedom to leave China and move to any part of the world they want. The Chinese CCP are not...

This Australian guy really hits the nail on the head. The world is slowly coming to realize that even well established 100% private owned Chinese companies operate like a quasi government cartel; almost like the big criminal billion dollar Narco/drug Cartels operating from Mexico. What I mean...

I'm not here to defend China or CCP.....and Mao may have killed millions, but that was 60 or 70 years ago. Mao was a bit of a ruthless wacko, and even Chinese history acknowledges that. Today's CCP is not committing massacres. They may make a journalist disappear now and then, and detain...

First of all, my Chinese friends are not as "one-dimensional" as you think they may be. There are a lot of Chinese who really don't like the CCP; but they balance the order, and the economic benefits of the Chinese CCP system, versus the possibility of the chaos that other more open systems may...

Read my posts......I hate the Chinese govt and CCP as much as anyone here. But that doesn't mean I don't have good Chinese friends here in the US, and in other countries. Most of my personal Chinese friends share the same opinion of many of the Chinese posters on DFI. Even though I don't share...

Your argument is just dumb. If you want a stupid forum where everyone is simply a freaking cheerleader and waving the national flag - then move to China. I'm sure they have plenty of forums that do that. A good forum or great forum is one where there is vigorous debate - and it does not have to...

No need to get personal, or sarcastic, guys...….Rockdog has been on this forum for many years, as I have. He is not some Chinese government sponsored troll.....he is a real person. I may not always agree with him, but that's okay. We all have the right to our personal opinions.

Guys, read this article that came out today in the New York Times about this young Chinese American medical assistant - its an amazing story. The one thing that struck me is that China's frontline doctors from Wuhan who understand this disease better have not been able to share their knowledge...

I just saw a news report that listed world wide casualties - the number for mainland China 3222. What utter BS...….they probably divided the number by 10.

You missed my point. China government did not share the data with the rest of the world until it was totally out of control. They were too busy trying to cover their ass, save face, etc. If they openly shared the data with the rest of the world; the rest of the world would have gotten a 1 month...

Man ....I couldn't have said it any better !! I have a lot of very good Chinese friends in the US and even in China, that I respect and like....but I am truly sick of the Chinese government and freaking CCP.

ROCKDOG....Nobody in the US is denying that the actual number of infected people may be 10X higher than the official number. Even the government scientist Dr. Fauci predicts that up to 100,000 people may die in the US. Because there is not enough testing available to confirm the actual number of...

China is the only country in the world that is very unique - they can fake any statistic they want. It doesn't matter if the number is the count of dead COVID-19 virus victims, or the GDP, or the export numbers, or the number of Muslims detained in Xin Jiang !! Every number can be faked to...

Off Course Huawei cheated sanctions. Huawei like any Chinese company will do anything they can to cheat, copy or steal. When Huawei was just getting started in the networking business....they copied everything that Cisco did. They even copied the user interface software and even the product...

The bottom line is that Chinese workers were worked like slave labor at these Foxconn factories. if Foxconn that serves a blue-chip list of clients is that bad, then you can imagine what the conditions in the lesser known sweat-shops are like. In Foxconn assembly line employees sitting next to...

Your point is taken. No big large complex society is easy to characterize or analyze, but my general point when I said "no social security net" was that it is probably way behind Western Europe. Even the US social security net is falling behind Europe and Japan. I am sure that many Chinese...

Here is my take: For years, the "Western Press" has gone gaga over the "China growth story". Sure it was a very big story, but the Western Press really overhyped the story. China was going to take over the whole world and dominate anything and everything - similar to what they said about Japan...

Yeah, yeah, yeah....We all know that not everyone is going to agree and they will try to subvert the government will. That's not what I am talking about. The Bottom line is : If the Chinese government deems a project important enough, they can bulldoze anyone out of the way. There is no due...

Badguy.....you still have a tendency to talk to people on this forum like we are all a bunch of f*cking retards. China moving ahead of India in industrial production has diddly squat to do with protectionism. It has everything to do with the fact that the Chinese communist system has the...
