how sad that a country thats been around since at least 1600 BC, is still considered a "developing" country
China was considered a powerhouse in the 14th and early 15th century, and their maritime power was also superior to Spain and Portugal, which were the leading European sovereignties with marine ability. If not for Taoist extremists, they probably would have circumnavigated the world almost a full century before Ferdinand Magellan.
It isn't evenly distributed within groups and across groups.
Those groups which reward intelligence and punish its absence are the most successful.
If unintelligent people are given money and power they squander it, weakening the whole.
Physical might is not correlated with intelligence. Civilization is the subjugation of brawn by brain. Barbarism is the reverse.
The DNC feels that driven people with high IQs shouldn't be able to keep most of the rewards from that.
The DNC wants a healthcare system where a biochemist with a Phd and 4 kids shouldn't be able to have better medical care than the homeless heroine addict at thecER for the third OD this week.

What are you talking about? The DNC is deeply in the pockets of Wall Street and the medical industrial complex, just like the GOP. They do not want to change the current corrupt health care system into a rational and humane system.
My math is better than our reading comprehension. Racism is the belief that one group is biologically superior to another. I have said NOTHING along these lines. I have only told the truth.
You are a sad lefty troll who blames everything on racism without knowing what it means.
I quoted from a different count, but everything I have said about the greatness of WESTERN civilization is true, as is everything that I said about the failings of Chinese civilization. It is not me saying "racist" things that is causing the Chinese to kidnap women from neighboring countries and hold them as forced brides/sex slaves because of the sex imbalance. It is due to sad, failed totalitarian polices.
Grow up and learn to consult a dictionary.
What? Chinese kidnap women from neighboring countries? Yes a few "Chinese criminals" do that, so do a few American criminals. But it is far from common and the government has launched a war against it since years ago. Plus, many of the women were kidnapped by criminals in their own country.
Americans have far more mail order brides than Chinese do.
Western civilization is great, but it was not always the greatest. Westerners committed horrible crimes against humanity too, just like other peoples.
The Chinese are actually quite peaceful considering their long history and power. For example, China (except for the Mongol empire) has never attacked Japan in 4000 years, but Japan attacked China twice in recent history.
So... are you saying that attacking the Chinese people or China is now ok because it’s not racist? That’s what the nazis did with the Jews. They claimed the Jews as non-humans, then exterminated them
It is not racist, because Chinese is not a race. It can however be correctly called a bigoted statement, stance, whatever, but not racism. Please try to use the correct terminology.
We see this a lot with Mexicans and Hispanics, whereas people shout "racism", however, Hispanic nor Mexican is not a race, and even legally, say hiring discrimination, it would be classified not based on race but on national origin.
Lots of people dislike China and Chinese, but have zero issue with other Asians. That is not racism under any definition, that is bigotry based on national origin.
Scientifically speaking there is no race at all. We are talking about a convention in America, in which discrimination against a nation is perfectly categorized as a form of racism.
So stop your idiotic word game and don't waste other people's time with your pretentious wisdom.
Scientifically speaking, there are races, that is why if someone found bones in a desert, they could identify as being Caucasoid, Negroid, or Mongoloid, as well as male or female.
It is not an idiotic word game, what is idiotic is tossing "racism" around and using the term wrong, then getting all irate about it when someone corrects you.
Discrimination against a nation is never, ever classified as racism, you will not find such legal ruling that states this. However, it is discrimination based on national origin, which is a protected class in the US.
Show me concrete evidence. What technology China "stole" from the US without pay and notification. List them all and we can judge.
Every year has a unique weather, hence different conditions for pollution; and it is moronic to compare only one year with another at a certain time. And China has hundreds of cities, not just Beijing.
New York Times has an article to slap in your face. Lmao

Four Years After Declaring War on Pollution, China Is Winning
Research gives estimates on the longer lives that are now possible in the country.
1. Yes, China has made some big strides on pollution.
2. Come on now, I can understand how some of the other posters have said some ignorant things about China but IP theft in China is not exactly something that everybody doesn't know about. If you want to kick that around further then let's start with the "Jordan" brand which has been sold there for close to 20 years and is just now facing possible legal problems.
3. Yes, the US certainly has had it's own shortcomings over the years.
Scientifically speaking, there are races, that is why if someone found bones in a desert, they could identify as being Caucasoid, Negroid, or Mongoloid, as well as male or female.
And they can tell if the person worked hard also...and what type of diet they ate.
