    I've come across at least one fundamental and very official document from the central government in Peking that was made available as a Word document rather than a PDF. So strange.…

    Chinese grammar, mandarin or whatever, is surprisingly simple. It's the characters that are complex.

    Does it involve the LDVS board that you solder to the main board? I'm looking for a good source and one that doesn't cause problems with the setting for brightness.

    Nice idea! So different to phonetic transcriptions of names written with Latin characters. Would be nice to include Cantonese Jyutping in addition to the Chinese characters.

    Thank you for citing real statistics instead of idées reçues from the 1990s, as the above poster did.

    It's run by the son of Charles Gave, Louis-Vincent. Fairly well known in France. Successful investors. Check out Charles's philanthropic project, the Institut des Libertés.

    Wait a second. Did Bombardier have other offers for the C Series? It's a great plane but the circumstances of the sale are unknown to me. It happened so fast.

    The rabbit hole of Chinese and Italy goes even deeper. They go gaga about Italy, at least Chinese women. I've listened to two Chinese women go on and on how Italy has a culture sim…

    Same here. In my opinion, it's a combination of mimicry of the pro-war western press (with its wildly optimistic faith in US military power) and an incomplete understanding of the …

    I don't know what the criteria were to avoid the purge but I know personally a Russian of German parents from Kaliningrad/Königsberg. A certain of ethnic Germans were allowed to st…

    Your focus is wrong. Poland made a number of political decisions based on British advice and promises. That the British and French couldn't lend a hand in time, is beside the point…

    There is surely a lesson to be learnt from history. The UK offered certain assurances to Poland before WWII then backed off when it realised that the heat was too much.

    Since my comment, I have also found some supporting evidence. My God, the Anglo-Saxons are getting nervous about their land based aircraft carrier in the near east.

    I read through the article as well as the article to which it linked. No mention of the Russian cost of such munitions, which is quite pertinent.

    My comment will not address the hypocrisy and backstabbing inherent in Sino-Australian relations but a quick thought for the Chinese (grape) wine consumer. Relief!

    Fascinating if true. I don't use Tik Tok or 抖音 so I have no idea. Any links?

    It sounds like you've had some interesting experiences! We might want to throw in cross border workers (frontaliers/Grenzgänger). That's a bit different. It can be very interesting…
