South Korea Economic Growth Forecast and US-China Trade Tension

[The Lawspeaker]

Interesting! I feel safer with China in charge over worldly things over the US though.

I don't. My fiancee happens to be from the Philippines, so I see the rise of China from up close. For what I notice, the Filipinos seem to be deeply concerned about the Chinese situation. So, if we could either curtail or sabotage them, Asia would be a safer place.

I can say the same about myself and the US haha. China comes across as extremely business-savvy and not as aggressive. I'll take that

Particularly, if you were to combine it with countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. You'd get a powerful block.

Indeed. But I'm not sure about the US, they don't like to play along... Maybe some sort of treaties at most...

Anyway, I'm also interested in what is happening in Asia ATM. Specially with Taiwan. I'm a huge fan I think that island will play a key role on the region's events.

They are VERY aggressive in Asia. They have been occupying islands in the Philippines since 2011 or so.

I admittedly have NO CLUE about China-Philippines relations. All I know is from a Korean point of view, Japan is the one causing troubles.

So say the Koreans. However: China has also been going after Japanese islands. And after Taiwan, Vietnam and even shown a strategic interest in islands in the Straits of Malacca. The Indonesians, too, hate their guts (probably even more than they hate us ! And that should tell you something..).

Sounds like their relationship with SE Asian countries is very different from the NE nations. Interesting

Not only that, it treats its own citizens like a police state. Did you read this? :

I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:

They managed to piss off just about everyone in the region: from Japan to the Philippines, to Indonesia, they annoyed the Vietnamese, the Malaysians (who harbor traditional anti-Chinese sentiments and who seem to view them in much the same way as people here sometimes view the Jews only without any PC-notions), Indonesia, Singapore (even Chinese run Singapore is worried about them), Taiwan is self-explanatory.

This is something, I think, many people know. Lots of corruption in China, but I have heard Xi Jinping is helping decrease that considerably since he's been in charge.
