There is a difference between which type of system is running the country and other things like black markets in comparison to the fact that you are a chinese. Non-related issues.

 

[chrisiscoolerthanyou]

hehh okay if you say so.
then i'll just say i dont like china.

that is a thing by itself.

yes india's gonna be big too...

China got a good opening. But I reckon North Korea might got better one.

If Hu got the 8:2... Kin Jong got the perfect 10

screw china and india. forever "emerging giants". it's so much easier to 'emerge' when you are shit, than to progress when you are already developed. and yet that is what europe, USA and japan do consistently.

personally the 2 kids involved both looked like typical ah tiong kids to me... i dont see the diff

singapore's foreign imports obviously don't work. you wanna boost local sports, you don't bring the WORLD to SINGAPORE. you get singaporean asses out there in the world. you bring a foreigner in and they will just get worse. remember that we only take in quitters and outcasts from other countries. but then again, you send a singaporean overseas, he will never return.

and it's nice to see susilo get whooped by a young malaysian born and bred

north korea cannot hold opening ceremony, because their 'fireworks' will cause radiation

here's a good idea that DOESN'T work-
COMMUNISM

nope. check the growth rates (in %) of China and India, compared with USA, Japan and Europe.
In Chinese, they call it "yi ge tian, yi ge di".

yes. to illustrate what i mentioned, growth rate is calculated as the change in the current period's GDP (or whatever you are measuring) against the previous period.

china and india have been producing way below the frontier of what is possible using existing technology and knowledge. this is the only reason why a surge in growth is possible.

developed nations (also like what i have mentioned) are already producing close to the maximum potential of technology and labour practices. for developed nations to grow it would take industrial innovation, as they have already exhausted the constraints of technology and skilled labour.

for growing nations such as china and india, no innovation is required because all they need to do is use technology and skills that are already available, and put their resources that have been underutilised to work.

in financial terms, investors benefit/lose from the CHANGE in GDP (growth) rather than the GDP levels themselves. but it doesn't make sense to use the way the growth of a nation is financed to measure its state of development.

take singapore for example; at the rate at which growth is falling, and inflation rising, we will hit a recession soon. all the government is trying to say is "it's not a recession yet". but does a lack of growth tell the story of singapore's current state of industrialization? mah bow tan says, bring it on.

which china do you prefer? one that hides everything from the world? or one that is willing to expose all this to the world, in a bid to show that the world is changing, and so is china.

 

[shinobi]

there are 2 uses for the word "china",

1. china, the country, the people
2. the government of china

when we say, "china's development" or "to expose china", we are talking about the country

but when we say, "china tries to hide everything", "china's human rights laws", we are talking about the communist government.

today a british journalist was assaulted and restrained by chinese police despite being given official clearance to give press coverage of beijing. because he was photographing pro-tibet demonstrators

i was watching Channel 5's news.

the anchor said something damn powerful about this case.

i can't seem to remember the exact line.

something bout the chinese from China having an obsession with .................

can't really remember the final few words but she caught my attention with that line.

anyone remembers?

 

[billthegeek]

There are probably even more political, economic and social reforms ahead for china. Perhaps the china in future will be different, just like how communism eventually collapsed in Russia in 1990.

 

[chrisiscoolerthanyou]

yeaa.. china now the government control them same as singapore..
same pattern.

 

[THOA]

Very nicely done...

The girl who got replaced must be devastated.

Btw, the term "for the interest of the nation" is the most convenient excuse or justification for any governmental dumbass decision.

1stly i cant believe the reason they had to get another gal to sing, look at our national day, some of the ladies who went up to sing were definitely NOT attractive at all. but still they were put on stage cos of their ability to perform. i mean, how cute can a girl so young look? want her to look cuter just put make up lar lol

2ndly, even if they could justify their reason, why should they tell the whole world abt it, just let it remain a secret lar. they shud know ppl are gonna criticize them for it...or do they? :???:
