what’s the point in building another Gigafactory when Chinese EVs are cheaper, better quality and more innovative
Apparently Musk went to China to get that Chinese FSD data stored there by Tesla since 2021
The Chinese probably said no we can’t allow that Chinese data to go to the USA so you can type up some algorithms
But we will allow you to team up with Baidu who are already way ahead of you anyways
This will help you compete in China vs Chinese EV makers

Baidu starts offering nighttime driverless taxis
December 26, 2022
Starting this week, the public can ride its robotaxis in Wuhan between 7 am and 11 pm without safety drivers behind the wheel.
Previously, its unmanned vehicles could only operate from 9 am to 5 pm in the city.
The updated scheme is expected to cover one million customers in certain areas of Wuhan, a city of more than 10 million people.
Like most autonomous vehicle startups, Baidu combines a mix of third-party cameras, radar and lidar to help its cars see better in low-visibility conditions, in contrast to Tesla’s vision-based solution.
In August, Baidu started offering fully driverless robotaxi rides, charging passengers at taxi rates.
In Q3, Apollo Go, the firm’s robotaxi hailing app, completed more than 474,000 rides, up 311% year over year.
Accumulatively, Apollo Go had exceeded 1.4 million orders as of Q3.

You Filipinos say payment is for rent
Malaysians says it’s payment for sale
It does not matter under the contract they can make those payments
Whatever you want to call it rent or sale in perpetuity 👈( that means for ever and ever and ever )
But like I said in other post. The claim you Filipinos have on Sabah and some other Malaysian islands you Filipinos have taken that are closer to Malaysia
Is a historical claim… Historical claim you Filipinos dismissed as a valid claim in 2017
👇
The two main sultanates in the region at the time were Sulu and Brunei. In 1658, the Sultan of Brunei gave Sabah to the Sultan of Sulu - either as a dowry or because troops from Sulu had helped him quell a rebellion.
More than 350 years later, the sultan's heirs have come to remind Malaysians that they still consider Sabah to be part of Sulu and, by extension, part of the Philippines.
"Sabah is our home," they said simply when asked why they had come.
But history is not that simple and of course Malaysia has no intention of giving up Sabah to this little band of Filipinos.
The crux of their disagreement lies in a contract made in 1878, between the Sultanate of Sulu and the British North Borneo Company.
Under this contract known as pajak, the company could occupy Sabah in perpetuity as long as it paid a regular sum of money.
Even today, Malaysia pays about 5,000 Malaysian ringgit (£1,000, $1,500) a year to the Sultanate of Sulu.
But the British and, after that an independent Malaysia, interpreted pajak to mean sale, while the Sulu Sultanate has always maintained it means lease.
"In my opinion, this is more consistent with a lease rather than a sale, because you can't have a purchase price which is not fixed and which is payable until kingdom come," said Harry Roque, a law professor at the University of the Philippines.

When the USA destabilizes Governments/Props up dictators, causes vvar or goes to vvar
Telling people the USA way of Government and life is better
Then what do you expect?
Reminds me of those Hong Kong protesters waving American flags
Thinking life is better in the west with democracy and freedoms
When we who live out west, know the real truth

BN(O) visa immigrants: Study reveals 50% unemployment rate among Hong Kongers under 65 in the U.K., 99% have no plans to return
* 22nd November 2023 – (London) A recent study conducted by the “Welcoming Committee for Hong Kongers” organisation, which assists Hong Kongers who have immigrated to the U.K. through the BN(O) Visa, has shed light on the employment situation of these individuals. The study surveyed over 2,000 Hong Kong immigrants and found that only 50% of those under the age of 65 were able to secure employment, indicating a significant unemployment rate among this group.
The study also highlighted the educational background of BN(O) Hong Kongers in the U.K. It revealed that 36% of the surveyed individuals held a master’s or doctoral degree, while 23% had a postgraduate degree. These figures indicate that BN(O) Hong Kongers in the U.K are nearly twice as well-educated as the average UK population.
* However, despite their educational qualifications, many BN(O) Hong Kongers are facing difficulties in securing employment that matches their skills and experience. Among those surveyed who were employed, 47% felt that their job did not align with their qualifications, and 20% felt that their workload was excessive.

People like you are probably too brain was hed
To have a clue there is now 27 books out there in what the Chinese invented first that says we copied or stole from them first
These days????
China has been transferring its tech to Global South Countries and its Belt and Road partners countries
BTW
The western multinationals went to China at the time because of their weak labour laws, weak environmental laws, mass pool of cheap labour they could pay dollar a day wages to
And yes weak IP laws that went along with it
In exchange the western multinationals traded knowledge and investment
This was nothing new, the west goes to 3rd world or developing nation takes advantages of this country until the locals complain about wages, pollution, or environmental damages. Western multinationals pick up and run for it.
I would argue yes they expected the Chinese to buy 1 billion toothbrushes and 2 billion socks
But they didn’t expect them to enrich themselves
My evidence is even before the west pushed for Chinese WTO inclusion the Top of the food chain 1%ters and their TooBigTooFail Investment Banks worked out the worst deal ever for themselves
Where these TooBigTooFail Investments Banks got a 33% interest in a “Joint Venture Chinese Investment Banking Subsidiary.” Where the Chinese Bank got a 67%
Difference is the Chinese didn’t complain they put up with those dollar a day wages making 22 times less than what an average American worker made. Yet saved 30% of those wages over 30 plus years.
Indirectly loaning those saving to those Americans so they could spend their savings and borrow to spend some more.
While the Chinese invested or made a business with their savings
Where the Chinese lowered their standards of living while the Americans were able to raise their standards of living with those cheaper goods
If anything the Chinese were dragging their feet on the TRIPS agreement under the WTO….specifically regarding developing countries
👇
Developing countries’ transition periods Provisions for developing countries, economies in transition from central planning, and least-developed countries
Developing countries and economies in transition from central planning did not have to apply most provisions of the TRIPS Agreement until 1 January 2000.
The provisions they did have to apply deal with non-discrimination.
Article 65.2 and 65.3
Least-developed countries were given until 1 January 2006.
Article 66.1.
Members have agreed to extend the deadline to 1 July 2034, or to the date a country is no longer “least-developed”, if that is earlier.
Pursuant to the Doha Declaration on TRIPS and Public Health, a separate transition period exists for pharmaceutical patents, which currently runs until 1 January 2033.

State Department cables warned of safety
issues at Wuhan lab studying bat
coronaviruses
By Josh Rogin
April 14, 2020 at 5:0
* In January 2018, the U.S. Embassy in Beijing took the unusual step of repeatedly sending U.S. science diplomats to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which had in 2015 become China’s first laboratory to achieve the highest level of international bioresearch safety (known as BSL-4). WIV issued a news release in English about the last of these visits, which occurred on March 27, 2018.
*During interactions with scientists at the WIV laboratory, they noted the new lab has a serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory,” states the Jan. 19, 2018, cable, which was drafted by two officials from the embassy’s environment, science and health sections who met with the WIV scientists. (The State Department declined to comment on this and other details of the story.)
The Chinese researchers at WIV were receiving assistance from the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch and other U.S. organizations, but the Chinese requested additional help. The cables argued that the United States should give the Wuhan lab further support, mainly because its research on bat coronaviruses was important but also dangerous.
