DJ Calvert told BBC News NI: “I’ve been let down - and I’m not the only one.”

It was proof that Northern Ireland’s health and social care system had “crashed”, said the 49-year-old.

    This is why the Chinese people are very supportive of their government. You would be too in this situation.

          How many times are people going to face this claim?

          China’s pretty much popped their real estate bubble already, yet consumer spending is already recovering.

          I’d not repeat the Pooh meme if I’d were you. It implies Obama being a N-word. But libs and racism go hand in hand, so there you go.

          The answer is no, because of the fundamental differences in how Japan and China are run.

          Japan is modeled off of a capitalist imperialist economy, similar to the US. And as such, it will stagnate and requires imperialism and increasing levels of exploitation to maintain its economy. It does not have the tools or methodology to develop further without imperialism. And thus, it stagnates.

          Meanwhile, China is socialist. It uses dialectical materialism to solve social issues and promote cohesion. And instead of profit, it will seek to optimize material conditions, and identify the barriers to doing so, creating a strategy for development. Through Marxian economics, it understands that productivity comes through cooperation and labour, and not profit. Optimization can be performed throughout the supply chain through central planning.

          China runs under C—>M—>C, while Japan runs under M—>C—>M.

          China does have problems but it also has the tools to solve them, instead of just sweeping it under the rug.
