The SEC alleges that GS committed fraud by not informing investors that the "3rd party objective manager" who cherry-picked the assets that were packaged in the CDO was at the same…

But why should she compromise for him? By your wisdom shouldn't there be mutual compromise?

He is saying that the Chinese government has been able to reduce poverty quicker that usual by taking a heavier controlling hand.

I'm a big fan of MLK. He once said "the arch of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice" You could argue that this applies to China. Change is long and slow, but t…

I call you self-righteous because you don't seem to know much about the situation in China, but make blanket statements based on a few readings of prominent western publications. L…

It'll grow better if the government wasn't so damn corrupt. It may even grow even faster if the caste system is abolished.

My attitude is pragmatic. Both S. Korea and Japan transitioned from totalitarian governments to open democracies peacefully and smoothly. These transitions were stimulated in part …

In India... Caste systems are still the norm, the government is as corrupt if not more so than Chinese. Millions and millions still languish in poverty. Crime is higher! China is w…

Dude. Has China opened up in the last 30 years? Is life better for the average Chinese? Has society not been more liberalized? Tell me how China can democratize today without massi…

"It's an illusion to believe that readiness for democracy is something that grows over time." You're missing the point. Its not is China ready for democracy? but rather how can Chi…

I'm not sure your boat analogy applies in the world of economics. Many nations have the ingredients for a robust economy; skilled labor, an abundance of resources, etc. but that do…

I think the CCP is very long-term oriented. The majority of their policies I think would support this. If anything, the CCP is willing to give short-term concessions if it will gua…

what i find surprising is that only those users with high karma points can downvote. excluding those who've racked up points through submissions, the theory goes that high karma po…

This is certainly not the popular conventional view. For the most part, the CCP and their decisions have been largely credited for China's stellar growth. If you've ever been to Ch…

There are civic groups in China, many in fact. The government has even been tolerant, to a degree, to advocacy groups. I think for a smooth transition, China needs to uplift its ru…

But how should the transition even begin? By repealing all internet censorship laws? Most people don't realize that every day the situation in China improves for the better. Even t…

Why is it that you believe the CCP's decisions are terrible? At the meta level, China has outpaced everyone in the past twenty years in regards to growth and development. Among the…

This is misleading. Among the posh, well-educated elites who aspire for jobs at US MNCs this may be true. The rest of the masses are very much one-sided in support of the CCP. At t…

Just nationalism.... the tea baggers are just as vitriolic...

I work for one of these consulting companies. If you wan't to write code, steer far away. Most likely, they'll staff you in some project management role where you're working with t…

Really? You have no idea why people are outraged? Maybe it has something to do with the pictures. What you cant see you ignore...

It is. Reducing China's dependency on Coal is a huge priority for both China and the international community. It was a big point of discussion during last year's talks at Copenhage…

Hi Paul, I heard about i/o after the deadline. Are you still accepting applications?

How do you know they didn't believe you? They could have been pretending.
