Can you imagine if the Dems narrowly won the House? They would have lost their majority simply by virtue of older members dying. What's so controversial about electing younger members?

While some products like cars and mattresses are still made in the US, China basically makes most consumer goods we buy in the US, including kitchen appliances, electronics, and personal care items. Things are gonna suck because of Trump's stupid tariffs.

1) China starts manufacturing something way better and cheaper than US 2) US politicians figure it out 10 years later and call it unfair 3) slap a bunch of fees and tariffs on it 4) it's too late The US will price themselves out of the global economy at this point

We have massive Financial Deficits with Xiongnu, Goguryeo, and many others. The only way this problem can be cured it with TRIBUTE MISSIONS, which are now bringing Ten of Billions of Cash-Coins into QIN. They are already in effect, and a beautiful thing to behold...

This is insane. All our Chinese citizen colleagues in Florida are apparently at risk of losing their jobs solely on the basis of their nationality

Passed by this random village and saw a shrine with a large stele. Decided to check it out on map and saw it's called 葛王存. Googled 葛王 and realized it was a Jurchen Jin nobility title. Really makes you wonder about the history of this village.

Chinese village names are so interesting and can tell you a lot of things. It's clear this village was once a Ming weisuo installation, with a commander surnamed Han in charge. The village is named after the military camp.
