never underestimate the greed and cruelty of the Chinese mandarin.

[@hosainlo6492]

What are you saying? That they will be starting wars across the globe for the sake of human rights and democracy?

[@Midironica]

Exactly. I will go so far as to guarantee that if China supercedes the US in global power they will be tempted to abuse that power. It's virtually inevitable, especially considering China's behavior in the past few years.

[@hosainlo6492]

Midironica And, yet, you're perfectly fine with how the US projects its powers?

[@hosainlo6492]

+likesmilitaryhistory Alan Moore Do you hate Australians, then? Something similar reared its ugly head there recently in its refugee camps. The West have killed, an estimated,1 million civilians in Iraq and just because the western media don't report on it, doesn't mean it's not happening. How many children, do you think, have died in Iraq, Syria, the countless wars US is involved in..? I suggest you set your biases aside because you've been properly program to think a certain way and to exclude yourself/government from any wrong doing. And because you don't witness it first hand, it doesn't affect/matter to you. There are no names, no stories, and no faces to show you in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, etc.... just numbers. And numbers don't mean a thing if you can't connect a face, name, or story to..huh? Sorry, I didn't mean to burst your bubble....

[@alexthewax]

never underestimate the greed and cruelty of the American hunting pig either

[@fishersmith6347]

China is still developing country with average GDP of 8,100 USD. China can not lead the global economy in this stage without USA. China only want to cooperate with other countries to promote domestic people's welfare and living standard.China should emphasize its structure reform to enhance its production quality and boost domestic consumption. China will develop its economy by more renewable energy and cut the air pollution.China still have a long way to go for being a developed country.China will gradually realize the democracy regime trasformation to let people directly elect politicans in the future. By the way, the whole world need free trade agreement to boost economy. Any protection policy from any country will hurt the world economic development.

[@Bozewani]

correct their low income is what stands in the way of being a developed country Their life expectancy is 75 years they have a 95 percent literacy rate and I can say that because 我说中文 their income needs to rise their total GDP per capita is 11 trillion dollars which is a long way from the USA 17 trillion but if it continues China will overtake the USA in 2026

[@thesuperproify]

WRONG! china gdp percapita as of 2016 is $15,097

I think the US should sail its entire Pacific fleet through the middle of the area with orders to defend itself if attacked.

[@alcyoneusricarda9301]

Overall GDP? 100%. Average GDP? Nope, more than 1.3 billion people, not enough resources on earth for China to grow unless we find planets other than earth. Don't forget the growth of average gdp in China will tremendously increases the world average too.

[@johnnymars9782]

Not any time soon as it is far behind the US. It is still a developing economy although it has immense potential and China already has big economic impact to the world.

[@windlive04]

I think in the future China will grow big and leading the BRICS partners together!

All Chinese embassies should be closed down and their diplomats sent home. All diplomatic staff in China should be recalled, all Chinese assets in Europe and the US should be ceased and no trade with China should be undertaken until China leaves Tibet and recognises both Tibet and Taiwan as free independent nations Reply 1

[@owlmanchan659]

it will not happen. it"s not opium war. it"s not the time you people come to china & cut china into pieces.

[@owlmanchan659]

i have no idea what chinese done to you or hurt you so much. you seem like so desperate & keep trolling about china everywhere.

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

I told you, Pasang, in Kathmandu

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

Call it what ever you like, it was still an invasion

[@holytrashify]

you know part of the reason why the opium wars happened right? Cause the Greedy Dragon didnt give the British their TEA....China, for the 2015 WORLD Giving Index ranked 2ND LOWEST COUNTRY....that means Haiti and worn torn country's like IRaq gave more than the 2nd Biggest Economy in the World...Yet you want to be Powerful like the USA and Have a Super Big Military....and deceive the world with your talk about working in Unity. You should be ashamed of yourselves....go bow your head. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Giving_Index

It is something that has gone beyond the fact that some people are not talking about this racist race with the exception of young people who want to know the different views of people around the world who even want to bring a debate or a responsible person who was angry with some of the media, but some people say that this is a true statement Every country has a judicial body that is repatriated to the situation, which also distinguishes what people have the right to and The responsible party has the right to express the views and opinions of some of the world's leaders that some people do not say good-by-case, which may be misleading by abdiweli ali coal kenya nairobi 1;32pm

China has already a thousand miles away in the heartland of Southeast Asian mainland Laos for its ambition of the One road and belt. High speed train are being created and other new mega project will simulate Laos and its regional future with China/Asean ties in the directions of Far East Asian union centric on the mainland. U.S is far behind and is lagging in this part of the regions and it will do whatever havoc it can to slow China and those tied to China as allied friends in the regions.

[@dediman3326]

[@xeecha9152]

[@venkateshkannan5]

by 2030 we,india will be biggest economy plus peaceful nation

[@holytrashify]

yeah, how about you start to learn to give back then? 2015 charity index shows that you ranked a low 106 on the Giving Index for Charity...that means Haiti and worn torn countries like Iraq gave more Humanitarian Aid than you guys...At least your not as bad as China, the 2nd lowest giving country yet with close to the biggest economy, very shameful...yet you are much like them, Military's almost as big as the US but with a people that dont give to other Country's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Giving_Index

India is already a world renown shithole so by 2030 it will be the world's biggest toilet

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

China's a paper tiger. It is strong in Asia but does not have the means as yet, to fight a major war a 1000 miles from its borders, so it is a regional power but not a military global power and would probably lose a war against any western European power should they decide to fight in Europe but could probably beat most foes should they fight against China in China

[@owlmanmeow1209]

since when china decide to fight a war outside china ?! what china doing is protecting their borders. are you really think everybody are invaders like usa ?!

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

Tibet.

[@owlmanchan659]

no .... they stopped them to independent not invade.

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

I would not go if you paid me, however I have been to Nepal 26 times, once I raised money to buy medical supplies for a hospital that gave free medical aid to people in a Tibetan refugee camp in Kathmandu. The people from the camp took me to a warehouse where I paid for what they needed. Whilst in the camp I met a 15 year old Tibetan boy named Pasang. Pasang had learned to speak English in the camps school but he was hard to understand because his mouth was all deformed. The reason being he was caught with others trying to get out of Tibet, the Chinese bastards wanted names so they strapped Pasang to a table and put electrodes on his lips, teeth and tongue. As bad as that sounds it becomes worse when I tell you at the time Pasang was aged 9 NINE. I often wonder what sort of men could do that to a nine year old boy. You would not believe the stories I heard whilst in that Tibetan refugee camp, THAT IS WHY I HATE CHINA.

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

[@caminternational6847]

tibet is a separate country... Dalai lama is the President of Tibet...

[@tpplatfzft]

Dalai is NOT a spiritual leader, don't be deceived, he only cares about himself.

[@caminternational6847]

Every world leaders recognised his highness as the spiritual leader of china occupied Tibet......Its the false propaganda made by timid, deceiving,self centered,greedy , blind chinese leaders.

[@jann6885]

Ok? every world leader? This would be a really interesting point to make, and you're of course sure about this is the truth because of all the false propaganda made by government on your side, which is so typical for free speech that spread false and biased ideas. Just try to gain some knowledge about the horror under slavery control of Dalai, and you will probably be shocked of its cruelty and realize the kind of political farce you've been deeply brain-washed with.

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

No, I am deadly serious. If I was in charge that is what I would do.

where are you from sir ?! just ask your government is tibet a country. as i know obama just said tibet & taiwan are part of china in this g20.

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

Tibet was a country until China invaded

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

Taiwan is part of China ONLY in name. Everything else, it is an independent country, with its own foreign policies, its own currency, government and military

Putin should be thrown out until Russia elects a new leader

[@Bozewani]

we Russians support Putin because he bounced back our country from the cataclysm of the 90s after the collapse of the Soviet Union income doubled under Putin Russia too is close to being a developed country our problem is our low life expectancy of 70 years (because everyone drinks and smokes here)

[@bilfo71]

+Roman Soiko I agree most Russians feel the same way you do but why is he supporting Assad kill his own people that's what is making people around the world angry and you can't just say it's because of the Americans or radical Islam people will see that as an excuse and when people read the news they see Russian planes, tanks bombing Syrians. People will think if he helped Russians from poverty why is he helping to kill Syrians

[@alexthewax]

Nothing worse than trying to argue with an intelligent person who has become more and more close minded over time or stuck in their biased opinions. The world would have decayed from rot years ago if it was not for Putin. You can't just watch Western media and expect to know everything. What evidence do you have that Assad killed Syrian civilians.. nothing except what they tell you from Western propaganda. Where's your proof? Unless you are God I don't think you actually know for certain. So now we must all bow down to the West just like when the US invaded Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Catch a wake up man

[@bilfo71]

+Alex wax Davison I'm not being biased I'm simply telling you what see, the Syrian conflict has undoubtedly many complexities, but to an ordinary person like me watching the news all I see is Russian military weapons being used to kill Syrians, building a killing machine such a warplane isn't a backyard operation, you need countries to build it and train people to use them. Even if the rebels where head chopping Islamists it's no match for these machines and level of destruction it causes.

[@mesoanto1031]

if Russia changes president the country have an 80% chance of collapsing. Russia is no stronger than Putin when Putin gone everything will collapse. The people build a nation. The government monitor a built nation.
