Is Rush Hour that movie with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker?
Never knew there was a Rush Hour 2 and Rush Hour 3 now they going to do a Rush Hour 4.
I am so out of it. For decades!
Chris Tucker is a funny guy. Another movie.
hmm, this has happened enough times that you cannot convince me that China doesn’t already has the ability to render all aircraft that flies in the South China Sea as literal sitting ducks and that China is already capable of taking back Taiwan already. Seems the only thing stopping China from doing so is merely the timing and just wanting the timing to perhaps coincide this fight with the complete collapse of the US economy (+ death of dollar) to ensure no distractions to ending this Taiwan question for good while the USA cannot do anything about it. Seriously a nuclear sub hitting an under water mountain cannot be a coincidence as ever since that time, no submarine that we now of has risked going there ever since and the amount of air accidents in the area seem to become increasingly common.
Either the USA is extremely thick skinned or they are furiously putting their hands over their eyes to stop seeing the fact that China as a military force should be something they should treat with fear and respect instead of this cavalier attitude that they are still immune to getting hurt and that China has never developed beyond the Vietnam war

I watched it. his facts are off and havent studied the topic and still majority of time talking about Europe. He mentioned Western dominance for past 200 years by implying that before that China and India had larger GDP. in those times GDP were not comparable due to lack of accurately measuring science outside Europe.
Did not watch the whole thing yet, the first 10 minutes was just brutal, because Kishore Mahbubani a diplomat, but here in this interview he just talks, like he is thinking the hell with this and the hell with those people.
Seems like he is tired of repeating the same old stuff to white people who never listen (not referring to Prof Pascal Lottaz here, he is okay), the talk was blunt, almost wolf warrior style, lol!!!!
Isnt US independence 1776. what is that Ottoman empire.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote book in 2001 (200 Years together from 1970s). It was about Jews in Russian empire. (80% of world jewery and nearly 100% of scientific power) and when they were expelled from the empire that really gave rise to West beyond what West could have achieved alone.
He than mentioned Europe should worry about Africa because Africa will have ten times population of Europe not realizing that some one else is already planning to control it. I guess he didnot heared the New Europe.
Europe still has advantages like less air-conditioning but major difference is that Abrahamic Accord is containing Europe but not Asia.
They want more countries to Join the Accords after Kazakhstan.

What you're saying is unrelated to why I posted that. I posted that because CMP was assuming that serious incidents in China (such as scientist deaths) were US sabotage so I asked him whether he assumed that serious incidents (such as double aircraft down) that happened to the US could be assumed to be Chinese sabotage. Killuminati asked when the US suffered this so I shot the article.
I agree that China should be able to retake Taiwan; it's just a matter of how much damage needs to be done before they submit. South China Sea is a very large place so I'd caution to say that all US aircraft are sitting ducks there, especially because they could be in an area that is 1,000 miles from China so what could we do except to engage in fair aerial battle with them? It's not like the Taiwan Strait where China would have hundreds to thousands of land-based ways to attack the aircraft. But in general, yes, China is still waiting because the US power is waning compared to China so there is no rush.
As for the other incidents, America is suffering a lot of accidents lately, both in the navy and in aviation. Part of that is because a lot of their 4th gen fighters are getting to the age where they are too old to be really trustworthy but still capable enough such that it would be a pity to retire them, part is the lack of resources to maintain them in a strained economy especially when the military must commit more and more resources to research due to China's challenge, and the last part could be what feels like the dumbing down of the American population.
Fair enough, my mistake. Still watching Japan try to mess around with China while pretending they are innocent like they do really annoys the hell out of me and I honestly wait for the day that China can only punch their face in without any of those bystanders trying to do they whole victim thing again…. It’s almost a religion to these people, the whole victim mentality is sickening as hell. I guess patience is a virtue when dealing with these people because since they have never really solved their issues, they no where to go but down, even if it takes quite long for it to happen
This sensational post is almost certainly a piece of fabricated fake news.
Imagine that, the CPC isn't banning anything, Chinese people themselves are turning away from Japanese travel and products of their own volition.
In addition to this article saying that a lot of Chinese products nowadays are just as good and cheaper than Japanese ones, perhaps its just my algorithm but even before the current tensions a lot of young Chinese travelers always post about their disillusionment with Japan travel on social media. To sum up, the impressions they share is that even if Japan is overall still more wealthy and developed than China, its major cities are really not much different than Tier 1 Chinese cities nowadays. In most of those major cities too there's not much to do outside of eating and shopping. And Japanese food is losing its appeal amongst Chinese since its just raw fish, fried meat cutlets, even most ramen soups are essentially liquified pork or chicken fat with flavored soy sauce. (Thank you! That's all it literally is, its only because of marketing they charge Michelin prices for that shit) Kyoto and Nara have some nice looking temples, but once again its stuff you can find in China as well.
In short, the fascination with Japan always stemmed from its pop culture exports and being the wealthiest Asian nation, so poorer Asian nations looked up to them as an example for how to develop. Today though, take away the appeal of modernity especially as the rest of Asia catches up and Japan isn't all that different from China. I've always had these impressions of Japan tbh and if Chinese want to travel abroad for history they're for sure better off going to Russia, Central Asia, Iran, and Cambodia too if it wasn't for the current crime issues. I'd even throw in India if they can improve sanitation and public safety.

Don’t you know? This is called “Transit Oriented Development”
These people enjoy shorter commute times!
