"The U.S. imperialists are very arrogant; if at all possible, they always refuse to talk reason, and will do so after a fashion only when driven into a tight corner."
See how right Mao has been all these years.

Had they nuked the Soviet Union, the US would have gotten nuked back by the Soviet Union in retaliation. The Soviets had nukes and the means to deliver them. The Tu-4 in a one-way nuclear bombing mission had enough range to hit the major cities in the US.
We can't hold Iran up to China's standard cause they didn't have leaders like China did. I don't support nuclear proliferation, but everyone needs to give North Korea respect for toughing it out and building nuclear weapons.
Perhaps this is why the countries in East Asia are the way they are, they are willing to sacrifice a generation for the future of the nation.
(Mongolia is the only exception as it is a failed state and really should be a Chinese province)

This reminds me of a short story on how North Korea informed other countries about an upcoming nuclear test.
North Korea: "We will be conducting a nuclear test in 9."
Other countries: "9 what? Days? Weeks?"
North Korea: "8. 7. 6..."
May be China could learn a thing or two.

I suppose Solemeini was to be Iran's Mao of sorts, but he was lured and assassinated by the Israelis. China was indeed very lucky to have not just Mao, but so many gifted leaders of the CPC. Mongolia should indeed be reabsorbed back into China proper and finish for once and for all, the West's fetish for the mongol horde and desires to ape the mongols.
now i found this one. in 1955 in one year they made nearly 200 Tu-16A atomic carriers same number as there nuclear stockpile listed. they airdropped first H bomb before US. so the scale of nuclear effort was not small. limitation were the carriers. That Tu-95 loaded high speed needed for protection. I think by mid 1950s it would not be easy to penetrate with these bombers against air defenses and fighter.
Ugh why does outer Mongolia even exist right now? Its just some leftovers from the USSR that really has no future since its missing the inner part to reach its actual potential. Its basically only half of a mirror. Did you know Mongol elites themselves asked China to take control of it during the early 1920s so they could get it running properly?
Unfortunately, China has its hands full with Taiwan which is far more important at the moment. But unless everyone dies from WW3 in one or two decades, eventually this question has to be addressed.
Singapore has very good private banking and wealth management for very rich guys that want to hide their money from taxes.
And thats it. How often do you hear about the Singapore Stock Exchange and the companies listed on it? By design its kinda limited because only other SEA countries can list on it. Even India have their own stock exchanges and are in a bull market right now so they have no interest in going to Singapore when they can do stuff locally for once.
HK stock exchange may be in a slump right now but its still represents the big shots like Tencent, Alibaba, HSBC etc. Plus there's always hope some tech company will list on it and eventually become something big.
Its just western copium because they lost HK so they think: oh yeah? We still have Singapore so take that!
