https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9trLi0XzU4 r9trLi0XzU4 @25:00 to 29:00 Omar Abdullah takes off on a RAPEtte cooing about PoK ('Azad Kashmir') and how pissful things are there. I think more important point is made by Omar from around 19 mins to 23 mins. He explains the plebiscite conundrum to anoth...

Perhaps one should look at this issue from a slightly different perspective. Whether it is the LCA, LCA MK1, LCA MK2, F16 (whatever batch) or Gripen, these planes shouldn't be looked at in isolation. It's good to remember that these platforms, at the end of the day, are a means to an end not necessa...

Ok regarding the questioning of the surgical strikes, India Today (surprising huh?) has a good PoV which I think explains it all. The Congress and AAP realise the public euphoria which the surgical strikes have generated. Even opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, have praised Prime Minister N...

OK, just got a message from family friend who works with a canine unit in the valley. We hit their regulars HARD. Officers included in kill count. I'm happy now. :D TOI and other reports have this: "The strikes targeted the terrorists and those backing them ," the DGMO said. Both your fri...

For those who lament, ISRO's very SDRE driven cautious approach, here's a perspective of what happens when you suddenly become uber TFTA China's Tiangong-1 space station 'out of control' and will crash to Earth However, speaking at a satellite launch centre in the Gobi Desert last week officials sai...

^^ more weapons to puki land fortifies them as much as it destabilizes them. It'd be a double whammy for us. The best time to dismantle pukistan and take over land that belongs to us was 70 years ago, the next best time is next 10 years. The more we wait, the more intense the blow up is going to be...

The point to note is that China has built up its economy in the same resource intensive mode which the West used in the later part of the last century to develop. There was a time in the 1980s-1990s when the US accounted for more than 60 per cent of the world's energy consumption despite having a sm...

What needs to be done to make Pakistan fail? What will China and possibly the US do to prevent that? How will Pakistan leverage these nations to avoid collapse? Actually Shiv, if you ask me what we need to do is take out Roland Reagan's Star Wars play book and keep at it. Just outspend the Pakis on...

Oh Suraj, Ashi is very much around, BRF is his beat after all. It's just he's now going by a new moniker. You should check out the chain of posts in the previous page, where expecting a ban, he said that there would be other Chinese posters around. On cue two posts below poster Zengerl who seems to ...

^^^^^
Shiv,

You should tweet this picture. And fellow Brifites should retweet. That should give it some momentum on Twitter.

@ 1.2 lakh shipments per day, it is still around 7 times less than the amzn depot in california. but way I see it, such uber centers will form from these seeds using incremental adds. amzn has more robotics, more belts, and cute lil "kiva" robots. trucking business will have to integrate ...

Singha, that looks very TFTA indeed! Thanks for sharing.

if population is the critical factor, China would have been dominating US and any other country on earth for the last 200 years. And that is why the one child policy was abandoned after so many years I presume? :rotfl: :rotfl: Sorry folks I know this is a serious thread and I shouldn't be using so ...

amit

Well, you want to believe this. But the fact is, if that is the case, India would not have allowed china to grow, as terms of GDP per person, from 2/3 to 5 times of India. There got to be something in it, right? The rabbit might not fall asleep ever...... Zengeri, A piece of advice. That kind of on...

Unlike this gentlemen, we believe debate is debate, we do not do personal attack, such as "50 centers". Sorry in this part of the jungle known as the Internet calling someone a 50 center is not a personal attack. It is the same as someone being called a "software engineer" or a ...

Well, the best way to know China and have a central opinion is to actually visit the country, just like what the following guy did: http://www.santaihu.com/2015090101.html http://www.santaihu.com/2015090103.html http://www.santaihu.com/2015090105.html Yeah sure and none of us have ever visited the ...

India is proud of her democracy and looks down upon China's "dictatorship". Well, 1. "Democracy" does not do economy much good. China was once lagging behind Indian, In 1950s', China's GDP per person was 2/3 of India's, China's railway system has tracks with a length of 1/5 of I...

Me being shot and taken out? Sure, go ahead. Another Chinese poster will come here and replace me? Don't flatter yourself and the importance of this forum. So Suraj, here is my birdie to you! LoL ...

^^^^^ This happens when the cultural moorings of a society is destroyed. Everything is decided by a bloody committee and then they make a Tom & Jerry type cartoon about it like the one on the five year plan. China has grown spectacurly buy over the past 30 years but at what cost? Next to this, S...

Ashi, Thank you for thinking that I am "probably an intelligent" person. You made my day. :rotfl: :rotfl: I think I'll mention it in my CV! However, I must say I'm getting more and more impressed with your debating and reasoning skills and of course intelligence. You've blown away the prob...

rsingh, i am sure you are a nice gentleman and all, and what you say about Indian people is very true, can you also ask amit not to *started* the conversation by calling me 50center and then went on ridiculing me and how Chinese people were? You are simply exhibiting an anguish Chinese posters here...

I honestly don't think we are going anywhere ... I will stop here. Good better sense prevails. Please stick around and post about stuff happening in China. Believe it or not there is genuine interest in that country and a considerable degree of admiration on it's achievements. And all this on a for...

Not all the malls are killed by e-commerce, but consumer changing their buying habit sure adds to them. You are twisting yourself into knots. Don't do that my friend. When I point out that Chinese e-commerce accounts for just 8.3 per cent of total retail sales in 2013 and is projected to account fo...

Alibaba's 9B sales in one days, does it answer the question of "who" buys clothes online? The video also kinda answers it. Alibaba's $9billion sales is a function of 1.3 billion people. When you have so many people such numbers look massive but they need to be looked in the context. Also ...

amit

LoL, people who say things you don't want to hear are 50centers. The chart you provided doing you a dis-service. It shows China has the second highest e-commerce percentage in the world. US is way down in 8th spot. There are no shortages of articles in the internet telling how struggling the malls ...

amit

Some reading material for China bulls Link easy answer: Alibaba and Taobao are killing them. Just like in US, most of the malls are struggling or closing. Ashi, I suggest you stop trying to slip in FUD here. As other 50 centers have found out, it doesn't work on BRF. Look at the China numbers in th...

I remember the constant taunting of Chinese HSR in this forum few years back. Look where China is today! Fair point.

They will start to put steel in the electronics that they export. Thin sheets of steel. If they can make a version of steel as thin and light or more than aluminium, then they have a winner If they can do that, then more power to them. They would have, as Theo said, created something unique and wor...

^^^^^ Fully agree with what you wrote. I would just add that they have to figure out how to escape the middle income trap like South Korea and Taiwan did. But as you say they need creative out of the box thinking for that. I don't see any evidence of that yet. The problem is when you over analyze li...

It seems steel has a useful life of decades..can be remelted and used numerous times. Even ships sunk decades ago can be used. Singha, You are right but the problem is not the steel itself. It's the steel economy that China has built up. A steel factory has both upstream and downstream supply chain...

Amit, Actually the western economic thinking is dominated by the Labour Theory of Value. Its Marxian in origin. The theory goes that anything has a value because someone says it has a value. The problem is Marx or Adam Smith thought from the perspective of an ideal economic man who is self aware an...

Western ideology is quite different from economics as a (dismal) science. Ideology infects the economics profession severely, making its scientific content minimal. Per western ideology, state capitalism was not supposed to work; prosperity without a Protestant ethic or lack of individual freedom w...

^^^ According to Western ideology, China should not have grown the economy they have. It was unprecedented. So I wouldn't take Western scholars as the last word on this. Gupta ji, don't really understand your point here. China's has followed a unique growth pattern. However, having said that, its g...
