Since you brought up Alexander, do you consider Cleopatra to be Egyptian? Because her family was ethnically Greek, descended from Alexander's General Ptolemy.
You'd think she'd would already know about the risks from two separate Japanese rape victims only a few years ago...but maybe having family marrying an Indian woman, Kalpana Abe has led to LDP not being frank about the risks to his own people traveling to India just like he was about the...
Nothing you said contradicted anything I wrote. De facto rule doesn't change the fact that the island that either way it would still be part of China, whether as the as Republic of China or as the People's Republic of Chinese's province of Taiwan. They are Chinese nationally, ethnically and...
It's "your" not "you're". Besides, neither the US nor Japan recognizes Taiwan as an independent country. Even if there is diplomatic or politic support for De facto rule, no nation known as Taiwan has ever existed. Not even the pro-independence Taiwanese people officially recognize it, as no...
I honestly don't why some Indian members get so offended when they go out of their way to visit not only a Pakistani Forum but a Chinese section of it. It's like like walking into a minefield and being surprised as they get blown up and blaming the people who place mines. Do you guys simply like...
Beauty is subjective and often influenced by society and pop culture hence the attempt by the West to cast White male actors and models but not Asians in representative share. It's about power familiarity and aspirations and that is why I'm disgusted to see White male models all over billboards...
Taiwan is the like the friendzoned virgin. He think he can get recognition and attention by the popular kids being nice, imitating the cool kids and complaining about China who is often bad mouthed. However, the world doesn't work that way, you can never be leader by follow and instead have to...
While Islam during the days of Prophet Muhammad may be considered progressive and advance for its time, the world has greatly changed since then.
The problem is Muslims, particularly fundamentalists, see Islam is not only as a a set of a values but all encompassing into all other aspects of a...
Doubt it. The antagonism and paranoia from New Delhi is too much. China can't even convince India to join OBOR which would improve infrastructure and boost local investment. I suspect the India media will spin any efforts as a secret plot to help transport arms for Maoist rebels in poor rural areas.
As much as I like Anime, Manga and J-Pop I hope China stays away from the Cancer that is Moe and Bishounen subculture. Japan also has a habit of promote feminine men and fantasy delusion that not only distracts people from reality but also impedes social progress and cohesion. One only needs to...
There's supposedly a bit of tension in the Trump family. Jared Kushner has been reported to be quite angry and losing weight at Trump's decisions and how he completely disregards his attempts to negotiate, name with Nieto. Ivanka and Kushner are moderates but Trump is too far in a way influenced...
Yes it is a popular theory. Elon Musk and a bunch of tech billionaires believes we are living in a simulation. We are living in the matrix dude...*tinfoil hat* and only drugs like DMT and meditations will let you see beyond the fabric of reality.... I think some people are trying develop drugs...
