Do you know that there is a very big land area beside sea of japan, bordering russia. This land is called the outer manchuria, is in the hand of Russia due to certain treaty after the qing dynasty lose in certain war to russia. This areas was never returned to China and china had signed a treaty , so they won't be claiming this area, so is lost forever. Only British and the Portuguese gave back HK and Macau. But I think one of the reason why British and Portuguese gave back was bcoz these territories couldn't be defended due to their location but the outer manchuria was beside russia and russia a powerhouse, so that territory grabbed by russia could be defended
Applejuice, you are wrong. Even during Qian Long's time, Qing dynasty was already behind Europe in terms of their army prowess. Just that during the sino japanese war, it revealed everything to the allied powers. Just that those in qing dynasty didnt realised this
Trump is right. There is no trade war. It is just that Trump does not want Chinese junk being dumped in US. Junk is bad for health! So the prudence is to avoid JUNK.
It is the US which pressed China to open up for trade decades ago. In the minds of US, China could not catch up with the West even for 100 years.
Then, suddenly, they come to realise that their calculation was all wrong !
Now, comes the US containment policy, the last of which ended with US defeat in Vietnam. Unfortunately, their memories are short.
After withdrawal from Vietnam, US left Thailand to her fate. US use its airbase in Thailand to bomb Vietnam. Phan Van Dong threaten to invade Thailand after the US withdrawal. Now, US is seeking to place their intermediate range missile in other Asian countries which could be destroyed in retaliation.
Today : President Donald Trump again showed no signs of backing down in his tussle with China, declaring on Tuesday a confrontation was necessary even if it caused short-term harm to the U.S. economy.
nobody wins in a trade war.US had never won a trade war in the last 100 years.Wall Street Crash of 1929 was due to a trade war that resulted in mass unemployment in the USA.
Trump already won after he massively cut corporate tax, the manufacturing sector moved back to America, that provide jobs for all American,and poor China , experiencing massive unemployment problem,the "ghost-cities" andd "high priced property "economy has drained much individual and national resources, and provide massive debt problem through out the country.
do not believe in the American politicians especially the guy who names himself donald trump.the american economy is now at or close to full employment .
don't be silly , just look at China current condition ,not her propaganda ,you can deduced the dismal state.currency RMB devaluation is also another strong indicator.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the demand for Chinese goods (particularly silk, porcelain, and tea) in Europe created a trade imbalance between Qing Imperial China and Great Britain. European silver flowed into China through the Canton System, which confined incoming foreign trade to the southern port city of Canton. To counter this imbalance, the British East India Company began to grow opium in India, and smuggled it into China illegally. The influx of narcotics reversed the Chinese trade surplus, drained the economy of silver, and increased the numbers of opium addicts inside the country,
------------------------------------------------------------------------ someone did win the war... US was in the second opium war...
mainland chinese is buying huawei phones and boycotting american products and services.NIKE ,Apple phones , you name it.most of the american companies are in deep shit if they can not grow their business in china.where are the Chinese big spenders now ? Europe.
CCP is being too ambitious in overtaking US for the past few years. China wants to reduce the influence of USD in the world by using RMB for buying commodity especially crude oil from Arab and Rusia. This is what US can't stand with. Iraq and Libya are the good examples for intending to sell their crude oil in currency other than USD.
only those idiots honkies dare to hope for without meritocracy,,,root of opium war was started becos Briton nothing can sell but got so many to buy, so brainless honkies

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China is considering testing a ban on gasoline-powered vehicles in some parts of the country and may set a timetable to eventually phase out such vehicles, according to the industry ministry.
China speed.............I learn 80% of motorbikes in China are already e bikes...........China can do magical things.
eventually, I like to see EVs, e motorbikes and e bicycles are primary means of private transport augmented by public transports which is already going completely electric.
Today : "The RMB, which earlier this month breached 7 per dollar for the first time since the financial crisis, weakened 0.15% to 7.0740 per greenback as of 12:30 p.m. in Shanghai, extending a six-day drop to 0.7%, the biggest in Asia. The offshore rate fell 0.27%.
The weakness comes as U.S. President Donald Trump said overnight he was the "chosen one” to wage a trade war with China and asserted that he’s winning.
The Chinese government is making arrangements for the possibility that no trade deal is reached with the U.S., Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the state-run Global Times, wrote in a tweet Wednesday."
China preparing for the possibility of no trade deal with US. China is weakening the RMB. Will there be another crash in Wall Street ?
