China and Ukraine

No politisation of languages?
Like unesco
But 90% languages are dieing
Nobody save it
Going war among languages

Languages are like species, they diverge and evolve from common sources; along the way some go extinct. In our modern era, there are valiant attempts to record, document and even preserve indigenous languages.

What's the point of this thread?

I agree, I think that there is even the power of the English language over a person and a nation

Beijing is a big China
Moscow is a small China

I don't understand this one either. 

China is China. It is unique. Its history is amazing. Its people are amazing.

Nearly all of what we hear about China in the West is just propaganda. When I went there it was obvious that the constant stream of negatives we hear are designed to mask fantastic potential. 

For example, did you know China has a great beer culture? Every city you go to has its own local brews, and they're of a high quality with a lot of variation. How many people in the West know about this? It's not an important thing, but it's something very noticeable about the country, that you'd never hear about if you didn't go and travel around. 

The best wine I ever had was Chinese. The best, most enormous bookstore I ever visited was in China. The best questions I ever got after my academic presentations were asked in English, by undergraduate students, in China. 

Take the Chinese bullet train to Beijing, and then fly out of the new Beijing airport to JFK or O'Hare and you'll see which country is doing well. 

If the US didn't keep up the propaganda war Americans would know that actual progress is possible, because China is doing it.

Of course,  Bel would defend China's autocratic regime. As long it's not those evil Americans any regime can be apologized for .......

beijing and Moscow’s interests only overlap to a limited extent. Areas where their interests are irreconcilable are much more numerous. Left to themselves the areas where their interests conflict will dominate their relationships, and they will be hostile neighbors, with nuclear stand off and proxy wars likely defining interaction between them.

It is only the intrusive influence of the US into regions immediately adjacent to their borders, and the fact that US influence suppressed such expressions of their mutually conflicting interests and relegate concern for these interests to the back burner, that moved the small areas where interests of moscow and beijing coincide to the positions of centrality in their relationships.

China has beer and wine.  That makes up for those baby girls they don't want.  Luckily a good friend adopted three of them.  Wonder if he and his wife enjoyed a drink while they were there picking up those unwanted little girls.

Damn, you are somehow becoming stranger in your posts.

Funny how I hear a different story from the Chinese professors and students at work.  You know, the ones who are trying very hard to stay here.  

Why would craft beer in China be a story in the first place?  Almost half of them become flushed after one beer.  There also seems to be plenty of things to criticize about the US without making shit up.

The artiste speaks.  Anything not USian is best.
