China is not the US. Yes their workers do live onsite because most are from rural areas. These people can earn 10 times in factories what they could on the land. On say Chinese New Year millions leave the cities to return home to spend time with family. Don’t try and compare apples with pears.
What you have to look at is the financial state of China. It has a 10 trillion dollar economy and rising fast. It’s is now the No1 world economy. It has 4 trillion in reserves. It has a gold reserve second to none.
The 350 million figures has been used by Beijing (unofficially) for a decade and it now claims its 420 million. The Chinese officials don’t like to use the terms middle class or wealthy since they are still theoretically communist, and they don’t admit officially to having billionaires but they do and plenty of them too. Its economy is built on solid ground while the US is on stilts. Just prior to the GFC the US economy was 12 trillion but today it’s 16 trillion. How in heaven can it increased so quickly when you have not recovered from 2008? 80% of US economy is consumerism so it means that all the rest is printed money. One big push and it will falls over.

You need to travel. Go to China and see for yourself. It just might open your eyes to a few things.

I do plan to go to China in the next two years.
But I do have a story, my daughter runs a company that sells specialty products and I was wanting a specific lapel pin to give to some associates, so I gave her a design and wanted to order 400 pins but I needed them quickly as I was leaving on a trip. She phoned the company in China that handles such orders and asked if they could fit the time restraints and the point person replied it was not problem as the workers lived at the factory. That set off many alarms in my head.
By the way they were able to take the design create the molds and make the pins and ship them to me and had them on my door step within 7 days.
That part was impressive but I still wonder about the workers.
But do you dispute what I said? That if there are 300-420 million that you classify as middle class(when I researched it I found that the Chinese do not use that distinction) then that leaves close to a billion that are left in the lower class or poverty level.

I belive in one GOD, and i think th Christianity, muslimanity and orthodoxy are part of different culture... God is one. (Joni)

None of them believes in two or more Gods so you have nobody to conflict with. Besides initially Islam existed as a legal (Nestorian) branch/sect inside the Orthodox Christianity. It lasted since 12 till 16 centuries when the split became big enough to declare of the new religion. None of the Muslim saint books (Quran, Sunnah, Tafsir) contains any dates. So the question is who was to appoint the date of Hijra for 622 ? It was Joseph Scaliger who with zero facts also appointed all the false dates for the Christians in late 16 century. So de-codification of history of religions is a problem but all of them believe in one God the Merciful and the Compassionate ! It is almost ONE culture and even the Muslims are allowed to pray in the Churches if there are no mosques around and if the Christians do not mind it. Besides initially all 100% of the Albanians were Orthodox Christians just because then there were no Muslims or Catholics.



Keep it to yourself.(Please don't)

I will because this is the way I fight the darkness and ignorance ! But if you believe in the BS we are offered you are free to believe. And If you doubt something ask me for details or some proof. It’s up to you.

Of course, when Russia changes behaviour. (icj1)

(Peggy, 26 February 2015 23:25)

Of course. But what does that have anything to do with what I said?! I said "do not support"; I did not say that "China has put sanctions on Russia" !!!

The fact remains that China has said that China supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine. That's obviously not a suprise given that China and the Soviet Union fought a war 46 years ago for territories and China would not want Russia to say at some point in the future that there are Russians being threatened in some part of China, send the Russian soldiers there, organize a "referendum" and annex that part of China. Russia is China's biggest threat because 1. it is erratic and unpredicatble since one man decides everything in Russia and what Russia does depends on his mood when he wakes up in the morning, and 2. Russia is next door whereas the US is far away.
----------

It's what a country does that matters, not what they say. BRICS have not stopped their trading with Russia and they won't.

3/ Scaliger/Petavius history used many tricks for falsification. Not only they played with the dates but also they changed the names. Concerning the Ottomans they mostly used names from Arab sources. So Dmitry Donskoy became Murad-I while his son Vasily became Bayazed-I ect. Strange was the outcome of the battle. They say that the “Serbs” lost the battle but they kept the territory and the “turks” retreated without reparations. Also the behavior of some of the “Serbian” princes looks strange. Some of them fought on the “Serbian” side and there’s no info about some others. All because there were no Turks and Serbs there. It was a inter-Russian battle on both sides and some of the Serbs, Albanians ect. fought on one Russian side and the others fought on the second Russian side.

4/ There are thousands of documents about the Crusaders period and in none of them you will find words like "Muslims" or "Islam" because before 16 century there was no Islam and no Muslims. And in 1389 there was no word "Turk". It appeared for the Golden Horde army that formed the Christian Ottoman (Ataman,Osman) Empire after Tsar-Grad was seized in 1453. Russian Tamerlane’s capital was not in Samarkand but on the Balkans - either in Tirana or Tiraspol that later gave name to the Turks. Many nations received their names after geographical names or names of their military commanders. Russians = Россеяне means dissipated or dispersed all over the land.

My ancestor Teodor Muzaka and his men fought and died in the Battle for Kosovo in 1389.Where was Russia at that time? My ancestor George Castrioti fought against ottomans for 35 years thus saving the West.

1/ I can tell you where the Russians were in 1389. They fought on the Kosovo Pole and they fought on both sides. Even the Wikipedia shows that both sides were composed of the Christians only. At that time there were no Rome and Vatican so all were the Orthodox. This was the 3-rd great battle of the civil war inside the Great Horde. To be exact it was a war between the White Horde of Dmitry (Donskoy) and the Golden Horde of Tamerlane. Greater part on both sides were the Russians including the Serbs , Bulgars , Macedonians ect. But because the Horde always was a multinational power many other peoples took part on both sides with the Caucasians and the Albanians among them.

2/ In two previous battles near Astrakhan and Moscow (Kulikovo Pole) Dmitry took the upper hand. He devastated Tamerlane’s lands along Volga and South of current Russia. But from Kosovo both sides retreated because Dmitry was killed while most likely Tamerlane didn’t mean it. Because it was too far from Veliki Novgorod a Trebizond archbishop made the liturgy. Dmitry Donskoy was the Khan of the whole world while Tamerlane was only the Voivode (Ataman) who seized power in one of the provinces (Golden Horde) of the Great Horde. So he let the power be passed to Dmitry’s son Vasily.

BTW I challenge narrow minded Serbians like Peggy and others to go in Belgrade and visit Kalemegdan and they will see a Muslim grave called turbe,where Albanians such as Damat Ali Pasha and Tepedelenli Selim were killed to protect Serbs for ottoman terror in 1804.
As for KIM it belongs to Albanians because they were its inhabitants before Serbs.
They used to be Christians and now they are mostly Muslim.

I am sorry because it wasn’t your post that I commented. In fact the post was by someone “Joni“ and it changes much. Anyway in your last feedback you put Russia and the USA in one boat. Never do it again because even if boiled together our fat will not be united. They mean the world power while we only seek for justice and peace. Sometimes we have to fight for it and many of the US back vocals will gain much if we succeed. What I agree is that the Balkans is one big boat where you cannot be safe if your neighbor feels discomfort. Only one state is interested in the contradictions to be increased here, but we can do nothing about it. They blow up twnin skyscapers , without a wink they launch wars , they organize massacres and revolts , they buy elites ect. I would give Obama one more Nobel Peace Prize only because he has not started a new war ... yet ! Every US President should automatically have this Nobel Prize on his innaguration and another such Prize in the end of the term if only he kills his temptation to destroy some of the countries. Good Luck and be both a good Albanian and a good Christian !

Russia is the richest state in the world and we are to BETTER use the gifts that the God made us. I know about Enver regime and how it was but there was no guilt of the USSR. The self-isolation was the Albanian choice and you cannot blame Putin who wasn’t even born when it all started.

I feel compassion for any Orthodox Albanian who has to live between his nation and his belief. But you must not seek for further confrontation with your provocative feedbacks. Best if next time before you say something against the Serbs and the Russians you have a good look into the mirror. Ask yourself if you have moral rights for the critics or advice. I have no phobias against the Albanians but I disapprove most things your people do all over the continent. To say nothing of the coward way you seized KIM.

Albanian Orthodox- The Serbs and the Russians have spoken. Therefore you are no longer an Orthodox. Don't worry though they are really devout believers, and as such they know the Serb and Russian Orthodox bible has strict quotas on who can be considered to be Orthodox, based on nationality. You don't know this because we didn't translate that part in our Albanian Orthodox bible. Therefore you are not Orthodox. Sorry to inform you of this. Now do as they say or they will hate it if you say you are Orthodox and Albanian.

You do realize that 300-420 million middle class in China means close to 1 billion are left in poverty don't you? That is 3/4 of the population, what are the figures you boast for the US that live at or below the poverty level, 100 million which would be between 25-30% of the people.

Serbia has pre-pedjudice in favour of Russia.

With a mentality geared towards the orthodox church etc. this is not surprising.

However, Serbia was a sucker for the Milosevic propaganda and is now something of a sucker for Putin's.

Comm. Parrisson,
Your problem is that you see things in black and white technology. Wake up, man. Color TV has been around for a long time now. Putin might be Comical Ali, but not a single word coming out of the mouths of Kerry and other western clowns can be taken seriously. It's amazing how you can't see that!
Same goes for Milosevic. He created the mess, but shouldn't you mention some other former Yugoslavian leaders too? Not to mention great mess-creating assistance from the West...

He also told the subcommittee it was Russia that "engaged in a rather remarkable period of the most overt and extensive propaganda exercise that I've seen since the very height of the Cold War."

Yes, it's a problem, but only some simple minds believe that propaganda and takes the RT TV 'reports' seriously. For me Putin becomes more and more a Comical Ali, remember this guy from Iraq?

I think it's primarily for domestic consumption, it's the good old method: When incompetent state leaders have internal problems, they start trouble outside to draw attention away - nothing can (forcefully) unite a population more than a common enemy. And everyone who not agrees with Putin and his nationalist, autocratic, expansionist and revanchist politics is a 'traitor' or 'enemy of the state'. Worked under Milosevic, too, until the Serbs realized the mess he crated (some still don't nowaday, unfortunately)

None of the states that had joined EU started to live better including Greece. EU attracts new members not to make their lives better but to rob them and every newcomer receives terms worse than the previous one. This is why after 20 years all 3 Baltic Nazi states still live in poverty and same is with Bulgaria or Romania. For political reasons Czechoslovakia , Hungary and Poland received more or less good membership terms but in the end they lost 20% of their youth cleaning the English toilets now.

What I really liked in your post was that you ALBANIAN and very likely a CATHOLIC dared to speak with the Orthodox Serbs and the Russians on behalf of Europe !

Talking of propganda, the British Priminister himself says:


“I think we need to do more, frankly, in the area of information. One of the complaints we get from the Baltic states is there is nothing to counter the deluge of Russian-paid and backed media spreading disinformation,” he said.

“We have got to recognise one of the strengths we have got as a country – although we don’t always necessarily see it this way – is that we have a very strong and impartial media, we have a wonderful brand in the BBC, known for its impartial views. We should be supporting the BBC to provide news services and news channels where people otherwise are getting a diet of Russian disinformation.” …

BTW I challenge narrow minded Serbians like Peggy and others to go in Belgrade and visit Kalemegdan and they will see a Muslim grave called turbe,where Albanians such as Damat Ali Pasha and Tepedelenli Selim were killed to protect Serbs for ottoman terror in 1804.
As for KIM it belongs to Albanians because they were its inhabitants before Serbs.
They used to be Christians and now they are mostly Muslim.

1/ Financial year starts on March 1 so the last official GDP figures availiable are for perion of 01.03.13 – 01.03.14. In this period Russian per capita GDP was USD 24 298. It was N46 per capita GDP in the world. So I have to tell you in Russian – НЕ НАДО ЗДЕСЬ ПИЗДЕТЬ !

2/ Why did you stop the listing on the Russia and China ? What about the small Albania and KIM ? Don't be shy ! In the same period of 01.03.13 – 01.03.14. per capita GDP of Albania was USD 8 000 ( N115) while in KIM it must be ever worse as tens of thousands of the desperate people abandon this beautiful land. Serbia gives no figures about this temporarily occupied province so please help us with the GDPs of the two Albanian enclaves mentioned.

Sometimes we have to fight for it and many of the US back vocals will gain much if we succeed. What I agree is that the Balkans is one big boat where you cannot be safe if your neighbor feels discomfort. Only one state is interested in the contradictions to be increased here, but we can do nothing about it. They blow up twnin skyscapers , without a wink they launch wars , they organize massacres and revolts , they buy elites ect. I would give Obama one more Nobel Peace Prize only because he has not started a new war ... yet !

My ancestor Teodor Muzaka and his men fought and died in the Battle for Kosovo in 1389.Where was Russia at that time? My ancestor George Castrioti fought against ottomans for 35 years thus saving the West.

1/ I can tell you where the Russians were in 1389. They fought on the Kosovo Pole and they fought on both sides. Even the Wikipedia shows that both sides were composed of the Christians only. At that time there were no Rome and Vatican so all were the Orthodox. This was the 3-rd great battle of the civil war inside the Great Horde. To be exact it was a war between the White Horde of Dmitry (Donskoy) and the Golden Horde of Tamerlane. Greater part on both sides were the Russians including the Serbs , Bulgars , Macedonians ect. But because the Horde always was a multinational power many other peoples took part on both sides with the Caucasians and the Albanians among them.

2/ In two previous battles near Astrakhan and Moscow (Kulikovo Pole) Dmitry took the upper hand. He devastated Tamerlane’s lands along Volga and South of current Russia. But from Kosovo both sides retreated because Dmitry was killed while most likely Tamerlane didn’t mean it. Because it was too far from Veliki Novgorod a Trebizond archbishop made the liturgy. Dmitry Donskoy was the Khan of the whole world while Tamerlane was only the Voivode (Ataman) who seized power in one of the provinces (Golden Horde) of the Great Horde. So he let the power be passed to Dmitry’s son Vasily.

3/ tomorrow.

3/ Scaliger/Petavius history used many tricks for falsification. Not only they played with the dates but also they changed the names. Concerning the Ottomans they mostly used names from Arab sources. So Dmitry Donskoy became Murad-I while his son Vasily became Bayazed-I ect. Strange was the outcome of the battle. They say that the “Serbs” lost the battle but they kept the territory and the “turks” retreated without reparations. Also the behavior of some of the “Serbian” princes looks strange. Some of them fought on the “Serbian” side and there’s no info about some others. All because there were no Turks and Serbs there. It was a inter-Russian battle on both sides and some of the Serbs, Albanians ect. fought on one Russian side and the others fought on the second Russian side.

4/ There are thousands of documents about the Crusaders period and in none of them you will find words like "Muslims" or "Islam" because before 16 century there was no Islam and no Muslims. And in 1389 there was no word "Turk". It appeared for the Golden Horde army that formed the Christian Ottoman (Ataman,Osman) Empire after Tsar-Grad was seized in 1453. Russian Tamerlane’s capital was not in Samarkand but on the Balkans - either in Tirana or Tiraspol that later gave name to the Turks. Many nations received their names after geographical names or names of their military commanders. Russians = Россеяне means dissipated or dispersed all over the land.

I belive in one GOD, and i think th Christianity, muslimanity and orthodoxy are part of different culture... God is one. (Joni)

None of them believes in two or more Gods so you have nobody to conflict with. Besides initially Islam existed as a legal (Nestorian) branch/sect inside the Orthodox Christianity. It lasted since 12 till 16 centuries when the split became big enough to declare of the new religion. None of the Muslim saint books (Quran, Sunnah, Tafsir) contains any dates. So the question is who was to appoint the date of Hijra for 622 ? It was Joseph Scaliger who with zero facts also appointed all the false dates for the Christians in late 16 century. So de-codification of history of religions is a problem but all of them believe in one God the Merciful and the Compassionate ! It is almost ONE culture and even the Muslims are allowed to pray in the Churches if there are no mosques around and if the Christians do not mind it. Besides initially all 100% of the Albanians were Orthodox Christians just because then there were no Muslims or Catholics.



Keep it to yourself.(Please don't)

I will because this is the way I fight the darkness and ignorance ! But if you believe in the BS we are offered you are free to believe. And If you doubt something ask me for details or some proof. It’s up to you.

You do realize that 300-420 million middle class in China means close to 1 billion are left in poverty don't you? That is 3/4 of the population, what are the figures you boast for the US that live at or below the poverty level, 100 million which would be between 25-30% of the people.

The fact remains that China has said that China supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine. That's obviously not a suprise given that China and the Soviet Union fought a war 46 years ago for territories and China would not want Russia to say at some point in the future that there are Russians being threatened in some part of China, send the Russian soldiers there, organize a "referendum" and annex that part of China. Russia is China's biggest threat because 1. it is erratic and unpredicatble since one man decides everything in Russia and what Russia does depends on his mood when he wakes up in the morning, and 2. Russia is next door whereas the US is far away.

I do plan to go to China in the next two years.
But I do have a story, my daughter runs a company that sells specialty products and I was wanting a specific lapel pin to give to some associates, so I gave her a design and wanted to order 400 pins but I needed them quickly as I was leaving on a trip. She phoned the company in China that handles such orders and asked if they could fit the time restraints and the point person replied it was not problem as the workers lived at the factory. That set off many alarms in my head.
By the way they were able to take the design create the molds and make the pins and ship them to me and had them on my door step within 7 days.
That part was impressive but I still wonder about the workers.
But do you dispute what I said? That if there are 300-420 million that you classify as middle class(when I researched it I found that the Chinese do not use that distinction) then that leaves close to a billion that are left in the lower class or poverty level.

China is not the US. Yes their workers do live onsite because most are from rural areas. These people can earn 10 times in factories what they could on the land. On say Chinese New Year millions leave the cities to return home to spend time with family. Don’t try and compare apples with pears.
What you have to look at is the financial state of China. It has a 10 trillion dollar economy and rising fast. It’s is now the No1 world economy. It has 4 trillion in reserves. It has a gold reserve second to none.
The 350 million figures has been used by Beijing (unofficially) for a decade and it now claims its 420 million. The Chinese officials don’t like to use the terms middle class or wealthy since they are still theoretically communist, and they don’t admit officially to having billionaires but they do and plenty of them too. Its economy is built on solid ground while the US is on stilts. Just prior to the GFC the US economy was 12 trillion but today it’s 16 trillion. How in heaven can it increased so quickly when you have not recovered from 2008? 80% of US economy is consumerism so it means that all the rest is printed money. One big push and it will falls over.

Serbia has pre-pedjudice in favour of Russia.

With a mentality geared towards the orthodox church etc. this is not surprising.

However, Serbia was a sucker for the Milosevic propaganda and is now something of a sucker for Putin's.

Comm. Parrisson

He also told the subcommittee it was Russia that "engaged in a rather remarkable period of the most overt and extensive propaganda exercise that I've seen since the very height of the Cold War."

Yes, it's a problem, but only some simple minds believe that propaganda and takes the RT TV 'reports' seriously. For me Putin becomes more and more a Comical Ali, remember this guy from Iraq?

I think it's primarily for domestic consumption, it's the good old method: When incompetent state leaders have internal problems, they start trouble outside to draw attention away - nothing can (forcefully) unite a population more than a common enemy. And everyone who not agrees with Putin and his nationalist, autocratic, expansionist and revanchist politics is a 'traitor' or 'enemy of the state'. Worked under Milosevic, too, until the Serbs realized the mess he crated (some still don't nowaday, unfortunately)

“I think we need to do more, frankly, in the area of information. One of the complaints we get from the Baltic states is there is nothing to counter the deluge of Russian-paid and backed media spreading disinformation,” he said.

“We have got to recognise one of the strengths we have got as a country – although we don’t always necessarily see it this way – is that we have a very strong and impartial media, we have a wonderful brand in the BBC, known for its impartial views. We should be supporting the BBC to provide news services and news channels where people otherwise are getting a diet of Russian disinformation.” …

1/ I can tell you where the Russians were in 1389. They fought on the Kosovo Pole and they fought on both sides. Even the Wikipedia shows that both sides were composed of the Christians only. At that time there were no Rome and Vatican so all were the Orthodox. This was the 3-rd great battle of the civil war inside the Great Horde. To be exact it was a war between the White Horde of Dmitry (Donskoy) and the Golden Horde of Tamerlane. Greater part on both sides were the Russians including the Serbs , Bulgars , Macedonians ect. But because the Horde always was a multinational power many other peoples took part on both sides with the Caucasians and the Albanians among them.

2/ In two previous battles near Astrakhan and Moscow (Kulikovo Pole) Dmitry took the upper hand. He devastated Tamerlane’s lands along Volga and South of current Russia. But from Kosovo both sides retreated because Dmitry was killed while most likely Tamerlane didn’t mean it. Because it was too far from Veliki Novgorod a Trebizond archbishop made the liturgy. Dmitry Donskoy was the Khan of the whole world while Tamerlane was only the Voivode (Ataman) who seized power in one of the provinces (Golden Horde) of the Great Horde. So he let the power be passed to Dmitry’s son Vasily.

None of them believes in two or more Gods so you have nobody to conflict with. Besides initially Islam existed as a legal (Nestorian) branch/sect inside the Orthodox Christianity. It lasted since 12 till 16 centuries when the split became big enough to declare of the new religion. None of the Muslim saint books (Quran, Sunnah, Tafsir) contains any dates. So the question is who was to appoint the date of Hijra for 622 ? It was Joseph Scaliger who with zero facts also appointed all the false dates for the Christians in late 16 century. So de-codification of history of religions is a problem but all of them believe in one God the Merciful and the Compassionate ! It is almost ONE culture and even the Muslims are allowed to pray in the Churches if there are no mosques around and if the Christians do not mind it. Besides initially all 100% of the Albanians were Orthodox Christians just because then there were no Muslims or Catholics.

I feel compassion for any Orthodox Albanian who has to live between his nation and his belief. But you must not seek for further confrontation with your provocative feedbacks. Best if next time before you say something against the Serbs and the Russians you have a good look into the mirror. Ask yourself if you have moral rights for the critics or advice. I have no phobias against the Albanians but I disapprove most things your people do all over the continent. To say nothing of the coward way you seized KIM.

I think you even don't understand the meaning of what i have talked about....
I don't blame nobody, for what the communist regime have done to us, i'm talking for the years after...
My dear "Balkans" Albania and Serbia are in the same "boat"...
Russia and US are in another one, and their boat does not sink easily...
Them both need wars...
And that scare to me to much...
KIM - ??? What is this???

I am sorry because it wasn’t your post that I commented. In fact the post was by someone “Joni“ and it changes much. Anyway in your last feedback you put Russia and the USA in one boat. Never do it again because even if boiled together our fat will not be united. They mean the world power while we only seek for justice and peace. Sometimes we have to fight for it and many of the US back vocals will gain much if we succeed. What I agree is that the Balkans is one big boat where you cannot be safe if your neighbor feels discomfort. Only one state is interested in the contradictions to be increased here, but we can do nothing about it. They blow up twnin skyscapers , without a wink they launch wars , they organize massacres and revolts , they buy elites ect. I would give Obama one more Nobel Peace Prize only because he has not started a new war ... yet ! Every US President should automatically have this Nobel Prize on his innaguration and another such Prize in the end of the term if only he kills his temptation to destroy some of the countries. Good Luck and be both a good Albanian and a good Christian !

3/ Scaliger/Petavius history used many tricks for falsification. Not only they played with the dates but also they changed the names. Concerning the Ottomans they mostly used names from Arab sources. So Dmitry Donskoy became Murad-I while his son Vasily became Bayazed-I ect. Strange was the outcome of the battle. They say that the “Serbs” lost the battle but they kept the territory and the “turks” retreated without reparations. Also the behavior of some of the “Serbian” princes looks strange. Some of them fought on the “Serbian” side and there’s no info about some others. All because there were no Turks and Serbs there. It was a inter-Russian battle on both sides and some of the Serbs, Albanians ect. fought on one Russian side and the others fought on the second Russian side.

4/ There are thousands of documents about the Crusaders period and in none of them you will find words like "Muslims" or "Islam" because before 16 century there was no Islam and no Muslims. And in 1389 there was no word "Turk". It appeared for the Golden Horde army that formed the Christian Ottoman (Ataman,Osman) Empire after Tsar-Grad was seized in 1453. Russian Tamerlane’s capital was not in Samarkand but on the Balkans - either in Tirana or Tiraspol that later gave name to the Turks. Many nations received their names after geographical names or names of their military commanders. Russians = Россеяне means dissipated or dispersed all over the land.

5/ wait !

You need to travel. Go to China and see for yourself. It just might open your eyes to a few things.
By the way the apartments in Japan are not much bigger and look where that country sits in the economic pecking order.

Sorry

"None of the states that had joined EU started to live better including Greece. EU attracts new members not to make their lives better but to rob them and every newcomer receives terms worse than the previous one"

Apparently people that are paid to know disagree with you.

“Greece's income per capita is 22 thousand $ per capita.
Estonia's GDP per capita is 20 thousand $
Poland's GDP per capita is 16 thousands $.
Rusia's GDP per capita is 12 thousand and China's is 10 thousands.“


1/ Financial year starts on March 1 so the last official GDP figures availiable are for perion of 01.03.13 – 01.03.14. In this period Russian per capita GDP was USD 24 298. It was N46 per capita GDP in the world. So I have to tell you in Russian – НЕ НАДО ЗДЕСЬ ПИЗДЕТЬ !

2/ Why did you stop the listing on the Russia and China ? What about the small Albania and KIM ? Don't be shy ! In the same period of 01.03.13 – 01.03.14. per capita GDP of Albania was USD 8 000 ( N115) while in KIM it must be ever worse as tens of thousands of the desperate people abandon this beautiful land. Serbia gives no figures about this temporarily occupied province so please help us with the GDPs of the two Albanian enclaves mentioned. In the end don’t forget to explain the catastrophic situation with Putin’s insinuations and undermines.

I do plan to go to China in the next two years.
But I do have a story, my daughter runs a company that sells specialty products and I was wanting a specific lapel pin to give to some associates, so I gave her a design and wanted to order 400 pins but I needed them quickly as I was leaving on a trip. She phoned the company in China that handles such orders and asked if they could fit the time restraints and the point person replied it was not problem as the workers lived at the factory. That set off many alarms in my head.
By the way they were able to take the design create the molds and make the pins and ship them to me and had them on my door step within 7 days.
That part was impressive but I still wonder about the workers.
But do you dispute what I said? That if there are 300-420 million that you classify as middle class(when I researched it I found that the Chinese do not use that distinction) then that leaves close to a billion that are left in the lower class or poverty level.

China is not the US. Yes their workers do live onsite because most are from rural areas. These people can earn 10 times in factories what they could on the land. On say Chinese New Year millions leave the cities to return home to spend time with family. Don’t try and compare apples with pears.
What you have to look at is the financial state of China. It has a 10 trillion dollar economy and rising fast. It’s is now the No1 world economy. It has 4 trillion in reserves. It has a gold reserve second to none.
The 350 million figures has been used by Beijing (unofficially) for a decade and it now claims its 420 million. The Chinese officials don’t like to use the terms middle class or wealthy since they are still theoretically communist, and they don’t admit officially to having billionaires but they do and plenty of them too. Its economy is built on solid ground while the US is on stilts. Just prior to the GFC the US economy was 12 trillion but today it’s 16 trillion. How in heaven can it increased so quickly when you have not recovered from 2008? 80% of US economy is consumerism so it means that all the rest is printed money. One big push and it will falls over.
