  1. WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER THE GLOBAL HEGEMON you cant go around dictating terms to other countries without repercussions

  2. MY NEIGHBOR HAS A €28K Chinese crossover - is a "DONGFENG T5-EVO" Honestly it is AMAZING - leather seats, electric seats, 7sp automatic, 48mpg, and THE best paint job I have seen outside a classic car show, really next level - and it looks like a lamborghini urus

  3. 100% AGREE ABOUT THE CHART its absolutely terrible

  4. THE WAY THE US CHIPS ACT HAD FAILED is quite spectacular

  5. My first S Class Mercedes was a 1989. My last was a 2012. In that time almost every model was worse than the last for quality [the 1994 probably bing the BEST]. They changed from quality engineering to cheap electronic toys that very quickly stopped working. I literally gave away my last car, after 3 years of not using it so much didn't work it was not economical for me to repair it all. they poured their reputation for engineering excellence down the toilet.

  6.  @rogerstarkey5390  A LOT ARE - a recent study of from memory 138 Chn scientists selling up and moving back to Chn voulenterilly - racism and the current general culture of anti Chn sentiment was a major factor.

  7. My neighbour has a Dongfend Evo T5 small SUV - €28k, 4cyl 200bhp, 7sp auto, 48mpg, fill leather electric seats, 4 zone climate, the BEST paint job I have seen on a new car for 40 years, looks like a mini Lambo SUV. Incredibly build quality. I ahve not driven it but for €28 it is ASTONISHING

  8. YES and a lot of them are going "home" - if their studies were paid ofr the the Chn Gvt the deal is "come home is we need you" and Chn are starting to tell them to come home

  9. CHINESE CULTURE HAS THE BELIEF THAT KNOWLEDGE IS THE PROPERTY OF MANKIND this does not sit with the Western culture of "This is exclusively mine to profit from" I learned this on a degree program about ancient Chinese philosophy and always wondered how it manifested in the modern world.

  10. One of my neighbours has a brand new Dongfeng Forthing evo t5 - its a €25k mid sised SUV. The build quality is shockingly good. Its as good as a €60k Mercedes only the paint finish is better. Ive not seen a paint finish as good outside a classic car show.

  11. ASML are moving to France which is less inclined to bow the knee to the US. And they said if the US go after the French govt, they will relocate to China.

  12. China is 55% of their business. The US is 5%
    32
  13. BRITISH PERSON HERE The reason HS2 rail is SO expensive is because its going through WEALTHY areas and they don't want it and don't want to see it and they can afford great lawyers to stop it. They have had to make vast stretch of ut underground to satisfy the rich people
    30
  14. I think ASML are being very VERY optimistic there - I think its more like 5 years. This is largely because ASML are unable to invest as much in R&D due to lower revenue as a result of not being able to sell to China and China having essentially unlimited R&D budget.

  15.  @michaele4830  TBH the US usually steals the idea or the US govt funds the research/ US businesses almost never come up with a good idea. But they are good at commercialising other peoples ideas - or they are when there is no competition
    29
  16. Here i Bulgaria we have $12k EV's and the $28k one my neighbour has got looks as good as a BMW or Merc for build quality, staggering how good it is
    28
  17. Dont worry bud, neither can the UK, my home country. Its so embarrassing. We have to face facts, the UK [ and the west in general ] cant make anything. If the UK want a high speed railway, just get the Chinese to build it - at least we GET a railway.
    26
  18. That is NOT the Am3ric4n way
    25
  19. "ITS MORE IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND CHINA" 4 years ago I did the first year of a degree program in Ancient Chinese Philosophy - I immediately realised you can NOT understand China without knowing Chinese philosophy and you can NOT understand Chinese manufacturing unless you understand China. If you think about China or Chinas manufacturing with Western mind - you will be completely wrong. What shocks me is how many US leaders have ZERO idea about China.

  21. My father is a BAD person. But he is an astonishing scholar of history and geopolitics and he predicted pretty much everything that has come to pass. And he predicted it in the 70's and 80's.

  22. Former S CLass Mercedes driver for 25 years - My neighbour has a BYD something - its along name I cant remember - its shockingly good, better than Tesla, maybe not as good as Polstar?!?!? But he paid €28k for it not €78k

  23. IN Q1 2025 LESS THAN 50% of global trade settlements were in the $USD "OTHER" is now the largest international currency for the first time since WW2

  25. The Chinese had published books of building regulations 1,200 years ago whilst we were literally making mud huts.

  26.  @huskywr240  I 100% agree. None of this is for the benefit of the E U or the other countries you have the bases in, its for the benefit of the U S

  27.  @joelturley4847  BRICS is 37% of global GDP - the G7 is 29%. In 1985 the G7 was 75% of global GDP. In 2022 BRICS was 33% of global GDP - now what were you saying about the loser club...???

  28. Am3ric4 is going to whine and cry and throw its toys out of the pram something rotten
    14
  29. HAHAHHHAHAHA
    14
  30. WE DONT BUILD CARS PEOPLE WANT we build cars bosses and shareholders want to sell - vastly over prices massive SUV's Even the Am3ric4ns are getting sick of them
    13
  31.  @fannyalbi9040  But its not though is it - thats just half of it the rest is context and facts about China.

  32. ME - "OHH charts!!!" :-D

  33.  @Justspinwin  Im not complaining - just saying that is happening thats all

  34. I had a doctor who was clearly on his 2nd day without a shower or sleep misdiagnosed me as having a ruptured liver - it turned out to be my throat bleeding. I had ruptured blood vessels from coughing. It had no consequences for me but it goes to show you...

  35. THE WORLDS NO 1 SELLING CHIP is the 8051 Microcontroller - an 8 bit chip used to control everything from washing machines to car engines NOT the NVIDIA H100

  36. Well thats the thing about those leopards - they do be hungry

  37.  @kevintewey1157  Have you tries MOONSOT's "Kimi". its what Google should be if they made it better instead of worse. I LOVE it. Another Chinese AI.

  38.  @chunniu3936  - Subcontract it to the Chinese, at least it will be functional.
    10
  39.  @nanyanguo1  Actually if you read down my comments - its BOTH. Chn is recalling its chip design PhD's. But also many scientists are leaving as they dont like the current climate in the country.

  40. They have created a perenial rice - you dont ahve to re plant it. It grows every year from the old plant. Imagine the labour and energy saving in that. The also have dry rice, does not need the fields to be flooded.

  41.  @babahanuman83  Unlike Am3ric4 Europe has a choice, it will likely screw it up, mostly because it does what the US tells it. But Europe manufactures the world's luxury goods and people in the emerging empires want those goods. If the EU unhitches itself from the US and concentrates on making luxury goods it has a bright future as it will rise alongside the rising nations. But the US has a zero sum view and if it cant be No1 NO ONE CAN The sanctions on Russia were to hurt the EU not Russia.

  42.  @marcc1830  REALLY bad graphic - lie one of those colour blindness tests
    7
  43.  @AnotherExtraFist  BINGO a person who understands that the US needs the EU and Russia at war to make the EU dependent on the US and not a competitor - which it would be if it had access to the Russian mineral and energy reserves.

  44. Thats not true.

  45. FOR 100 YEARS THE U S HAS OFFERED THE WORLD 8OM8S AND DEBT now China is offering trade and infrastructure and the U S has NO way of countering that

  46.  @hungrysurfer9471  Yeah but there agin - dont invade Ukraine
    4
  47.  @FunnyBunny-pd5xx  No problem. I'm no fan of NATO and especially Am3ric4. And I blame the US for the war. But Russia DID have the choice to not invade, hundreds of people have been unlived, cities ruined, farm land unfit to be farmed for human food due to the contamination. It did NOT need to happen. NATO did this, Am3ric4 did that but ultimately Russia sent the tanks across the border...

  48. QUESTION....!?!?!? Do you think China will buy all Columbia's Coffee and Oil now Trump has blackmailed Columbia with tariffs...??? Columbia's coffee is among the best in the world and there is a coffee shortage in China I believe?

  49. OH the U5A will be angry if it cant bully you, thats what it likes to do

  50. China is a 3000 year old country fully PLANNING to be here in another 3000 years Am3ric4 is a 250 year old country planning to make a profit next quarter
