It's even more funnier a Brit is teaching me how bad is China since UK literally went on pillage and claim lands for themselves. Anyway u shouldn't waste time on me since i'm don't even live in China, i'm just giving my personal views about what i saw and live though the years.

Since u focused China-India territory conflit, i presume ur an Indian right?

what makes you think I'm a Brit? because I'm in the UK ? , maybe I'm Filipino ?

A wild guess your Chinese ? funny you mention nothing about the Hague judgement or the Chinese 9 dash line, care to defend CCPs actions ?

THAT ''Sea law'' to stablishes how much jurisdiction one country allowed extend its own rights to the water from lands, and it was vote by UN in 80s, I don't recall the exact year. But back at age of 80s UN was basically commanded by the most ''powerful'' nation and its western fellows, it's not very ''democratic'' that western countries had to make decisions for whole rest of world. and the entire law is very questionable.

If you don't admit ur indian, then i presume ur a hongkonger. :) then it explain a lot of things, including ur Union jack under ur avatar.

like what i said i don't wish to go off topic, if you discuss Chinese thing, just open a new topic.

wrong and wrong, but it's good the UK will kick the CCP out of the UK :)

It makes me laugh still, sorry I cant find it now, but a BBC reporter tracked down a Chinese fisherman who claimed he had maps dated back many years showing the disputed waters belong to China, but when the BBC reporter asked to see the maps, he said he had thrown them out because they got damaged :rofl2:

I'll leave it at what I posted originally, the CCP has no friends. :(

Its a team that does the negotiations, mostly using gambits. Emotionally driven hothead is a good one to have, but everyone at the table has been through this a hundred times. ;) Boris will get a better deal, by virtue of him coming later and therefore being able to assert more pressure, yes. ;)

I've watched an interview with a former female political negotiator in her seventies, who detailed all the roles she had to have on her team, and when to use which one. The entire negotiation process is designed to a T. :) Sadly the interview is german so its not of much use to link it in here. You get a less in debt version, when you browse through the brexit thread, and look for the 'official documentary' of the EU negotiation side (I think it was an arte piece). There you can see a negotiation team at work. :)

edit: I looked it up, in case anyone is interested and speaks german. ;)

She was the head of Transparency International germany for the last 10 years, but headed negotiation teams for ministries, years before that. ;)

Thats known
At one moment in time you'll find out you are in an economic or political union not to get complete transparency or representation as a citizen, but rather to create a sort of 'cartel' that works for a group of countries, economically.. ;)

Which also leads to corruption, but in the EU usually only for 'access' to decision makers (and law proposals), the other division of power processes seem to work well enough.. ;) (Of course they arent democratic.. ;) )

The idea is still, that GB economically should have had more common interests with the EU, than with the former commonwealth. Which is why everyone insisted, that Brexit was stupid. ;)

But as long as you can gloat, you can heal as a nation... ;)
