even leaving aside calling the ship 'a boat', that looks like a superficial analysis to me. While i am no expert to the subject area, i think an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 seems more powerful only on paper, it actually depends on how far the epicentre of the quake is from the bridge and how...

the ending part of chart from 2020 is particularly enticing! Tell tale signs of a new era in the charts...highly appreciate SCL's support of re-drawing the charts for next 10 years in frequent intervals

Article is self explaining..this is what we have been projecting from our analysis on forum a few times before, that India has been closing in! Let people who have been drawing GDP charts for last 30 years, re-draw the GDP charts in 10 years to come and see the final outcome 😜...

^^ In 2100, India's population is also going to drop to 100 Crore from current 140 Crore. So India also will have only 20 Crore more population than China by then.

But why do you guys need to discuss race and religion of Xinjiang? Is there any requirement of race and religion to be part of Chinese nation? To my understanding its pretty common to have multi race, multi religion in several parts of world. It such a requirement were there USA, India, Malaysia...

^^ Thanks for explaining the topography of North West. Yes i have heard about the Russian labor camps situated in Altai for Lithuanians during WW2. So they have some historic significance.

Thanks for sharing the pics of your trip @rockdog , earlier i have mostly seen pictures of the populated areas from South East China which can be called mainland. BTW, how far are Altai mountains from the places you are in now ? I think that's where Russia, Mongolia and China share the borders...

Jokes apart, i like the fact that China has restrained its urge to occupy Taiwan or India its urge to reclaim the POK. India and China have continued to honor no fire arms policy at border inspite of some skirmishes claiming soldier lives on both sides.I see the western powers as leeches who...

India's hunger index rankings based on the factors they use for calculating may give india a low position, but if that implies the named index which is "hunger" is more in India than rest of the world then that is wrong implication because India has been an outlier in its food habits from...

I didn't realize people can give a spin to the fact that "India feeds the world" while "China devours the world food" !! Just imagine with the kind of population explosion world will experience in the next 4 to 5 decades, it will be India which the world will rely on for food production and...

India's will be 10 Trillion. Hard to say what China's will be as it largely depends on what a great leap backwards the great Helmsman 2.0 plans to take China to! Indications so far are he would surpass the Helmsman 1.0 by miles. 😜

We do know that it did, for anyone knowing economics it's no surprise as both nations economies were mostly agrarian at that time...any GDP highs and lows at that time were only dependent on crops making it to rural homes or not not due to floods or famines. But China by that time itself already...

Plz don't generalize. I like China and Chinese (right from my student days of interacting with International Chinese students) But what CCP did to people of Xinjiang is forcible assimilation. We in India may not like to do that...our nation was created on the principle of "Unity in Diversity".

I can understand the anger some of the posters expressing here, stolen territories, unfounded claims on more territories etc can cause the tempers rise...but request not to resort to name calling/slurs and rather express your anger in the form of righteous anger and meaningful debates. Plz limit...

Yes, China's HSR is operated by Independent operators, which are subsidized by government as the operators won't be able to take so much loss. So in effect China's railways will be shown in profit where as the tax payer money will be diverted to bear independent operator losses. Convenient...

I have been explaining the gap of 15 years for a while now. India can afford many Turbofan engine programs in 2035,some will fail but others will succeed. India will have all its aircrafts that fly on Indian engines, come 2035. I agree ONLY with the last statement you made..."It is a matter of...

Yes. Truly remarkable and the unthinkable happening here. Something's gotta give!

I have explained several times by now on how the Real GDP should only be seen in terms of time period difference. As a country builds bigger base, its no brainer that difference would seem to increase exponentially if you compare to a country which has smaller base at that time. But eventually...

Not really...what you call as discretionary spending can be entirely counter intuitive in some cases. For example back in 2008 during lehman bros collapse which resulted in spike of unemployment in US, the discretionary spending for watching 'Netlfix movies' increased...because more people were...

Right i never said i disagree that Chinese economy has been weak. That's why i said let's stop posting all the gloomy news for next 2 years..it's supposed to stay that way at least for that time. Debt, Unemployement data, housing market collapse, deflation...all these point to deep problems in...
