  1. My English learning journey has been rock solid bez i changed my status quo of my terrible procrastinating habits. As I have started to see some progressions, I don't feel fume like I used to be when I was last year.

  2. China Evergrande Real Estate Company has gone bankrupt in 2023! Country Garden, Sunac, Shimao, China Fortune Land Development, R&F, Sunshine City, Zhenro, Blu-ray, Longguang, Zhongliang, Kaisa, Aoyuan and other real estate companies have huge liabilities. Debt defaults or bankruptcies may occur in 2024! We remind investors to sell the stocks of these companies as soon as possible to cash out!

  3. BBC? Worse bias GOVERNMENT FUNDED PROPAGANDA of LIES…..TAIWAN – Where is America touting for let DEMOCRACY SPEAK NOW??? Less than 30% of people VOTED for independence for Taiwan!!! RESULTS-Notice the lack of FANFARE FROM BIDEN/AMERICA about the Taiwan election result? Fact: Less than 70% voter turn out. So the American stooge had a 39% vote of 70% of the people ====>> so less than 30% of people could be bothered to VOTE for independence for Taiwan!!! (…and we all KNOW HOW MUCH HOO HAA has been made demonising China and WARMONGERING and SCREAMING about DEMOCRACY and INDEPENDANCE by America leading up to the election!!)

  4. No it doesn’t anger China lol. For one thing: his victory isn’t commending at all. China isn’t angry because its ultimate interests aren’t threatened, yet. This is not a start either for that process.

  5. Communists remain status quo, As in Shanghai stock market going down rapidly today, Authority is saying gdp of china has grown five to 6% for the last year, it is on the extremely right track, but People are fuming about the broken economy, on the other hand the support of the government is rock solid😮

  6. In Supreme court of India a simple D.A case from W.B remains unsolved more than a year under these high price.Drawing the attention of chief Justice.Only date and dates.conspiracy?

  7. I must change my status quo to learn English, I am fuming because I am not able to speak English, but I will be rock solid about learning English.

  8. Although Lai wins the presidential election, but there are 60% of Taiwanese support the other two opposition parties.
    So, the sitting party in the future has to fix it 😊.

  10. Congratulations to Taiwan – a free and open election gives their country a new president. None of Chinas business.

  11. The result of the election on the island Taiwan 2024 is the government of China, the Republic of China and the President of the Republic of China, but the government and president of Taiwan. There is no country named Taiwan on this earth, where the BBC teaches English, but the fact and truth.

    The Republic of China was established in the year 1912 and ruled the whole China until 1949, as the Peoples Republic China was founded. The constitution of the Republic of China claims the whole China as its territory and the whole Chinese as its citizen still today.

    The Republic of China isn't democratic, because its citizen on the continent China are excluded from the election through the amendments of its constitution. If the government of UK had been elected only by the citizen of London, the UK were also not democratic.

    If I were wrong with these facts, please pointed it out.

    You don't really need to learn English, if you can write English as badly as me, the People will still understand you. It's not only enough, but also better than gut English with wrong facts. Haha.

  12. The soap-opera of Taiwan vs China rock solid status quo is going to fume sooner or later.
    The status quo of some Taiwanese' rock solidity is going to fume once the Chinese cinema director Zhang Yimou starts to threaten invasion of the island by his cast of background actors.

    The less rock solid are trying to distract, from the shaking of their status quo, and so avoid excess of their citizen's fuming. Bearing of the reforms has to be rock solid since the status quo was going to make the world & planet fume.

  13. As a Taiwanese in Canada, I'm pleased that I don't have to fly back to Taiwan, and the people have elected the president I desired. (Thanks to my friends and family in Taiwan!)
