Really, I thought they were helping and investing, of course, the fact Cambodia also helps and supports China suggests mutual helping hands rather than one having "Control", and even if it were true, better that it is China than the USA.
From a recent Reuters report "China provided nearly 30 percent of investment capital in Cambodia last year - more than Cambodians themselves. The United States accounted for only just over three percent.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed aid cuts have pointed to a possible 70 percent reduction in U.S. assistance to Cambodia from 2018, according to a draft proposal.
What Cambodia gets from the United States and China is very different. Chinese projects include roads, bridges, irrigation systems, electrical transmission infrastructure and dams.
The list of U.S. projects is much longer, but they are much smaller: in education, health, conservation as well as efforts to build democracy which grate on the government."
I'm sure China was aware that NK was indeed constructing Nuclear weapons, but NK is an independent country, albeit tied to South Korea, which means the China would have had no right to dictate to them what they can and can't do. China did advise the NK government some years ago to refrain from building these weapons, but China has as much right to tell NK what to do than New Zealand telling Australia what they can and can't do.
Maybe the USA should dictate to Mexico what they can do, Oh wait, Trump is already doing that, doing a great job of it too
Hahaha, maybe I think like you think the Chinese think, but unless you actually live here you have no real idea how they think, and I can assure you, my thought process is a long way from that of a native Chinese lol.
I truly wish you would visit this country, and then see with your own eyes the lies and misinformation put about by western media.
If you get the chance, go and speak with someone who has visited China and I am sure you will be amazed that their impression is far from the one you have right now.
China has very clean streets, far cleaner than most western cities, you can walk around most cities at any time day and night and feel safe, muggers and thieves are a rarity, especially away from the huge cities such as Beijing or Shanghai. On the other hand the internet is terrible, slow and of course very hard to access websites outside of China without a VPN, rules and regulations are an everyday nuisance, even trying to find a spare classroom for extra tuition requires several forms to be completed and returned days later with a red stamp to give permission. And the driving here is the worst I have experienced anywhere other than India.
In fairness, before I came to China, my own opinion was not dissimilar to yours.
All before my time Conrad, but however many died in the Chinese civil war, it would seem that Mao was loved and held in great reverence by those who remained after the war. And is still regarded as the father of the new Chinese state. Personally, I still find it hard to understand just why the Chinese have such high regard for Mao, but I'm not Chinese, didn't live through that period of time, so just respect that is the way of life in China, it is their country and traditions, not mine.
Am I defensive about the constant lies put out by ignorant Americans, absolutely. But I also do the same for other countries that I have experience about, for example, the recent change of leadership in Zimbabwe, because so many had the false ideas about the history. As for Mao, he did dreadful things, there are many things wrong with China today, and if you took notice of my posts, you would see I have constantly spoken about them. China is far from perfect, I would be the first to stand up and say so, but when lies are pushed out to support any agenda to malign any country, that needs to be corrected in my opinion. I have had the fortune to have lived and worked all over the world, that experience has shown me that most people really have no real idea about the country they live next too let alone those on the other side of the world.
You want to discuss how cruel China was during the WWII, sure go ahead, but if you really were interested, you would have done some research before quoting a biased piece of propaganda.
So no I am not denying the cruelty committed by the Chinese during war times, it certainly happened, but with respect Galrads, that is minuscule in comparison to the cruelty carried out by the Japanese.
Your topic was in reference to why China holds such hatred for Japan, I offered an explanation, sorry if the truth offended you.
He also lied to the thousands of workers who he promised in return for voting for him he would ensure their jobs were secure. more than half have now already lost their jobs and more will go early next year. Ford are even moving production for some models to China, yet Trump said Ford would never do that, he even made Ford abandon plans for a new factory in mexico.
The way things are going Trump will probably announce that he won't stand for a second term, rather than admit that he has no support from any party, even his family is starting to distance themselves from him.
He will soon have to rebuild his main back-office officials and fast running out of any loyal candidates. He is a terrible man manager and as can be seen every day, stabs his loyal supporters in the back whenever he needs to divert attention from himself.
Trumps steals every day from American Taxpayers, the cost of supporting his travelling and golf in less than a year is now more than Obama cost in 4 years. He also stole from students who enrolled in his fake university. Your hero is no god!
It really doesn't matter whether the numbers killed are 600 million or 600, the atrocities are beyond most normal thinking people's imagination. That is why China and other Asian countries will never forgive Japan, made worse by the constant denials made by Japan, the rewritten history to cover over their terrible past. And for western people to condone such evil is beyond the pale.
Not sure why you think NK is under Chinas control, China is very fearful that any war in NK could result in a nuclear explosion, from which China mainland would suffer intolerable damage and countless loss in lives. To suggest that China is behind the nuclear threat being waved around by NK at this time is really rather short sighted.
Just not the one's printed in Japan, where they actually miss out a whole section from 1914 to 1950
Strange that only Japan think they know the truth, when so many other countries disagree. Korea, China, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia all have similar views and examples, yet Japan denies them all.
My guess is that many Trumpettes are squirming now, as so many of the "Fake news stories" are rapidly becoming actual facts. That, together with the "strong team" Trump created around him is also falling apart, is all adding up to show those who dismissed Trump as a sensible choice of leader, were actually right.
Some British media, those that actually supported Trump in the beginning, are now saying many of Trumps few supporters in the Republican party will be leaving in January, including Tillerson, they are dismayed at the way Trump is handling international relation.
Trumps visit to the UK early next year has been cancelled, due to the appalling way Trump posted lies in his tweeter message.
If he carries on this way, the USA will alienate all their allies, and while the USA is a great market for the world to sell into, that could all change if the USA gets shunned by the rest of the world opening up new markets which exclude the USA.
My understanding is that the President of the USA has the power to order the return to base for any and all USA military, I fail to see why the word dictator has been brought up. At no point in the discussion did I ever suggest or infer that Trump was/is or ever will be a dictator.
Of course the NK conflict involves many countries, but as far more knowledgeable people than me have said, the whole escalation of NK's desire to have nuclear weapons, is heavily due to the ever increasing presence of USA military in and around North Korean borders.
If you cannot understand that the whole debacle has escalated primarily through the actions of US Military mock wars in Asian seas and the heavy presence of USA naval vessels close to the NK boundaries, then that is your problem and nothing I can do about it.
I guess we have a language problem, I speak and write standard English, you obviously don't.
I said; "The answer to the whole problem lies squarely in Trump's hands, all he has to do is withdraw all USA military from the South China seas and allow Asian countries to sort out Asian problems."
A middle school child could understand this sentence, that you cannot and require some form of interpretation explains a lot about your understanding of English.
1 The discussion was about North Korea, that is the subject, so when I said; "The answer to the whole problem lies squarely in Trump's hands" I was directly referring to the "Subject" in this case the latest problem concerning North Korea.
2 I then qualified my sentence by explaining what Trump could do to solve that problem, namely, remove all USA military from that specific area.
3 I then said that would allow Asian countries to sort out Asian problems, which is kind of self explanatory, but in case you still misunderstand. It means that other Asian countries, such as China, SouthKorea, India, could start working together to fix any and all problems, including the North Korean problem, without interference from America.
Hope this is now easier for you to follow and understand. I really cannot be held responsible for your inability to understand written English, but am happy to offer you some lessons, very cheap via Skype. I accept most major credit cards and paypal.
Oh and please can you take the advice given by others and refrain from capitalising so many words in your posts, it really makes it hard to read and looks like the work of a child.
How about you actually read the posts, that way you may perhaps understand better. Nowhere did I say Trump can solve all of Asia's problems, in fact, I said the opposite, so try reading more closely, rather than constantly trying to belittle every poster you reply too. Oh! A little advise, maybe make your opinion about the post, not the messenger!
Trump at it again, this time re-tweeting far right videos that mislead and in one case is completely false.
When criticised by the UK Prime Minister (among many others) he told her to focus on Terrorism, not his tweets, conveniently forgetting that his tweets are often a cause of terrorist attacks. Not to mention the desperate situation between the USA and NK today, totally caused by his "My daddy is bigger than your daddy" tweets
I'm certain he fully understands and knows the consequences of any outright assault NK could make, however, he also knows he can wipe out South Korea and possibly most of Japan before his own country is flattened.
The answer to the whole problem lies squarely in Trump's hands, all he has to do is withdraw all USA military from the South China seas and allow Asian countries t sort out Asian problems.
A full out war against a minority ruling party, causing the deaths of millions of innocent lives is not the answer.
Not my theory but did make me think, English is a very expressive language, swearing is just another way to express a feeling or emotion. Those that don't swear maybe don't have the vocabulary of swearwords, therefore, the premise given by the Professor could well have some justification.
I swear, it is a very useful form of expression and is usually understood internationally.
This morning I shouted "Dickhead" to a man who cycled across the road without realising I was almost upon him, I doubt he spoke much English, but he certainly understood my comment as he apologised
More half fake news, yes NK fired a missile, no it wasn't an attack on Japan, the missile went up and then came down, in the sea, some distance from Japan.
But that doesn't grab headlines as much as "NK just fired a missile against Japan".
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings....
DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .
And now, for Margarine..
Very High in Trans fatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease ...
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
Lowers quality of breast milk
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT.
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
Open a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.
Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')!
Chinese Proverb: When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.
"Benjamin Bergen, Professor of cognitive sciences at UC San Diego, says we have many misconceptions about using foul language. Professor Bergen is author of a book called 'What the F: What Swearing Reveals About Our Language, Our Brains, and Ourselves.' 'It turns out that there are amazing things you can find out about how the mind works, how the brain works, people's human sociality just by looking at profanity,' he told CBS. Swearing could be linked to higher intelligence and a bigger vocabulary. Research in 2014 revealed people who frequently swear are more likely to have a bigger vocabulary than their clean-tongued peers. A colourful tongue does not mean the talker is lazy or uneducated, the study published in the Language Sciences journal found. Instead, those who are more confident using taboo words are more articulate in other areas. "
All English people are from immigrants, seeing as the first settlers in what is now called England were ancient Germans
By the way, the Royal family cost nothing in comparison to how much a President would cost, seeing as most of the money given to the Royals comes from Crown Estates, with lots left over to keep the general tax rates down.

RE: Is China behind farming hate for Japan with North and South Korea?
Yep I'm a Chinese spy, so be very very afraid, make sure you unplug your microwave and tv before going to bed, I get bored watching you.PS check under your bed too, you won't believe whats hidden there.
