Tell that to the POOR Chinese people, the majority of your population. Do you think they will agree with you? lol

Americans can safely say, "American way of living is still much much much much better than Chinese people living in impoverish villages.

America is a FIRST WORLD COUNTRY meaning everything here is modern. WE DON'T HAVE VILLAGES HERE! We don't get our water from the RIVER directly, and we don't hunt for food, we buy from the grocery stores lol just to say a few.

How bout in China? have you seen their barbaric way of living?

Please don't ignore the fact that most CHINESE people are SO POOR!

And please don't even dare to compare Americans with your POOR Chinese people.

America is still the GREATEST NATION ON EARTH no matter what you say!

People around the world would die for a US VISA/ Residency Approval

Time to humiliate the Chinese once more in the Olympics

“The Olympics is a competition between athletes, not nations,” USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said.

Tell that to the China’s ruling party. We Americans can go overboard with our flag-waving, but we don’t need Olympic glory to legitimize our way of life.

Like the old U.S.S.R, China sees the Olympics as a way to prove its ideological superiority. London has shown the ugly side of that all-consuming drive.

Wu Minxia might have been the saddest story of the Olympics. After she won a diving gold medal, she was told that her mother had breast cancer and her grandparents had died a year ago.

They didn’t want to tell her before London. It might have distracted her from her patriotic duty.

“We accepted a long time ago that she doesn’t belong entirely to us,” her father told the Shanghai Morning Post.

In China, children belong to the state if they show athletic promise. The system is based on the old Eastern bloc template.

Promising kids are funneled into athletic schools according to their body types. They are taught reading and writing. But mostly they learn gymnastics, badminton, swimming and diving. Their purpose in life is to prove China is a world superpower.

“From a very young age, we had patriotism drummed into us,” one ex-athlete told the BBC.

Patriotism is one thing. The Chinese Communist Party promotes ultra-nationalism. Anything less than victory is an affront to the authoritarian state.

Americans go nutty with the “USA!” chants. But nobody was going to send Missy Franklin hate mails with razorblades if she didn’t win the 200-meter backstroke. That’s what a Chinese gymnast got when he returned home without a medal after the 1988 Olympics.

Gabby Douglas moved to Iowa at 14 to live and train for the Olympics. That was her choice, however, not the USOC’s. And nobody kept family secrets from her for the past two years.

The Chinese system gets results, but there’s a price. The BBC reported that of 300,000 ex-athletes, 80 percent were unemployed, injured or living in poverty.

The report showed the athletic training camps, which were more like Marine boot camps for 10-year-olds. British media ran photos of children forced to do handstands until they collapsed in tears. An instructor stepped on one child’s legs to increase gymnastic flexibility.

They were not the images China wants the world to see. Before the games, the Chinese Communist Party sent a directive to state-controlled media.

“Do not raise the issue of the ‘national system,’” it said.

The name of the system is Project 119. It started in 2001 and got its name from the number of gold medals available in swimming, track and field and rowing.

Those were sports with the greatest Chinese growth potential. Project 119 helped produce 51 gold medals in Beijing, which was 15 more than the U.S. America won the overall medal count 110-100.

A lot of people thought China might win both in London. Instead, it has taken a step back. That’s fine by me, but I feel bad for the generation of Wu Minxias.

If Project 119 was rough, what will Project 120 be like?

“If we win a few less gold medals, ordinary people could abuse us,” said Xiao Tian, the head of China’s team.

It would be great if ordinary Chinese really did hear about the past two weeks in England. Not just about what happened, also the stories behind it.

China’s rulers wanted to prove their system is stronger than America’s. What London really showed was how weak it is.

The Philippines recently sent a warship to harass 12 Chinese fishing vessels which sailed into the waters of Huangyan Island to shelter from bad weather.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said at a regular news conference on Friday that Huangyan Island is an inherent part of Chinese territory. The harassment to the Chinese fishing vessels had infringed China's sovereignty and violated a consensus reached by the two countries to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. China has adequate legal foundation of its sovereignty over Huangyan Island.

Following are some basic facts on China's sovereignty over Huangyan Island:

1. It is China that first discovered Huangyan Island, gave it the name, incorporated it into its territory, and exercised jurisdiction over it.

In 1279, Chinese astronomer Guo Shoujing conducted a survey of the seas around China under the commission from his emperor Kublai Khan, and the Huangyan Island was chosen as the point for surveying the South China Sea. This explains that Huangyan Island was discovered by Chinese at least in Yuan Dynasty(1271-1368).

In January 1935, a map verification committee of then Chinese government, which consisted of representatives from ministries and departments of internal affairs, foreign affairs, education and navy, declared sovereignty over 132 islands, reefs and shoals. Huangyan Island, with the name of Scarborough Shoal, was included as a part of Zhongsha Islands into Chinese territory.

In October 1947, Chinese government announced the new namelist of South China Sea islands, in which Scarborough Shoal was included and renamed to Democratic Reef as a part of Zhongsha Islands. In 1983, China's board on geographic names released a list of geographic names of some South China Sea islands, which decided to use Huangyan Island as the standard name of the island and Democratic Reef as an alternative name.

All the official maps published by Chinese governments of different historical periods marked Huangyan Island as Chinese territory. Huangyan Island has been consistently under administration of China's Guangdong Province first and Hainan Province later. China's sovereignty over Huangyan Island has been declared in all government announcements and statements on South China Sea

2. China has long been developing and exploiting Huangyan Island.

Huangyan Island and its surrounding waters are traditional fisheries for Chinese fishermen. Since ancient times, Chinese fishermen have been fishing around Huangyan Island. Many scientific expeditions organized by China's State Bureau of Surveying, National Earthquake Bureau and National Bureau of Oceanography have been held in the island and its surrounding waters.

3. Some comments on the Philippines' claim

The composition and scope of the Philippine territory are set by a series of international treaties, none of which involves Huangyan Island or includes the island into the Philippine territorial land.

The Treaty of Paris (1898), The Treaty of Washington (1900) and the Treaty between Great Britain and the United States (1930) state clearly that the west limit of the Philippine territory is 118 degrees east longitude, while Huangyan Island -- with coordinates 15 degrees and 8 minutes to 15 degrees and 14 minutes north latitude, 117 degrees and 44 minutes to 117 degrees and 48 minutes east longitude -- is obviously outside this limit.

The 1935 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, the 1946 Treaty of General Relations between the United States of America and the Republic of the Philippines, the 1952 U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, the 1961 Republic Act No.3046 and the 1968 Republic Act No.5446 have reaffirmed the legal effects of the above-mentioned three treaties and once again expressively defined the Philippine territorial limits, the baseline points and baseline of the territorial waters, which had not included Huangyan Island.
The Philippine maps published in 1981 and 1984, just to name a few, also indicated that Huangyan Island is outside the Philippine territorial limits. The above facts fully prove that Huangyan Island is outside the scope of Philippine territory.

Until 1997, the Philippines had never put dispute on China's jurisdiction and development on Huangyan Island, while it repeatedly stated that Huangyan Island was outside the Philippine territory. Then Philippine ambassador to Germany indicated clearly in his letter to a German radio amateur on February 5, 1990 that, Huangyan Island was not within the Philippine territory and sovereignty according to the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of the Philippines.

The documents issued by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of the Philippines and the Philippine amateur radio organization to the American Radio Relay League on October 18 and November 18, 1994 had also confirmed respectively that the Philippine territorial limits and sovereignty was stipulated by the Article 3 of the Treaty of Paris (1889) and Huangyan Island is outside of the Philippine territory boundaries.

"The land dominates the sea" is a basic principle of the international law of sea. The United Nations Convention on the Law Of the Sea (UNCLOS) allows coastal states to claim a 200-nautical-mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), but coastal states have no rights to undermine the inherent territory and sovereignty of other countries. It is a violation of the principles of international laws, including that of the UNCLOS, to change the ownership of the territorial sovereignty through the UNCLOS.

You are making a fairy tale about me.
Go on, flap your useless mouth. A person like you who thinks logical analysis is counting is too stupid to engage with an intelligent discussion with me anyways.
Talk all you want Chink.. but even if your parents, parents were born in the Philippines... its is easy to tell you are Filipino Chinese...

because your parents still speak Chinese...still have Chinese practices like Chinese new Year....

and still have contact with relatives and business dealing in China

maybe you can go on the computer while they break down your doors and show them your support for the Philippines...

but it wont stop them from taking your money... and raping your Chink sisters and killing your Chink Parents...

knowing what kind of weasel ape wannabee you have turned out to be.... you would probably tape the whole thing...

If you really want to be like these apes...

Filipino way is to open up your house

problem is everyone of us is aware China is still a developing country and it still has lots of problems it has to overcome...

but at least we are aware and address those issues...

you Filipino pride trash... are trying to pretend everything is perfect in the Philippines...(when anyone who disagrees all they need to do is buy a $800 to $1200 return ticket to the Philippines)

and your buying 2 ships will be enough to fight the Chinese...

and that the world will come save your beggar nation in border dispute...

I heard some one post to you in the Philippines forum... that you had not been back to the Philippines in 30 years????

is that really true... I met a lot of Filipinos who have returned to the Philippines and then decided to leave...because of the family begging...

did you really buy a house in the Philippines and are you going to be living near your family...

because I can tell that you wont be living there within 3 years of moving over and living there for good...
