Funny how they killed more hostages themselves than they managed to rescue so far.
There goes the theory that Hamas attack on 7 October is the reason for their maniacal actions.

they wont be saying this in another few years when Arab states are armed with advanced Chinese weapons and can actually destroy Israel using attrition war !
I strongly disagree. I believe that China is doing the right thing by spending just enough money on its military to deter the United States and spending the rest on education, R&D, infrastructure, etc. I believe that excessive military spending would hurt China in the long run, like it hurt the USSR and the US.

Gone where? It will still be 100 miles off the coast of mainland China 50 years later. Also, when it's 14 billion vs 23 million, something more than soft power will be in play. Looking at the voter share, quite a few Taiwanese are already tired of "democracy". If China can keep developing, peaceful reunification may well become a reality - one big Chinese city can be as prosperous as the whole of Taiwan. China should have no problem integrate with Taiwan.
The Economist, nuff said.
For some Indians, what happens now in China can only occur in their dreams.
This India zero dude thinks that white people being impressed is intended to impress him/her more.
So laughable these non-white racists who place themselves *second* on the race hierarchy, below whites. I mean, if you wanna be a racist, put yourself at the top of the totem pole, stupid.
If you think $50b of trade in either country direction can determine biggest economies in Europe than i have bridge to sell you.
Putin has very long association with Germanic people thats why he never really wanted to embarrass Germany for its small economy in Europe as Germany does not have anything else like Soft Power of French where Arabs buy French culture and Real Estate. Putin still have following in Germany. I am pretty sure he used German political class to weaken rest of Europe and i am not referring to energy deals. and certainly not every thing online or need write about it. Just give you scale of Russia wealth. Russia spent over $100B on FIFA, Olympics and APEC summit and that was 15 years ago . The Muslim areas will be far far beyond that.
how can GDP of people who are essentially living in rental housing in Germany the same with people who have very different life style. I am not referring to difference in huge quantity of software engineers that Russian produces.
think beyond those numbers.
Now I'm almost living here in China for about one year and in my life I have visited over 20 countries, including Japan, US, Europe, Singapore, HK, South Korea and Taiwan. When I compare of all of the countries China is the number one in technologies, infrastructure, electric cars and cleanliness. 2009 was my second time in China and how they have changed in a period of 14 years is just crazy. Give China another 10-15 years and every Taiwanese will be jealous.
Last summer when I have visited Taiwan. It feels already so backwards, when compare with China. But my Taiwanese friends are so brainwashed and they don't believe what I have told them about Mainland.
The problem what Taiwan has is the youth unemployment.
Many of my friends are high educated with an engineer degree, but working in a cinema or as a train stuff. That is the situation in Taiwan.
The peaceful reunification will come, when China will ramp up their semiconductor field.
After that time Taiwan will suffer from many economc crisis, which many smart Taiwanese people are willing to move to Mainland to work in the semiconductor or other field, which would benefits China's technology advancement even more.
Taiwan would rely more in manufacturing, services and agricultural. The young people are going to give the government more pressure and they are seeking more help from the west, but the west doesn't need Taiwan anymore, when China is an fully developed and independent economy.
After that Taiwan is lying on their knees and begging for reunification.
