Rail is a better idea

Bruce K. Gagnon at Organizing Notes - 18 hours ago
China has the world’s fastest and largest high-speed rail network — more than 19,000 miles, the vast majority of which was built in the past decade.

Perhaps Holland needs to reassert their ownership of the island Taiwan which predates any Chinese interest whatsoever.The ultimate TRUMP for Chinese global ambitions would be for the USA to shift its purchasing power from China to its SE Asian allies and everyone else in SE Asia whose combined population with India ( 650 mil plus 1350 mill) is double that of China. Such a move would also set the stage for placing a major USA base on Taiw... more »

I personally learned as a salesman to mirror the emotions of the people i was approaching. What is that? I also recall simply not liking a col... more »

*“Wild Geese”* "You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
