Respect everyone you meet until they give you reason to revoke it. It's easy to maintain respect. It's quite difficult to earn it back.
Time to get the train back on the rails. Does any US mainline or otherwise have any orders for these aircraft? Seems like no one would have a use for them given almost every legacy carrier is upgaging their routes.

There are a billion Chinese who are okay with an authoritarian government. Maybe we should be more like them because they clearly are doing it right.
I still don't give respect to my elders solely because they have been breathing longer than me. It's not hard. Billions of people live every day. You make the mistake of assuming that the opposite of "I don't respect my elders solely because they are old" is "I default to disrespecting everyone." That isnt how words work.

Not to mention 100 million Chinese males who are becoming angry bitter men because they will not have a opportunity to marry and have children. That type of social anger usually causes leadership to seek out wars to divert the issue.

There's two thousand years of China trying to dominate Indochina (Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia). As recently as 1979, Chinese army crossed into Vietnam with 50,000 Vietnamese dead in the end. As to the Japanese, the 20th century for recent experience.
As a friend in HKG says, "they get along as long as they are making money, take the money away and everybody in Asia will killing each other".

I'll admit that I don't know much about the Asian culture, but what I do know is that they respect their elders. I actually admire them for that.

As do many others. Respecting your elders is always the best way forward. In spite of what another poster here thinks, those who came before us have often "been there, done that, got the T-shirt, and survived". That alone is deserving of respect, until they prove otherwise by their words or actions.
