just curious, have you visited china before? or seen first hand what's it actually like? you seem to have a very strong opinion, yet i'm not sure if they are based on reality or not.

depleted might be the wrong word, becomes inactive perhaps? I agree with your general assessments though, volcanic activity doesn't seem like a reliable source of energy.

deflation is bad for the economy because it discourages spending. Just for illustration, imagine if you know that you can buy 2 rolls of toilet papers 2 months later for the price of 1 toilet paper today, and you don't have an immediat

> Came up with a 50% effective vaccine sinovac, and forces its citizens to take it is this worse than not having your own capacity to manufacture vaccine and having to beg other countries for vaccines? 50% efficacy is for transmission pr

Have you wondered why despite being one of the most resource rich places on the planet, with some of the brightest populace, Latin America remains relatively insignificant on the world stage? Why isn't Latin America exerting it's

What % of us citizens are investing in foreign property? Is that a good indication of wealth? The claim that chinese citizens had no way of gaining wealth is fundamentally false and kinda absurd. If you look at chinese consumer spending for
