Somehow Corbyn raises taxes too high, but also doesn't have enough money. Would China not be loving itself in the rear end by going into a trade war with the US over climate change reform?

Known Lecher posted:2028 for Japan to have a nuclear ICBM? I feel like that could be 2018 if they really wanted to. Yeah Japan's considered one of the de facto nuclear states, they have no weapons but it's assumed they could build them rapidly (within a year I think is the expectation) if they want. Canada and Australia are two of the others, I forget the full list. Germany and Italy I believe are on there.

There’s very real domestic opposition to having nuclear weapons in Japan, but there are a lot of future scenarios that are basically uncharted territory in which public opinion might change but meh who knowsGrand Fromage posted:Excuse me those are orbital rockets and totally nothing at all similar to an ICBM how dare you. I mean they are orbital rockets, and Japan doesn’t pretend that orbital rockets aren’t basically the same as ICBMs. A couple years back they got hacked and there were concerns it was the North Koreans trying to steal pointers for their own missile program. Japan’s also discussed submarine-launched cruise missiles as delivery platforms for its warheads, were it to acquire them, which would be more survivable and make sense given how good their subs are.

nickmeister posted:Would China not be loving itself in the rear end by going into a trade war with the US over climate change reform? in the respective economies' current state, a trade war that sustained for 2-3 fiscal quarters would be really painful for the US because a lot of basic commodities would go up in price. a lot of economically marginal families would become 'poor' drat quickly and there'd likely be a lot of pain and outcry from these families at being unable to do things like clothe their kids properly. of course, in this same period, China would probably be dealing with some extremely serious questions about their fundamental ability to exist and operate. remember, the entire reason it's not okay for politicians to talk about Chinese currency manipulation in public is because without that manipulation, China would be in flames in a few months, and that's not really in anyone's best interest. obviously, who knows what is going to happen in the future, but considering the track record of the CCP and similar authoritarian pricks, the onus of evidence on the morons who think the 'chinese century' is actually real.

It's near certain that Japan has the appropriate nuclear material ready to be processed into a bomb at a moment's notice, should things heat up in the neighborhood. Considering their neighbors they'd be p.stupid if they didn't, whatever the constitution.

Bajaj posted:It also doesn't help that Mainlanders think heating heavy-metaled highly polluted tap water makes it safe to drink over something important like filtering it as much as possible. I always loved hearing the phrase "make water" meaning "take the brown sludge we call tap water and boil it for 5 minutes and then it's perfectly safe for consumption." Meanwhile, in the Anglosphere, “making water” is a polite way of saying “pissing”.

Bum the Sad posted:Has anybody read the follow up to Poorly Made in China yet? What’s Wrong with China? Wanna know if it’s worth picking up. Not as good as the original but it's a decent enough read if you need a chabuduo fix and like history. It's a bit light on Midler's personal experiences, which I found a bit disappointing. The bulk of the text instead revisits many older books written on China like the one haier just posted.

It's nothing the average Tim Budong doesn't already know, but I can see it being more eye-opening to someone who hasn't lived in China.

His Divine Shadow posted:5000 years, that's nothing! This is funny for both intended and unintended reasons. I love how the foreigner is an ignorant racist who gets his comeuppance while the comic itself is also ignorant. LOL, the English language, and other languages spoken in America at that time already had their own alphabet. "So nobody looks at you on the street?" Is this a reference to her being overweight? I don't understand. The foreigner thinks Korean girls have small heads/brains? Is this a thing Koreans think foreigners think? Where is this thing from?

She's a French woman who moved to JeJu Island many years ago after falling in love with the country and a local artist. Much of the comic focuses on what it's like for someone who has lived somewhere for decades but is still treated as an outsider and the life of her son who is mixed race with blonde hair but has lived his entire life in the island. Mostly it's Koreans poking fun at themselves using an 'outsider' to make them re-evaluate all the things they take for granted. It helps a lot of you know all the characters, but it's really a good comic. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Dec 27, 2017 |

It's called Mother From Another Country. You can find it in The Comic Strip Megathread in BBS where's it's posted by Some Guy TT. That link takes you to all his posts in the thread, he starts translating the Mother strips start about halfway down the first page.
