Why China will prevail over the US in this crazy world of Trump 2.0
An interesting thing about China is that the wealth is gathered on the Eastern Seaboard and the Interior is poverty stricken. Average Chinese income is around $14,000 a year - US is around $85,000. For China to match the US income level it would need to effectively control all world trade - never going to happen. So they dance around with preferential treatment under developing country status that they don't deserve because fundamentally the power brokers don't give a flying frog about those that live in the Interior. But here we have the usual world experts on everything that haven't spent a single second of their life in China pontificating a lot of utter drivel about China winning a trade war. Very good - your off your nut if you think China can genuinely take on the USA and the West without causing severe economic hardship and potential unrest. No doubt many of you will be of the opinion that the CCP has an iron grip. All it took was a few video images of the last world cup to start street protests and the CCP dropped their knickers. The Chinese were enraged when they saw the rest of the world enjoying freedom post-covid. But of course, you all knew that. The primary reason ( I should really ask this as a question and have a laugh at the Dems replies ) why China hasn't attempted to take Taiwan is fear of defeat. The CCP would not survive a failed invasion. It's a legacy of the Opium Wars, the national psyche is shattered and another white man defeat would blow Chinese society apart. -

13-Year-Old Boy Dies in Motorbike Crash After Making Merit
Your question is answered in the text. "According to a witness, the young victim had visited Wat Khao Tabak to make merit earlier in the day. On his way home" And no helmet, just like so many riders here, Thais of any age, and foreigners, mostly under 30 years of age. Any other question?
