    According to the report I saw, most of these illegal street workers were pimped out either by yakuzas or lonely girls who frequented male host bars but can't payback their debts, and so the host pimped them out to repay those debts but often the interests on the debt will keep increasing to keep them paying a non-existing debt.

    That's horrible. Sex slavery. Surely the government or a hidden Aid Agency doesn't offer aid and support to these women? Hard to believe isn't it?

    In Malaysia and Singapore there's a Sharia court that applies only to those registered as Muslims. Every Malaysian and Singaporean citizen is required to register their religion and ethnicity. In Brunei, Sharia law is applicable to everyone regardless of religion. You can go to jail for posession of alcohol or disrespecting Islam in Brunei. And ironically Bruneians will travel overseas to do the things they can't do in their own countries.

    Try googling the Brunei Sultan. His scandals are crazy but no one can say anything about him in his own country - he's both the King and PM.

    Unfortunately I don't think Japan has enough NGOs that care enough about all this issues. Everyone turns a blind eye on things and police can only act with sufficient evidence.

    You know immediately you have won the debate and your opponent cant win when they accuse you of listening to the media. Most commonly Murdoch is blamed, but Sky is a variant of the excuse of debating the issue

    That's the news about the corporate/economic espionage:

    "Brother your viewpoint is definitely valid. You are able to think independently. Your viewpoint is not based on the opinion of media source XYZ"

    The woman selling US secrets got 14 years jail. It's treason and should be a life sentence

    The Thousand Talents espionage program was one of hundreds of reasons that the US has decoupled from this country. 100% rational business decision.

    Does the US need a 'The Thousand Talents espionage program'?. It doesn't because it attracts a huge amount of the worlds investment money. US encourages and cherishes its big business owners such as the big tech owner of Amazon, Jeff Bezos

    If that country had transformed into a democratic system it could have had the US as a solid partner and with a conventional government structure and opposition, would not have made so many wrong economic decisions including the one child policy. But with no history of democracy and not able to trust the leap, it's destiny is now sealed. It will return to warlords governing the main provinces within half a century, particularly in the north

    Back to punting, the numbers of young Chinese even available for immigration may be minimal in theong term, well after we are gone

    The China population may halve based on the current evidence

    In China they're also facing issues with low birthrates due to families not knowing how to make money through hard work. Many got rich by government buying their land by force and handing them wads of cash. When they use up the money they've got no income to replenish. Only the smart ones knew how to invest whereas others like government servants relied on corruption.

    Many young guys are taught by their families that the only way to success and finding a girlfriend is to be nonsensically rich. They don't believe in romance or wooing the opposite sex. The women are also taught that they need to find the richest man and do all they can to secure that person as a husband regardless of age gap. And this is why scams coming from China are getting rampant - people are chasing "success" based on who gets rich the quickest.

    If they want any hopes of getting their birth rates up they need to stop such mentalities towards money and success, because it's becoming a situation where even the ugliest girl in the country only wants to marry the richest man in China. I'm not pushing any red pill ideology here but that's what is happening basically these days. And the young Chinese girls coming here aspiring to be WLs should really retune their heads to accept the reality that not all Aussies are rich and willing to throw money onto mediocre services.

    We haven't even mentioned the gender disparity yet in those of reproductive age. Unless as a baby you were male, let's sensitively say there are more young men than young women over there. Has big implications for creating smaller subsequent generations

    And implications for punting, less women available in the population to travel overseas

    One child policy. Brilliant idea indeed

    Do not impose strict demographic laws unless your record keeping of your population is reliable and accurate ! And don't dispose of your bureaucrats if they deliver bad news about birthrates !

    You have to act on bad news, not sit on it

At that time Uyghurs were mostly East Asian but the modern Uyghur is an admixture of East Asian Uyghur and Persian.
    And 97 percent bullshit.

    China is male dominated. Some females may be "ejected" through abortion back in the days. They view daughters as a waste of human life, however these days they'll accept a daughter if she can be groomed to marry a rich husband in the future. Nothing is without purpose in a Chinese household mentality - everything is basically an "investment".

    I won't be surprised if these girls tell their parents they're working as WLs overseas - the parent's response would be "How many customers you get each day, and how much you charge per hour?".

    Actually, bullshit can't grow to become an embryo. It needs both sperm and egg. Isn't that why you're on a punting forum? To learn why you're still not satisfied after releasing billions of sperm since puberty?

    There's only one religion over there, as you suggest

    One religion for the ethnic communists. For the minorities we have many other religions - free to choose.

    That's it. You do know that communists weren't supposed to believe in religions? Except in North Korea where the Kim family is god. Small g not capital.

    If Nigeria had discovered Australia, I can promise you Australia today would resemble Mad Max, Fury Road. I'm serious

    As such, half of all healthcare are in Africa has to be provided by church organisations as the governments are all broke
    I agree with you frisson.

    Although having taken such a massive pieces of land (in Australia and North America), along with the slave trade and centuries of abuse in colonial outposts in India, Africa and Asia has really given Wastern nations a substantial leg up over any other power.
    Had the West acted the way the say they have acted - via rule of law, free speech, free trade and non aggression -purely through good governance and work ethic this advantage would be a lot smaller.


    Say there's two families A and B - both similar levels of assets.
    Father A raids and the house of B and takes most of the wealth.
    This wealth is then invested wisely in investments and education. Son A goes to elite an school and graduates top of his class at Oxford. Son A donates to charitable causes.
    Father B drinks to his demise after most of his wealth is taken.
    Son B struggles to make ends meet - uneducated and unemployed.

    We, as a culture, tend to focus a lot more on the success of Son A, attributing the success of Family A on the son's work ethic and education etc.
    Rather, methinks most of the success is driven by the dirty work of Father A.

    Just here to give a different point of view.

    Once a country slides into poverty its very hard to overcome it. Just look at Argentina.
    The way China managed to bootstrap itself out of poverty without violence is very respectable. Few other countries have managed. Taiwan of course being another.

    I returned to Australia a while back after 30 years mostly OS. Australia is simply one of the very best punting spots on the planet. We have WL's and ML's of every variety to meet every-ones hopes. Sure there are occasional irritations, but don't get bitter, just move on to the next prospect. While seeing a new lady on Monday I reminded myself that 2024 is my 40th year of punting and it's great.

    For 2024 I predict that by years end, unemployment will tick up a bit which will bring more local talent into the market. Not top talent perhaps, but enough new girls will take a little of the sting for financially challenged punters.
