I don't think the sub-heading summarises the story. In any case, cultural stereotyping, like tipping, on question banks invariably leads to skewed results. Isn't this a German company? Surprise, surprise!

It's good to see grass-roots democracy at work.

They must be communists!

This was a pretty badly kept open secret, anyway.

But better to revise the official version for the masses, before the election, than to appear to be subservient to the US!

Better check that dictionary again, mate. An opinion is a thought or a belief. You may disagree with it, it may upset you, it may get you to examine your own beliefs, but that doesn't make it wrong. It can't be proved, or disproved.

I don't care that people…

However, it is just an opinion, and, therefore cannot be incorrect. Our opinions…

Oh, I think there are many possibilities that would become apparent, once you went away. We mainlanders wouldn't mind subsidising any venture there.

The strategic location that you go on and on about, can also be used for tourism, transport, energy, IT. I hear there are many fine golf courses…
