@e3e59221905@Canimvatanim19@briefekonomi China has built plenty of these things, too—just look at the vast network of expressways! And they’ve also just completed an extraordinary canal.
@halefogluahmet1@briefekonomi An added value is that even the poor in China’s mountainous regions can easily travel to major cities to earn an income or pursue an education, gaining a relatively equal right to development.
@seikeiyukkuri@briefekonomi If they’ve depreciated, just build new ones; throughout their service life, these high-speed trains have already generated more than enough value for China’s economic development.
@CAlowdown@RichardMeyerDC So are you pretending not to see that the renewable energy they use exceeds the total amount used by the rest of the world combined?
@pthread_mutex_t@mustyoshi@RichardMeyerDC Next time, try buying something a bit more expensive; Chinese products come in a whole range of price points, from cheap to high-end—don’t just stick to dollar stores.
@shetlerjones@MarkSimonHK@X The reference here is to the fact that, during their rise, almost none of the late-developing nations adopted what is termed "liberal democracy." And you’ve overlooked the more than a hundred countries that didn’t succeed.
@Ajcons2817@ABC It is unfair to say that they are destroying the planet, given that they produce 40% of the industrial goods used by the world's population—and account for 40% of carbon emissions as well.
@RockyB2_Kensing@ABC This has nothing to do with communism; in China, people have an air conditioner in every room of their homes. Europeans are simply engaging in self-torture.
@DrKutney@Breakthecycle2@ABC Climate change is one thing, but if air conditioning were available, at least not so many people would die. This is a situation where human rights must be considered.
@bsimsekoglu@etnikce Why did the Turks migrate from east to west? Wasn't it because they got absolutely crushed by the Chinese and had to flee? Their own king was even kept in Chang'an, forced to dance! You lot are nothing more than the indigenous people conquered by the Turks who fled to Asia Minor
@BenediktEntner@han_jun15504@broncco2043 The firewall exists to protect Western social media; if that horde of 100 million volatile, single men were to break through, every single social media platform would be finished.
@batuhan68230082@SerenoRosa1@grok Tell me about the incident where the Turkish Brigade attacked South Korean friendly forces on the Korean battlefield, and how it was subsequently severely mauled by the Chinese army.
@tadanohito48@darkerthanher@mrokhsm Can a nation like yours—one that dares not even face its own history, downplaying its past acts of aggression and sanitizing its own atrocities in its textbooks—truly be trusted?
@PatrickBry2@larroumecj Counting on a collapse of China to solve France’s problems? You might as well try sending in gunboats, just like in 1860. Given the weakness of the French navy, however, that probably wouldn’t be very effective this time around.
@YesilovaNe43088@AdamsKuan90624@VartanHalis Uyghurs and the Turkic peoples do not belong to the same ethnic group. The Turkic peoples once carried out massacres against the ancestors of the Uyghurs; consequently, the latter—in alliance with the Han Chinese—destroyed the final regime established by the Turkic peoples.
@batuhan68230082@SerenoRosa1 There’s no need to imagine it: their forefathers completely wiped out an entire Turkish brigade on the Korean battlefield. And before that foolish Turkish brigade was annihilated, it had even launched a fierce attack on its own South Korean allies
@profbakidemirel@aufhebungm China first established effective control over Xinjiang and Mongolia during the Han Dynasty (100 BC), over Tibet during the Yuan Dynasty (13th century AD), and over the greater part of Manchuria during the Ming Dynasty (15th century AD). Have you never read a book?
