It doesn't really matter how transparent it is, since, International Law has rather little ability to enforce its decisions. As much as we try to develop rules and norms to constrain and moderate behavior by countries in the internatio

I think they're both related to upholding territorial claims, which the PRC says is a "core interest" (ie, something they're willing to go to war over), but I don't think it's viewed as a direct domino effect.

A big part of this is also "creating facts on the ground" that align as closely as possible with the PRC's "9-dash line"[1], especially prior to a decision being made in the Philippines v. China case before the Perm

It looks like it also supports converting the links to use ASCII (ex: http://🍕💩.ws/cow-tako-chick-pineapple-trumpet-melon ), although I'm not sure the point since the domain is still unicode.

That graph seems a bit sensationalist by using ~2800 as the base of its y-axis, and the stocks are still up for the year. It looks like the stocks are down about 20% from their high, which isn't that unusual for a stock market (and pro

It's not spelled out in any sentence where you'll see "must be public for 4 months" in a single line, and I can see how that wording is confusing, however, the basic timeline is: # Executive Actions - Negotiation 1. 90 d

To be fair, any FTA (including the TPP) will be made public for a minimum of 4 months before Congress can vote on it (although with TPA they won't be allowed to offer amendments to it). In reality, almost all legislation is written beh

Just how undervalued could it be with a market cap of 13.37 billion yuan ($2.15 billion)? And it appears to have been going up 10% daily since March 27 when it launched (it's up over 1000% already). And if it was so incredibly underpri
