The supposed gift to its neighbor is a perfect example of China's economic strategy of taking on short-term expenses for the sake of long-term benefits.- Der Spiegel |
The Karakoram Highway was built between 1966 and 1978 as a gift from China to Pakistan.

We've been spending our money on an enormous military for a long time. And now, it is not only still enormous, it is funded entirely by debt.

All but a tiny % of this nation are blithering idiots.
