@Matthew_Loutner and pray to the good lord to be a less biased person Back in the 80s I was 100% pro American USA number 1 rah rah sis boom ba!!!! Then I did some reading and research 👇 IP Theft Is What Once Helped Make America Great That was certainly the case for the United States. The practice of grabbing intellectual property was a staple of U.S. economic strategy since the outset of the nation’s founding. The play Hamilton has brought new and deserved respect to the first secretary of the treasury. But his many economic achievements should not blind us to the fact that theft of intellectual property was a linchpin of his manufacturing strategy. RealClearMarkets

Btw What most people like you don’t get? Is it is mostly US multinationals making the lion share of those profits inflating the trade deficit between China to the USA Where Chinese companies mostly trade with their Belt and Road country partners these days These US multinationals are the ones sending you that junk These US multinationals are still using the same highly polluting labour intensive factories formula. As they were using more and more illegal labour in their Chinese factories, smuggled in from South East Asia. Or more and more automation in their wholly owned factories in China these days These are the same companies who got those trump Corporate tax cuts you for sure cheered about Same companies based in China who derived 392 billion in sales of their goods and services into those Chinese domestic markets in 2018 when trump started his trade war Same companies averaging 20% to 40% of their earnings from China whose high flying stocks are in your 401k/Pensions Same companies who the American farmer and consumer were sacrificed. So the USA could try and get “more” or “better” access for the US multinationals, into those Chinese Domestic markets during the trade war Same companies whose HQ is in a North American city you can easily go stand outside and protest at…. Why didn’t China pull the nuclear trade option and boot these US companies you might ask? For one, it would crash the US Economy And the Chinese don’t believe in a zero-sum game type of thinking As I can show you during the trade war. China didn’t pull out their big trade weapons, in fact they were lowering tariffs to most countries not raising them 👇 Trump’s ‘trade war’ with China won’t be so easy to win Having learned these value chain lessons, Beijing has worked hard to bring more of the high-value-adding parts of value chains into China, and to build hi-tech industries in which it can establish a globally competitive position. China has successfully done this in areas like high-speed trains (CRRC), digital telecoms networks (Huawei), drones (DJI) and hi-tech batteries (BYD). Trump’s team is not wrong to be worried about China’s competitive emergence here, and to target these new-tech sectors in the latest trade war sortie. But here’s the problem: China exports almost none of these new-tech products to the US, making US tariff threats meaningless. Rather, they go to developing economy markets – many embraced by the Belt and Road initiative – where China has succeeded in building a hi-tech, high-value brand reputation. As Trump’s team will quickly learn, the challenge of finding China’s pain points is bigger than expected: for a decade China’s priority has been to base growth on the domestic consumer economy and reduce reliance on the low-value-adding export processing industries (many of which are US- or Hong Kong-owned and concentrated in the Pearl River Delta) SCMP

Americans are so uneducated these days dont understand Purchasing Power Parity the Chinese are averaging over 820 billion a year in trade surpluses with the world. Most of that trade, even if it is not directly with America, will be in USD yet they are buying Gold with their surpluses instead, and have held at that 800 billion to 1 trillion in US Sovereign Debt for a few decades now Even though their Central Government is cracking down in real estate speculation Slowing down the economy? The Chinese people have added 2.6 trillion to their savings in 2022 And 1.8 trillion to their savings for first 10 months of 2023 The Chinese Government is actually pushing their people away from investing in real estate, and to invest in technology/industries instead. (What’s 4 houses vs 5 This is where China leads the world in 37 of the 44 critical technologies of the future already As they will pile even more money into these future technologies My prediction is the Chinese Government will have to step in and regulate yet another overheated sector (technology) in the future Where Blinken,Yellen & their successors will have to keep going to China to beg them not to dump their cheap high tech onto the rest of world Most people have no clue what’s coming, as they supercharge their exports with their new innovative high tech products 👇 Chinese Consumers Are Saving Rather Than Spending Amid Economic Downturn Dec 21, 2023 — Chinese households have added 13.8 trillion yuan ($1.89 trillion) The middle class is also prioritizing savings and seeking safe investment opportunities, according to the report.

Has China Restored Private Land Ownership? The Implications of Beijing’s New Policy By Donald Clarke May 16, 2017 Full Private Land Ownership Returns to China’s Cities I don’t see how to read this other than as a promise of perpetual free renewals. This means that people who paid for a 70-year LUR now find themselves with a perpetual LUR: the equivalent of full fee simple ownership. That’s worth noticing. Law professors typepad

Good News For Chinese Homeowners: Premier Li Offers Some Clarity On Land Leases Mar 21, 2017 Chinese homeowners can breathe a little easier. Last Wednesday, Premier Li Keqiang said a real estate protection provision that would ensure individual’s access to property under a 70-year lease would be renewed unconditionally is being drafted. This will help to quell ongoing fears that wealth garnered from one generation will be removed after the 70-year lease ends by the government. And while this does not address the fate of 20-year leases, the precedent set in Wenzhou may be replicated in other areas. Residential land lease policy Chinese residential land is parceled out in 20- or 70-year leases. Home owners may own their apartment, but do not own the land it is built on, which belongs to the government. The question of how the land lease will be renewed is therefore a big question. While the 2007 Property law stated that the right to use residential land would be renewed at the expiration of the contract, it did not state how the process would be carried out or how much it might cost to renew the lease. As 20-year leases come due, homeowners want to know what to expect for the future of their oftentimes largest asset. This impacts not only bequeathing property to the next generation, but also selling property. The first 70-year leases are expected to expire around 2030. Reassurances on the longer leases from the central government follow after Chinese officials in the land ministry assured homeowners in Wenzhou, a city in the eastern Zhejiang province, last December that they would not have to pay a renewal fee to continue to use their residences after the shorter 20-year lease expires. The was a reversal of earlier statements that homeowners would have to pay a large fee of up to a third of the property value to renew. Wenzhou’s case was unique in that fees for property renewal were quite high; other cities, such as Qingdao and Shenzhen, experienced earlier lease expiries, but did not address the issue or requested lower fees. Wenzhou may set a precedent for other Chinese cities by waiving the renewal fee, albeit only temporarily. The lease renewal process matters How central and local governments shape the lease renewal process is critical in maintaining stability in property markets. I believe that the lease renewal process must be codified in a law to make it clear and consistent. Otherwise, a patchwork of policies among local governments, with regard to the 20-year lease, will sow confusion and create strong market biases toward cities with lower renewal fees. Furthermore, lease renewal should at least be affordable, although analysts hold various opinions as to whether or not it should be free. Notably, across China, 90% of households own their homes, and home ownership is especially important because there are few other reliable investment outlets available to households. Most individuals have not factored the cost of lease renewal into their home price, and a high renewal fee would present a large initial shock to home owners. Low fees are a double-edged sword Allowing homeowners to renew leases for a low fee or without paying a new fee is a double-edged sword, however, since local governments obtain funds from selling and leasing land. Abolishing the fees wholesale would result in a drop in much-needed local government revenue, which in some places is already insufficient to support the many services local governments are tasked with. A property tax would resolve this. However, such a tax has been in the making for the past several years but has yet to be implemented, most likely due to concerns that this would dampen the real estate market. China’s Vice Housing Minister, Lu Kehua, stated last month that China needs to “speed up” a property tax law, yet there was no discussion of this at the recent National People’s Congress. Previous experiments implementing a property tax in Chongqing resulted in confusion about how bills were to be paid and how they were to be administered. Still, potentially replacing land use fees with a property tax makes sense Forbes

What are you talking about the Chinese have a pension And they are transferring money and assets from State owned enterprises to fund their Pensions 👇 Through a central coordination mechanism, over 930 billion yuan ($147.58 billion) from the national pool went to make up for the shortfalls of local pension schemes last year alone. China's basic old-age insurance, a key program to ensure people's well-being after retirement, has been evolving to a larger-scale management system since its establishment in the 1990s. The central coordination mechanism was set up in 2018 as the first step prior to building a national system to further address unbalanced pension burdens nationwide. But issues deriving from disparities in regional economic development and demographic structure still exist. "Some regions have more surpluses, while the others with older populations are under heavier pressure to make pension payments," said Qi Tao, an official from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. In 2021, over 210 billion yuan from the coordination mechanism went to the central and western regions as well as the northeastern "rust belt" provinces, as a greying population weighs on their pension payments and growing labor outflows squeeze pension income. Using a nationwide chessboard as a metaphor, the head of the China Association of Social Security Zheng Gongcheng said the new national system will make the pension benefits fairer. "People won't need to sacrifice their pensions for migrating to work, and retirees won't have to deal with the risks from local pension fund shortfalls." Qi said a mechanism that assigns the respective expenditure responsibilities of central and local governments on pension funds will be built after the national program comes into force and the central government will not roll back its subsidy to the pension funds. Apart from the coordination efforts and central subsidy, state assets totaling 1.68 trillion yuan from 93 centrally-administered enterprises and financial institutions have also been transferred to replenish the pension schemes.

@timmyg44 stop with the f ache news every 100 days the USA has to borrow 1 trillion to keep the economy afloat That’s subsidizing the entire US economy let alone exports And yes China in the last 2 years alone has thrown 1.4 trillion at its clean,green, renewable etc (And that is not even including the portion of the clean, green renewable investment of the trillions it has invested/lent out around the world in tech/infrastructure these last few years) But then we were crying they were the number 1 polluter in the world not to long ago Now its overcapacity 🙄🙄🙄 Maybe our western Governments should spend the money, instead of complaining since they care so much about climate change 👇 China is responsible for 33% of the world’s energy-related CO2 emissions today, but this will reduce to 22% by 2050, a reduction in annual emissions of 8 GtCO2 (three times the size of Europe’s decarbonization over the same period) China’s power mix shifts from 30% renewable today to 88% by 2050 Solar makes up 5% of power generation in China today – this will rise to 38% by 2050 Oil consumption only halves by 2050 from its 2027 peak, while natural gas peaks in the 2030s before returning to today’s levels by mid-century China will further extend its position as the world’s green energy leader with unrivalled build-out and export of renewable technology DNV

@Matthew_Loutner Matthew Matthew Matthew 👇 There is now a 27 book series on Chinese inventions that says we copied or stole from them These days the Chinese lead the world in 37 of 44 critical technologies of the future You should pray to the good lord to give you some better research skills 👇 The remarkable history of Chinese invention - Why was China erased from Western memory? Article by 龙信明 Introduction Joseph Needham was an English medical doctor and biologist, teaching in England in the 1930s. By an accident of fate he acquired some Chinese students, and was intrigued to hear their claims of so many medical and scientific discoveries having originated in China, rather than in the West. Needham became fully fluent in Chinese, and eventually moved to China in 1942 to investigate these claims and to research the entire history of Chinese invention. That work led to an astonishing voyage of historical discovery. Needham originally planned to write a book cataloguing Chinese inventions, but his first volume barely scratched the surface of his subject. He slowly gatherred many of his students into this enterprise, and they eventually wrote a collection of 26 books, to catalog the history of Chinese discovery. Myth and Misrepresentation It leaves one speechless to learn the vast extent of things invented by the Chinese many hundreds of years, and often several millennia, before they appeared in the West.

@Matthew_Loutner this is the only comment you can be partially correct on Like I said these days the Chinese lead the world in 37 out of 44 critical technologies of the future While there is now 27 books series on what the Chinese invented in the past Which some might categorize we stole from them and gave our West the Industrial Revolution Where I view it? as we made incremental innovations to what was already invented by them What do I mean by that? Take for example the Rocket The Chinese invented the Rocket in the 12th century more rudimentary ones in the 9th century Now now nowhere do I say the rockets the Chinese invented are anywhere near what we have today. Thats because incremental innovations were made to the Rocket over the centuries to what we have today Just like in 2007 the Chinese designed a “type” of anti satellite rocket, that both the USA and Russians had not developed yet. I call that making incremental innovations to what was already invented Americans like you probably calling it stealing Because history only started for you a few hundred years ago 👇 'Wake-Up Call': China Leads in 37 Out of 44 Critical Technology Sectors, Says Report The Australian Strategic Policy Institute has pointed out that only seven of the 44 technologies analysed by its report are currently led by a democratic country, 'and that country in all instances is the US.' The Wire Staff Mar 09, 2023 New Delhi: China is far ahead of even the United States in conducting cutting-edge research in most critical technologies, especially in defence, space and security, a new report by a top Australian think tank has found. In the report published on March 2, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute shows that China has “built the foundations to position itself as the world’s leading science and technology superpower, by establishing a sometimes stunning lead in high-impact research across the majority of critical and emerging technology domains”.

@Matthew_Loutner Well obviously your narrow minded view of things/ take on things you don’t think this or that Better question you should be asking is what happened to China? China is a harbinger for you Americans these days It has had the luxury of rising and falling a few times in history A big reason why there is a 7 volume 27 book series on what China invented first But we think they just copy and can’t innovate The last being in the 1500s China spent the better part of a millennia trading places with what is now India for top economy in the world By the 1430s it was by far the top economy and technological leader in the world. But their emperor at the time started the slow process of closing in on itself closing off its borders This lead to 400 years of decline and then an eventual semi colonization of China for 100 more years The big difference is back then they were not running up these huge external sovereign debts like we are seeing these days with Western Countries Now China is back these days as they lead the world in 37 of 44 critical technologies of the future But it took them 550 years to do so Byw you should also research the role of the Chinese in the rise of your American Silicon Valley Chinese Americans are 1.58% of the total U.S. population (2021) 👇 Today, Chinese Americans still continue to own about 20% of all U.S.-based information technology companies that were founded in Silicon Valley since 1980.

The country spent $546 billion in 2022 on investments that included solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and batteries. Scientific American 👇 Analysis: Clean energy was top driver of China’s economic growth in 2023 Other key findings of the analysis include: Clean-energy investment rose 40% year-on-year to 6.3tn yuan ($890bn), with the growth accounting for all of the investment growth across the Chinese economy in 2023. China’s $890bn investment in clean-energy sectors is almost as large as total global investments in fossil fuel supply in 2023 – and similar to the GDP of Switzerland or Turkey. Including the value of production, clean-energy sectors contributed 11.4tn yuan ($1.6tn) to the Chinese economy in 2023, up 30% year-on-year. Clean-energy sectors, as a result, were the largest driver of China’ economic growth overall, accounting for 40% of the expansion of GDP in 2023. Without the growth from clean-energy sectors, China’s GDP would have missed the government’s growth target of “around 5%”, rising by only 3.0% CarbonBrief

How long do electric car batteries last? What 6,300 electric vehicles tell us about EV battery life Last updated on May 31, 2024 How long do EV batteries last? According to research from Geotab, the simple answer is that if the observed EV battery degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle and will never need to be replaced. Based on data from over 6,000 electric vehicles, spanning all the major makes and models, Geotab finds that EV batteries are exhibiting high levels of sustained health. Across all vehicles, on average, an EV battery degrades at 2.3% per year. Do electric car batteries wear out? Of course, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out, but in most cases, this will be long after the vehicle’s life-cycle is complete. See also: To what degree does temperature impact EV range? Do electric cars lose range over time? Technically, yes. What this means for an electric vehicle’s range is, if you purchase an EV today with a 150-mile range, you would lose about 17 miles of accessible range after five years. This decline is not likely to have a significant impact on most drivers’ day-to-day needs, but it is a factor fleet managers will need to consider when it comes to maximizing the value of their EVs. Importantly for consumers, car makers commonly offer a warranty on EV batteries for around eight years or 100,000 miles. This is the federal minimum in the United States and it varies by manufacturer and country. But by all accounts, electric car batteries should last much longer than that. GeoTab
