  1. Yet the East has some of the worst polluters in the world.  Seems the government is not doing it's duty then?

     

    As far as interference and taxes go, the West has the same desire.  Plus, they try to keep the place clean.  Same same!

    It's hard when the west keeps sending its ship waste , electronic trash etc to India & Bangladesh...now they have dumped chemical waste and thinking of nuclear waste as well

    Hard for Bangladesh to say no as they are garment factory of the world and everyone needs 50 shirts in their wardrobe ....

    China by default is the world's factory and in proportion has the air pollution and waste along with it

    Hard when Asian countries are developing and poorer and hence exploited in early days.... Hopefully there will be a tilt of balance soon in the next decade

    If you read my earlier posts, I hate this and want this off the country and manage it in better numbers but the world is guilty as shit in this in mass consumption and wastage purchases and this will not help unless people stop buying in bulk ....

  2. The reality is governance is dirty business and whatever model whether democracy or communist its stays dirty ...

    While the west electorate views the government as an extension of their views and representation and hence I believe the strong tags of wanting freedom of expression and the right of criticism

    The east is drastically different ...in the east they view the government as a model of serving their needs like passport issuance, garbage collection etc and hence can be seen as not as engaged in politics as the west.

    The reality is in the east they want as little interference as possible , lowest taxes and keep the place clean. The ranting etc in parliament most in the east don't care ....

  3. Visit more often ....the normal person in the street in China is no different from any one in the west

    I really believe the normal person is happy , because most Chinese don't care about politics , the family unit is more important than GDP , communist propaganda etc

    Strange the west always think their Chinese counterparts is in a worse state ....the media there must be so free they like to report shit
    just because they can and they know they don't care what the readers are reading

    I have a western CEO who visited China for the first time this year ....worked for Fortune 500 countries and thought China was backwards etc until he visited Shenzhen , went to Alibaba and spoke the youth management team and was surprised by the dynamism and the knowledge , openness to challenge opinions of and when he saw the working model of WeChat he was flabbergasted that a Chinese app can combine and work better than all the tech apps of the west

    It changed his opinion of China after the 2 weeks spent there and taking in the speed trains, talking in business chambers of commerce and visiting universities ...next year his top executives are all spending at least one month in China each to understand the place better and culturally engaged

    Watch a YouTube of WeChat and it's functionalities ....

  4. These terrorists need a tough message ...they need to be discouraged to join

    The only way to do this however will impact many of the unicorn human rights Politicians who need the votes and believe that voicing regret and action after the incidents is better than being tough from the start

    I suggest bamboo racks, poison darts, removed toes as a starter broadcasted daily in SUHD format in the Isis areas ...make it graphic & make it loud ....it worked on the Americans during the Vietnam war and sapped all the motivation to fight

    We need to stop the flow of fighters ...this is one way to stop recruitment

    We have the technology to make it happen ....make them scared and head back to a normal boring life of kids , paying bills and haggling at the market

  5. Not sure deviating is the right answer.  China has been a big PI trading partner for years, and will continue to be an important partner.  Though Japan is larger with regards to exports.  As is the US.

    He seems to want his own tangent and way of doing things ...at the moment he is the president and should pick the course he thinks is best for his country

    He doesn't come across as someone who may listen to his Advisors but since we don't work in his office daily , we can only Guess ...

  6. He is elected in a democratic way and won fair and square

    Now that he is deviating towards other countries other than USA , all of a sudden Washington has an issue.

    Isn't that democracy ? If he is an idiot and does not deliver in 6 years , the people will vote for another with another platform that may sound better than "tough guy image shooting druggies"

    For now, the Filipinos picked that as the most important for the next 6 years

    He's right in a way ...there is going to be no wars except internal and rightfully so he does not need any fancy gear from USA unless it's free and the factories are donating that

    His country needs more infrastructure than patrol boats etc

    And much to some posters chagrin , he's showing the world he wants to trade with China , they won , the noise of the media have floated to another story and now the time to be practical and sew up business deals

  7. A western life has more value - isn't that why the westerners were kidnapped?

    What a racist amount of BS !

    If that is true, why bother with the refugees ? They are not westerners ....in fact it's probably better the west stop interfering with the ME ...no part of the ME culturally is identical to the west and probably hard to understand and get consensus

    The introduction of modern weapons and bombs and arming groups have given the tribes more devastating tools to inflict harm

    They should kept the conflict tribal and these guys will be shooting a few thousands dead probably annually vs giving them mortars IEDs etc which now has changed the war zone and tactics used and impacting millions

    Guess the factories and their policy influence has the western Politicians literally by the balls !

  8. I am going to do it as well next July when the O marriage expires ...heading to Laos while is painless from a paperwork point is a however a waste of time at most to describe it politely and that is not a Lux experience

    Granted there are some that like to do that trip and take the 2/3 days to get it done for another year

    At 50k annual ...it may be worth the time to change this now

  9. He only has a big mouth , he can't change a country full of poverty and corruption on every level of the society .  Most Filipinos just want to get out. 

     

     

     

     

     



    If we say and believe that ? Why bother with governments ? The Filipinos don't want to get out , they want a better country they can make a decent living and homes for their next generations

    Many presidents have come and go in Philippines promising change , so far he has acted on his election campaigns and the people see that as creditability ...imagine trump won ? You think the idiot will build the wall ?

  10. You are trolling.  Sad you are missing this point.  I freely admit the US has many problems.  It'd be good if you admit to this one.



    I can't because is not true ....the definition of free speech as mentioned in Google is different from the minds of the Asians

    When the Chinese government does something poorly , you will find me saying so in my previous posts. I am a firm believer of that and no I am not CCP as I grew up in NZ and know and can see BS when I see it

    The Asian mentality is no mystery shrouded in fog ...we talk less and think more and more selective who we share those thoughts with ....sorry if we are not vocal enough to qualify for free speech definition
