the study linked found women were most satisfied when their partner was 21cm taller than them.

So who are Chinese/Taiwanese women be altered to satisfy?

Which type of big men are known to be more accepting of big women?

You guessed it, the future of China and Taiwan seem to be Blasian, negatives grow.
Why? Both Taiwan and China took a bite of that Apple. They begin to reap the "rewards". A way has been found to stop China's population decline.

Hel (Goddess) - Norse Mythology for Smart People

Hel (Old Norse Hel, “Hidden”[1]) is a giantess and/or goddess who rules over the identically-named Hel, the underworld where many of the dead dwell. Her name’s meaning of “Hidden” surely has to do with the underworld and the dead being “hidden” or buried beneath the ground. According to the...

Interesting, black and white is the same as Catholic priest robes and Nazi officer uniforms.

It's great when you have three trillion dollars. You can buy mining terminals, valuable company stakes, railroads, military bases,
you can do a lot of things It feels so good .

Of course you can. Except with the recent example with Russia what they & the world's observed is it isn't their currency & can be cancelled just like that . Couple that with China getting ready to take Taiwan & those 3-4 trillion reserves would be good enough to serve as toilet paper.

Thinking of the amount of water it might potentially save I'd say it's an environmentally sound move .

Don't worry about another China

I'm not . Why should I ? The CCP is doing a splendid job of it like it did in the Mao era , the Deng era , the post Deng era & a return to the Mao era now .

There will not be another country with 1.3 billion people with an average IQ of 104.1

For all you know even China wouldn't potentially be another 1.3 billion people with an avg IQ of 104 a few yrs from now or assuming It started out on its journey today instead of 4 decades ago .

You're right it's not 1.3 billion in a few years



China will be 1.4 billion people with an average IQ of 104 Until 2035



And then it's going to go down to 1.3 billion

This will never be replicated. That period coincided with China joining the WTO.

All of the potential next "China" -- like India, Brazil and Nigeria -- are already in the WTO.

Also, 90% of the FDI that went into China came from within East Asia -- Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Macau, across ASEAN (Chinese diaspora) and, especially, Hong Kong. No other region has such an integrated eco-system to invest in a new country and then pull it into its network.

Vietnam will be close because what happened to China is happening to Vietnam (with Chinese investors too along with the rest of East Asia!) but the scale is much smaller.

probably the first goal is to give the Chinese a way to spend money at home. Good plan, since as the world fractures certain foreigners become greatly disliked and foreign travel becomes less of an option.
With the increasing heat wealthy entitled Chinese in "communist" China will be more eager than ever to party and play by the ocean or high in the mountains.

VLACs like VLGCs (Very Large Gas Containers) are the pinnacle of shipbuilding. For years, it was the one area that South Korea held onto while China took over the other sectors of shipbuilding. Now China is gaining in this sector as well!

This is a chart of total debt -- government plus private (corporate and household) obligations. It is the percentage of the GDP that the debt is. Japan's total debt for example is 1300% which means it owes 13 times its GDP

If China wants to be more developed, it needs to be able to take on more debt.

The most indebted societies are all in the West or East Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Korea.) Most of the countries in the Global South like India, Nigeria and El Salvador are not on this list. Poor nations can't raise funds, can't get loans and cannot develop because of this. Roads and rail stations can help their economy but they can't raise enough funds to build them. It becomes a chicken and egg or Catch-22 situation. You need devopment to raise fund but you don't have funding to develop!

When Western press talks about debt in the Global South, it is always bad. But debt is how the developed countries become developed.

It is common sense because if you can't build a bridge, a port and a rail unless you have the actual money to pay for them then you will need to wait for a long time if not forever. If you cannot buy a car on credit then you have to save for a long time and your country won't have a car factory because they can't survive on you saving 20 years for a car.
