The whole japanese culture is the invention from China, japanese copies the East and West, even the japanese language are a pirated version of Chinese. So I think japan is the copy cat.

China doesn't take any shit...China executes all criminals....it's the only system human's will respect....the soft/decadent West needs to learn from China.

Hi guys!! I am from Pakistan and I live in the US. Here people despise communism. I don't know much about communism. Is it a good system? The American people here say that communism means everybody is equal even if some work harder than others. Is it really like that??

Are Chinese happy with the Communism government they have?

@shermanlee85856 It's budget may be the 2nd largest, but that's still very small when compared to the US of NATO minus the US, and slightly less then SK and Japan combined. Yes China has numbers, but no they lack discipline and the Liberation Army's Navy couldn't land troops on an island as far from the mainland as Taiwan, they lack the logistical capability. Even if they could, why would the PRC want to start a war with SK, Japan, Australia, NZ, US and NATO?

@dave19941000 China has the largest military and some of the fittest man enlisting in it with discipline right on the top , although china's technology is very prehistoric , the taiwanese military aint very well off either that taiwanese military has a very poorly matained military as shown in the recent test firing which the taiwanese President himself attended , china is not only capable enough to even taiwan but even stand as a treat to the us and further more it has the 2nd largest budget

[shermanlee85856]

@dave19941000 Thats no true , copying is the best way to make profit when you arent competent enough , besides if you ever notice everything that comes out of china comes in a variety of standards depending on the price many would surprise you to know that they came from the same factory , the basic example to the west and japan's imitation ranges from chopsticks (almost the whole of asia uses it) paper , gunpowder and even the most basic fireworks.

Hey you atheist, China needs,"atheist missionasries" to re-convert those Chinese who were former atheist but now are in some-way religious, especially those born again Christian Chinese. who now number 110 million. Up from 1 million in 1949 when Mao&the communist came to power. There should be no more Christianity in China today because 62 years of agressive government crackdowns should have wiped out all religion including Christianity. Atheist China needs you go, go, go.

[dave19941000]

As impressive as China's military is, it's still outdated and only a threat to land boarder countries. They can't even invade Taiwan if they wanted to (and believe me, they want to).

[dave19941000]

@YotJoey And yet China is the one that makes cheap shitty replicas of everything Japan and the west makes.

[1longshot3]

@YotJoey the vast majority of worldwide cultures, languages, and religions are pirated and slightly modified versions of some other. everyone's a bloody 'copy cat'.
