Re: CHINA 2016
After all, if Cyprus, Russia, Azerbaidjan, Armenia, Georgia are in, why not China?

Re: CHINA 2016
Huh? Cyprus is in the EU and indisputably a European country in all terms expect for the disputed geographical one (but being an Island it's a floating subject
). Russia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are all having parts in continental Europe... Armenia, well it's a direct neighbor to Europe and arguably a European country aswell (atleast on a political, cultural, linguistic, religious and historical level).
However if Australia are let in, then it makes no sense to not let in any other non-European countries... I'd say let's destroy this contest as fast as possible!

Re: CHINA 2016
My message was just for the geographical aspect.
All of countries that i've mentionned, aren't entirely in Europe
Some african countries have participated too!
I don't say that i'm agree for China's participation, but i'm not shocked!
PS : (Sorry for Cyprus, i've don't realised that their in EU)

Re: CHINA 2016
You know it's a really shallow view, when we talk about being part of Europe?
Re: CHINA 2016
How come? they don't have land in Europe while Azerbaijan has. Also they're not descended from Europeans. Armenia has little to do with Europe and they're closer to Middle Eastern populations like Syrians, or Lebanese historically, culturally, even religiously (see Syrian and Lebanese Christians)
Typical Western hypocrisy that brings up the 'religion' factor. As if Christianity is originated in Europe. I'm sorry but Islam, just like Christianity, is a native European religion, as practiced by nations that have land in Europe such as Bosnia, Albania, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kosovo, parts of Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia etc. like it or not, you can't change facts.
If religion is that important to you, go have Uganda. They're Christians too. And sure they're so much progressive, European-like nation that wants to execute homosexuals.

Re: CHINA 2016
If Cyprus is in 'Europe', then should be half of Turkey as well, technically. Aegean Coast of Turkey which is a few swim strokes away from the Greek shore is regarded as Asia Minor but Cyprus is European because y'know they're Christians.
Sorry but North Africa is closer to Europe than Cyprus is.

I wanted to write something but I think all the arguments AGAINST were already used. This is just pure nonsense. I say NO of course.

IKR, neither Christianity or Islam originated in Europe.Joke of the year
Re: CHINA 2016
True, but Christianity come to Europe in first century, and Islam in 15th century. And BTW I really don't care for religion.
And about China on ESC: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

By that logic; Egypt is closer.

Re: CHINA 2016
Does it really matter who came first? there's this fact that Islam has a significant ground in Europe and there are Muslim-majority states fully or partially located in Europe. So 'religion' can in no way be a point of discussion in whether a country can be regarded as European or not.

They technically have a part in Europe from the Caucasus. Armenia is %0 in Europe. You need some instructions about widely accepted European boundaries.
