O/T:- China

I asked you, politely I would say. Hands up, something I don't always do.

The IMEI number should tell you. If you can locate that and google it. Spoiler alert - it's rare it's not China.

Oh yeah, lets have your statistics then clever boy.

Wow, I see that the undisputed NCM grand master of evading an answer is now demanding that others give them !!!! The person who always runs away like the coward he is and hides under his stone whenever he's asked a direct question!

OK Soccerman, I'll give you a chance to prove me wrong. A couple of days ago you accused me of posting "the politics of envy". I asked what exactly you thought I was envious of, and as usual you ran away and hid. Any chance of an answer now?

Saw Joe's post earlier and knew you wouldn't be able to help yersen. So, do you think Joe will do more than a one-line reply?
PS......I like Joe

Of course you like him, because he doesn't like me. Seeing as you asked what I think, I don't think he'll give any sort of answer to what I asked, not even a one liner. He'll hide away as usual.

How about you? Will you completely embarrass yourself even more after a few drinks like you did on the locked thread you started a couple of days ago, or will you make yourself look a complete tit yet again when you've had one too many?

A mixture:

Samsung Mobile Phone Manufacturing Locations
As of 2019, Samsung has its mobile phone manufacturing factories at 6 locations – Vietnam, China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and South Korea. 50% of Samsung mobile phones are made in Vietnam and 8% in Korea. Rest is manufactured in India, Brazil, Indonesia and China.

The major companies in Chinese smartphone industry are Huawei, Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and Lenovo.

It would be great for the human population as a whole (including the Chinese who live in ridiculously polluted and overcrowded cities) to reduce the reliance on Chinese manufactured consumer products, thats a really long road ahead mind.

That's exactly why the response to COVID-19 needs to be both measured and sensible. I think that there will be some form of retaliation against the Chinese government in the form of economic sanctions as the death-toll mounts up around the world.

What would ultimately be great for the human population is far fewer humans. The worldwide death toll from Coronavirus - whatever it eventually turns out to be - will be like p*ssing in the sea compared with the threat to humankind and the planet that is posed by the exponential growth in the world population hour by hour, day by day and year by year. Coronavirus will barely make a dent in that. China introduced a one child birth control policy but relaxed it in 2013. Maybe a better idea would have been to keep it and extend it across pretty much the rest of the world. Or we could just accept that our species was always designed to be finite and enjoy life while it lasts.

I stand corrected. If ............you are correct.

Erm, I can see you're struggling mate. Ok, me and fatlads polite exchange on the " Royal Family" thread. Normally,you'd have jumped in. Yeah, she did let me have another beer , but I did manage to finish glossing the hallway

Well I don't disagree. To actually police a one child birth policy though is so ridiculously difficult that it becomes not worthwhile in itself.

It's obvious the human race are going to implode at some point due to over-population. The issue is nobody wants to be alive (nor have their kids or grandkids alive) when that time comes.

I don't think you'll manage to gloss over your embarrassing "Apart from Elite" thread! I'm just glad that the mods decided to lock it rather than delete it, because it shows you up for the pathetic individual you are big time!

I would put money on me drinking you under the table any day of the week, but I do know when to stop.
