Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

I mean that's been a prediction of Chinese nationalists on this forum since I've ever been here.



Lol, "I've" been retired for ages. One of the benefits of a successful career is being able to punch out before you're 60.

In other news, Trump is saying he's doing "well" (biggly well?) but that the next few days will be the real test.

I don't think that the US is the best example of democracy. If it was, it would have abolished the electoral college by now and just had a straight vote for the presidency. Of course it's easier said than done, but the fact the EC still exists is a flaw and not something that should be replicated elsewhere.

I'm also not in favour of presidential systems (where the head of state has most of the power) generally.



Apart from attacking UN forces in Korea and seeking to help the North conquer the ROK (pushing way over the 39th parallel and only being stopped by a UN counterattack), attacking India and Vietnam - and threatening Taiwan with invasion despite the islands not being a threat to China.

Sure, the PRC hasn't undertaken as many military conflicts as the US has done in the same time period. However, that's largely because the PRC hasn't had the military muscle to do so, and equally reached an understanding with the US during the Cold War that meant it felt less threatened. How China acts over the next 50 years will be more telling.

Ehhh? China was a reluctant participant in the Korean war. It only entered the war because Mac Arthur appeared intent on crossing the Yalu.
Trevor Maxwell after studying the Brooks Henderson Report on The Sino India conflict squarely lays the blame on India and why should'nt China continue to threaten Taiwan. A state of civil war existed and a defeated Chiang who retreated to China owned Taiwan used it as a base with hopes of someday returning to China.

At this point, we don’t know if this is true or not that he even has the virus since he lies so much, he might be pretending to be sick to avoid the debates and dealing with all the court cases he has going at him and his administration.

"When friend come we will treat him with wine but when wolf invade we will greet him with gunfire" The original song come from the movie Battle of Shangganling just outside DMZ Korea When Volunteer army fought heroically beating back repeated attempt to dislodge the Chinese . Finally convince you know who that Korean war is unwinnable.China at the finest moment ! what happened since China become the punching bag!

Maybe you want to post about this battle in the historic Korean war thread. I think we've got a thread going for that.

Even if he was pretending, I'm pretty sure the truth would leak out.

I know what you mean. My wife said the same thing. That's the trouble with pathological liars. On the end, no one believes him.

I know, but I just had to chance it because of such a blatantly wrong viewpoint needed to be refuted. I kept it short.

I don't know if it is part of the election law process, but outgoing governments don't introduce new policy initiatives and generally act in consultation with an incoming government.

So old fashioned!

Yup, my fathers' viewpoint is rubbing off on to me. Perhaps I had better start practicing "Social distancing'
