One reason why Indians lose in unarmed combat is because their muscles have high fat content, good only for sissy push around.
Singaporeans should know how badly most Indians do in "pull-ups", with their weak arms.

The paradox of low body mass index and high body fat percentage among Chinese, Malays and Indians in Singapore

RESULTS: Compared with body fat percentage (BF%) obtained using the reference method, BF% for the Singaporean Chinese, Malays and Indians were under-predicted by BMI, sex and age when an equation developed in a Caucasian population was used. The mean prediction error ranged from 2.7% to 5.6% body fat. The BMI/BF% relationship was also different among the three Singaporean groups, with Indians having the highest BF% and Chinese the lowest for the same BMI.

This kind of study from singapore would produce a very big data bias or wrong perception. For example, Singapore's Chinese population are from very small geography regions of their ancestral home mostly from south and south-east costal regions, see the picture. These regions are genetically very closed (less mixed with the rest of China). Study of Sigaporian Chinese would give an unreliable result regarding Chines in general.


This kind of data bias and faulty perception can be seen elsewhere. For example, northern Europeans can be close to 10cm taller than southern Europeans on average. A statistic taken in one European country will certainly give the wrong result when applying caucasian in general.

Indian is also a very diverse population. If Singaporian Indians are from a small region of India, the result of the study would be missleading as well. Only study of Malay is more reliable because they are local and same as Malaysians just over the border.

Similar study has been made in Taiwan and BMI standard officially adjusted in the same way. Guess what, Taiwan's 60% or more population are from Fujian province over the straight. Mainland China however does not set a different BMI standard officially, nor is a study conducted because it is meaningless for a continental sized country.

Not justifying this at all, but it's not like the "troubled teen" industry doesn't exist in the US and other countries. Famously Paris Hilton was a victim of this when she was a child and has performed advocacy work towards this issue, 60 minutes Australia also made a documentary about this:
So framing this as almost an issue exclusive to China or how it's more insidious because Chinese schools are doing it (like in the video) when we know this is a worldwide problem when bad parents aren't able to understand or empathize with their alienated teenage children seems more like a way of slandering a specific country rather than focusing on the issue at large, which is disappointing.

Also, the top comment on the video saying "CCP will censor this" when Sixth Tone (a Chinese outlet) articles, CCTV exposés, various popular Chinese videogames and tv shows have been made about this topic is really funny to me.

I saw on the morning news the Democrats are pulling out black women Democrats to shill for Biden like never before. This is the problem of the Democrat's strategy of trying to appeal to white voters for Trump while ignoring minority concerns. The Democrats think minorities have no other choice but to vote Democrat. They're the lesser of two evils compared to Trump. Well now because of Biden's poor performance at the debate, he's hemorrhaging white Democrats who are his base and independents. He's needs those blacks voters to make up that loss when they weren't happy with Biden for their own reasons before the debate. And to put a cherry on top the Biden Democrats are claiming they're for Kamala Harris to replace Biden if he were to drop out when you know the Democrats are going to want Kamala.

Scott Ritter believes that Putin doesn't need Xi Jinping's approval for anything and Xi Jinping has no leverage over Putin.

I disagree. If there is one person Putin would shut up and listen to. It's Xi. China is the thread that keeps the Russian economy flowing. Putin knows that. That's why he will never anger Xi.

Russia's other ally is India which is not reliable at all. Indians are still too busy suffering from white worshipping mentality since the colonial era. Putin knows that too.

What else are they suppose to do? The main problem for the democrats is there isn’t any candidate who can replace Biden. Maybe they could try Gavin Newsom but his polls suck. The only real candidate is Michelle Obama but she refuses to run for election. As least for now. So Biden continues to remain the only real democrat option.

Wouldn't that be ironic that the US bans Huawei over national security concerns. It's not only cheaper but better. Look at the US's 5G rollout which is at a pace not seen through the naked eye. You know how the West claims China can't do this or that because it needs a collective ecology of many advanced nations that one country can't do on their own? Well the West is obsessed with looking like a 1st world nation and they need access to the world's technology to do that. That's what going to make the West either surrender or collapse.


I believe number of patents is how the US determines how they're ahead in the world... until China has more.

I was pointing out how the Democrats shot themselves in the foot if they lose to Trump.

Holy shit, so President 牛送国 might really be happening?

Peter Thiel probably doesn't like Nvidia because its CEO isn't white and not because of the monopoly like he says. Thiel and Palantir CEO Alex Karp are self-proclaimed right-wing nationalists on technology. I know a Chinese woman who once dated one of Palantir's executives and he told her that it's discouraged that any of their important staff there date anyone Chinese for fear they might be a spy.
