  19.  @PelleGIT  For the west it’s about China closing itself off to them especially the USA It not about trade deficits because we in the west tend to consume more than we produce So we trade with XYZ country we will have trade deficit with them Our western countries /multinational corporations want more or better access to Chinese domestic markets, even though in 2018 when trump started his trade war, just US multinationals based in China alone and their subsidiaries, had 392 billion in sales for their goods and services in China In China in 2008 around 70% of the people in their real estate markets were buying their 1st homes in their cities By 2018 around 70% of the people in their real estate markets were buying their 2nd and 3rd homes in their cities Which their Government in 2010 started to crackdown on this speculation Which our western 1%ters and their multinational corporations don’t like They wanted those overheated real estate markets. They want those Chinese buying their 4th and 5th homes right about now (Even though there is a few hundred million less well off rural folks, who they are expecting to migrate to the cities where they can’t find affordable housing as Property Developers build higher end homes that make them more money) That’s because our western 1%ters and their multinational corporations want to be the ones loaning out that money for those homes Getting at those high Chinese saving's getting them to spend them on their goods and services and then borrowing to spend some more like they did to us (although we the average westerners are also at fault as we played our part by borrowing and spending) The Chinese just ain’t playing ball so they are obviously the bad guys to our elite western 1%ters 👇 Project Syndicate The value of global China China faces important questions about whether and to what extent it should continue to pursue opening up its economy to the rest of the world, write Jonathan Woetzel and Jeongmin Seong in Project Syndicate. In any case, China and the world face important questions about the trajectory of their mutual engagement. At stake, according to our simulation, may be some $22-37 trillion in economic value – or 15-26% of world GDP – by 2040. McKinsey

  20.  @philgooddr.7850  China is still considered a developing country by the WTO A decade ago people were complaining about China being the worlds biggest polluter Now it’s China subsidized this plus that and over capacity 🙄 Maybe it’s time for these richer countries to put even more money into fixing the climate change they fear so much Because let’s get one thing straight every country is subsidizing their auto industries Plus worldwide oil subsidies hit 7 trillion in 2023 If they don’t have an auto industry then their clean, green, renewable etc etc etc It’s just the Chinese are doing it on a massive scale Maybe you want your grandkids to go back to the cart and horse 50 years from now Because worldwide oil reserves are projected to last 50 years. And there ain’t looking to be any better options right now While worldwide Rare Earths deposits are expected to last 400 years. China just found another new RareEarth deposit expected to last 120 more years on top of that Plus when it comes to lithium and Nickel. China can replace the mining of those minerals through recycling within 25 years 👇 JANUARY 30, 2023 3 MIN READ China Invests $546 Billion in Clean Energy, Far Surpassing the U.S. China accounted for nearly half of the world's low-carbon spending in 2022, which could challenge U.S. efforts to bolster domestic clean energy manufacturing Nearly half of the world's low-carbon spending took place in China, according to a recent analysis from market research firm BloombergNEF. 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

  23.  @profounddamas  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

  26.  @PelleGIT  What most people Americans 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

  29.  @PelleGIT  no you don’t get it Chinese are trading with Countries who are growing in need of investment and goods and services Our Western Governments like the USA and EU are in China making the most profits inflating those Chinese export figures to the USA/EU and Also selling their goods to the domestic Chinese consumers 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.

  31.  @PelleGIT  technology from the west???? China leads in 37 of 44 critical technologies of the future That’s how narrow minded we westerners are…. as we concentrate on the 7 technologies the Chinese are behind in conveniently overlooking the 37 technologies they lead the world in Like Semiconductors where they are behind …. we require their lithography machines to be 100% homegrown Which the Chinese have a 100% domestically made 28nm lithography machines that they can do that proprietary quadruple patterning Yet the difference is that world leading Dutch ASML company, sources 85% of in the parts from around the world, that go into their lithography machines While the Chinese lithography machines are 100% domestically made these days Because that’s the criteria we imposed on them Yet we view that they are behind The Chinese had “virtually” no chip making ability/foundries 6 years ago thanks to the USA who did the job for the Chinese Where their Government was trying to get their people to switch to homegrown chips before the sanctions These days they are producing chips at par with the rest of the world and only behind Taiwan in the most advanced Chips And more importantly China is now expected to take over those legacy chip markets If the USA was smarter instead of cutting off China from semiconductor chips and equipment for manufacturing They should have themselves and their allies, lowered prices even more, and dump even more chips on China Instead their idea was to force the hand of Chinese people at the time content with cheap imported chips. Hope they could not innovate When there is now a 7 volume 27 book series on what China invented first that says the world copied from them And like I said China leads the world in 37 of the 44 critical technologies of the future 🙄 At one point China was importing over 300 billion in chips a year Now they will probably be exporting around 200 billion dollars worth of their own homegrown chips per year, within the products they export 👇 How Close Is China to World Dominance in Legacy Semiconductors? 27-02-2024 | By Paul Whytock * Bread and Butter Technology Obviously, China would like to be a major player when it comes to high-end sophisticated semiconductor devices, but that doesn’t mean they are not interested in the bread-and-butter end of the market, particularly when it comes to legacy products. In fact, they are very interested in the legacy market, and there are some very good reasons why. Legacy devices make up a huge amount of global chip sales. Most chips manufactured today are not advanced chips but legacy chips, and around 71% of devices * China's Aggressive Expansion in the Semiconductor Industry In September 2023, Reuters reported that China was set to launch a new state-backed fund aimed at raising about €43bn to support its chip industry, and according to research analysts, the Rhodium Group, in less than ten years, China is expected to domestically add nearly as much 50–180nm wafer manufacturing capacity as the rest of the World. The views of industry analysts and observers vary, but generally speaking, it’s thought that 22 wafer fabs are being built in the country, and there is an overall plan to create a total of 30 new wafer fabrication plants. Many of these will concentrate on the production of legacy devices. As for market share, industry intelligence gatherers Trendforce believe China’s legacy chip manufacturing base could provide as much as 30% of the global demand for older devices. ElectroPages
