you mean the decline of the republican party and the entrenchment of angry white uneducated men for the next 10 years? It's already in the cards.

people on hacker news don't seem to realize there are shades of gray in the world, it's not black and white. Hillary might be light gray, but trump is BLACK. just like whenever there's discussion about Russia or China, people goes BUT US!. no. shades of gray.

you're letting big finance cloud your judgement. you don't think trump is influenced by 'big finance'? how about the real estate? Russia? republican 1%ers?

>hillary would be very similar to obama and bush

lol you lost my interest here too. anyone who thinks obama and bush are the same has no clear grasp of reality

1.) you're assuming voting for hillary is automatic war with Russia. and would vote based on that single fallacy. (very doubtful you're american anyways)

2.) You, being "single issue" voter, ignore that trump is a psychopathic, women-hating, racist, tax-dodging, russia-affiliated antichrist who will bring shame and destruction to America.

3.) You are so afraid of Russia (they're failing economically, politically, and technically) that you would vote a madman into the US office. You are the type of people that would vote in Hitler.

wow, ever heard of freedom of speech? newspapers are free to express their own beliefs. you won't get that in Russia or China.

easy, hacker news should block IPs originating from Russia and China. they're mostly just state sponsored posters anyways

>And what bold advances has Russia made? > They neutralised Georgia after Georgia attacked and killed several of their soldiers. > They seized Crimea after the new western-imposed government threatened to end the perpetual lease of the Sevastopol naval base

wow, what universe do you live in where conquering a whole nation is justified by a few lifes lost or stopping a commercial agreement? disgusting

so everyone is stupid in your opinion?

such lies.

1.) Paul Manafort, Trump's previous manager, received a cash payment of more than $12 million from Pro-Russia party in Ukraine

2) Donald Trump's campaign's ONLY intervention in the entire GOP platform was to remove anti-Putin language from the platform re: Ukraine.

3) Not only that, but just days before the RNC, Carter Paige, one of Trump's foreign policy advisers traveled to Russia and gave a speech attacking America's policies towards Russia, calling America's focus on democratization and fighting inequality "hypocritical."

4) The Intelligence community has confirmed that Russian Intelligence is responsible for the hacking of the DNC, which is an obvious attempt to harm Hillary Clinton's campaign.

5) Furthermore, Donald Trump called on Russia to release/hack any emails they could get their hands on.

6) Trump's campaign manager has ties to pro-Putin oligarchs who were propped up by the Kremlin. This isn't new information. As long ago as 2005, there were calls to McCain's people to try and do something about Manafort because he was working against American interests in the region.

7) Trump has praised Putin numerous times, calling him a far better leader than Obama.

8) Donald Trump has taken an anti-NATO stance.

so a psychopathic, women-hating, racist, tax-dodging, russian affiliated candiate is less evil than hillary? do tell. is emailing on a seperate server really that important in the whole grand scheme of things? I am guessing you're not American anyways. You just want to see America fall.

it seems every month we get an submitted article about how 'inclusive' and 'integrated' wechat is. nobody ever remembers that wechat is a result of government/state relationship, (unfair) shutting out of all foreign competition, tech monopoly, and lack of credit card use. Nevermind the downsides of having one app

1.) lack of choices

2.) pricing gouging

3.) monitoring

4.) lack of product innovation

5.) censorship

naturally the big US tech companies would love if the user only used their one single app. but thank god there are choices in the western world.

my last comment didn't get any good response; one wanted a clarification which was easily googleable. the other one about hyperinflation being supply driven made no sense (incorrect definition of hyperinflation), so I didn't bother responding.

how about you? do you have any response about the content, or is it more meta-critique?

It seems the main threat from a Saudi collapse is a takeover from Iran-Russian-Syria coalition. That's a tough one because both Saudi and Russia are hostile to US. But it's doubtful Russia can launch a full-scaled invasion into a soverign country.

Actually, because of brexit, Europe will get rid of pro-China England, and will be able to impose alot of anti-dumping restrictions to China.

This is pretty much a non-event. China's more likely to suffer hyperinflation first, than become a currency that other countries use/store.

1.) Yuan is being printed massively (it hit a credit-to-gdp ratio of 30 to 1 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37403363)

2.) it is a non-fully-convertible currency

3.) there are severe restrictions for yuan to move out of the country due to capital controls. max $50/year. also, $15k/year withdraw restrictions (http://money.cnn.com/2015/09/30/news/china-overseas-atm-cash...)

4.) no one is required to use yuan for trade.

5.) nobody wants yuan outside China. people in China are desperate to exchange yuan for other things inside China. All the conditions are there for hyperinflation to occur. Might happen early next year when europe and China both likely reject China's market economy status, and starts imposing tariff on Chinese imports heavily.

the price increase of silicon valley homes partly is affected by all the foreign capital seeking stable, safe investment in US, particularly China's in the last few years (due to China's exponential growth in debt creation). we should see substantial slowdown/decline in the coming months (because China's economy has stagnated, and because the capital control for most normal citizens have worked)

correct, China is not the top one for stomach cancer. however, it is still at #5 out of all the countries. gutter oil, imitation egg, walnut stuffed with cement, industrial salt sold as table salt, plastic rice, etc, certainly doesn't help

http://www.wcrf.org/int/cancer-facts-figures/data-specific-c...

http://althealthworks.com/7943/top-10-toxic-fake-food-items-...

Incidently, the most common cancer for males in China is lung cancer (21%), followed by stomach cancer (19%). For females, stomach cancer is (12%).

Cancer kills about 7500 each day in China.

And according to WHO, China the hardest hit by global surge in cancer

all propaganda, much like any dictator run projects. if you go to any of them, you'll see run down buildings with barely any startup activities. just street hawkers selling stuff in the front.

this is like the talking points about 7% gdp growth (fake number if you look at how poorly electricity,freight,luxury sales,real estates,stock market are doing), one silk road (no progress), increased trade with Russia (no progress), asian bank (now that they've militarily threatened their neighbors for SCS, pretty sure none of them are up for it)

lots of talking points. let's break them down:

1.) China is negotiating its Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership with all the Asia-Pacific TPP countries -> this is old news. Ever since the South China sea incidents/ruling, China has been acting belligerent towards all its neighbors, and as a consequence, most countries have shied away from China and towards US. thus the THAAD missile deploys in south korea, joint military exercises between Japan, US, Australia, and even closer relationships between Japan and South Korea. Less we forget, China's power is now fundamentally in the hands of one dictator - Xi, who grows closer to another dictator, Putin.

2.) One Belt, One Road project -> also old news. Ever since China's stock market crash, and the world finding out China's heavily indebted, supporting its state enterprises such as banks, steel and coal, it has no power nor finances to go abroad. This project has simply gone nowhere, much like supposed growing trade between China and Russia.

3.) China is now by several important measures the world’s largest economy, with about $4 trillion of reserves -> US is the biggest economy, period. the second biggest is US last year. China has now $3 trillion reserves and falling (and no one knows how much it really has, since it's covering up the capital outflows).

This is the last year where China will be viewed as market economy. After end of this year, they'll face tariffs and barriers to their trade due to the fact that China has not followed most of the requirements to stay in WTO. EU and US have already refused to automatically extend WTO acceptance for China. Watch for Chinese economy collapse after that.

So I can't own or invest in a small internet company in China, yet Australia is protectionist when it wont sell critical infrastructure...

it is simply 'innocent before proven guilty'. a great american ideal.

also, there are proof dugged up by the great american press.

"Handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Mr. Manafort from Mr. Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012"

4.) https://www.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-hacked-emails-of-dnc-op...

In mid-June, Democratic Party suspicions about the hackers seemed to be confirmed when CrowdStrike, an outside security firm retained by the DNC, reported that it traced the hackers to two separate units linked to Russia’s security services: the FSB, Russia’s equivalent of the FBI, and GRU, the country’s military intelligence agency.

5.) Trump explicitly said "russia, if you're listening, i hope you find hillary's emails"

7.) you're ignoring the fact that putin is a dictator that has $200 billion in wealth, and has committed various heinous crimes to his people and to other countries

8.) trump's anti-NATO remark was so bad, republicans ripped up trump for it http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/trump-nato-new-york-ti...

1) Now we know Manafort potentially received a cash payment of more than $12 million. Which, I mean, seeing how good he is at running a campaign is clearly money based on competence!

2) Donald Trump's campaign's ONLY intervention in the entire GOP platform was to remove anti-Putin language from the platform re: Ukraine.

3) Not only that, but just days before the RNC, Carter Paige, one of Trump's foreign policy advisers traveled to Russia and gave a speech attacking America's policies towards Russia, calling America's focus on democratization and fighting inequality "hypocritical."

Trump publically called on Russia to hack on Hillary

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/28/us/politics/donald-trump-r...

So it looks like Trump might have solid ties with Russia, and through some connections might be triggering all the Russian hacking of only the democratic party. Doesn't bode well for American democracy when Russian dictator can sneak in a candidate for president.

- Trump's manager, Paul Manafort, has done multimillion-dollar business deals with pro-Russian oligarchs and was a longtime adviser to the Russia-aligned Ukrainian president whose 2014 ouster triggered Russia’s intervention in Ukraine, a major source of tension between Russia and the United States as well as its NATO allies.

- On the campaign trail, Trump has called for a new partnership with Moscow, overhauling NATO, the allied military force seen as the chief protector of pro-Western nations near Russia

- Since the 1980s, Trump and his family members have made numerous trips to Moscow in search of business opportunities
