It’s about time that “since 1979” myth ends. The Sino-Vietnamese war lasted for 10 years. Among the highest daily combat losses in the history of Vietnam People’s Army took place in 1984 against China (600 to 1,700 per day in the Battle of Vi Xuyen/Laoshan).

On January 1st, 2021, Brussels introduced a 30 km/h (18 mph) citywide speed limit.
Within one year, overall speeds decreased 9%, collisions 22%, fatalities 50%, and traffic noise up to 50% (depending on the surface).
Journey times by car were identical or even slightly shorter.
