  1. US: "No bread for you" China: "No flour for you"
    416
  2. Now the Chinese will have absolutely no reason to share this technology with the US. Another shotgun meets foot moment for the US...🤣
    277
  3. It would be easier for Europe to stop pissing off Russia and China so they can buy from them at the lowest possible price, but European vassals have decided to just go down the economic drain to please their US masters...🤣
    236
  4. China is not splitting the global market, it's the west that's splitting the global market. However the outcome you predict is absolutely correct...🤣
    177
  5. Canada does whatever the US wants, even at the detriment of Canada, because they don't want to upset the trade relationship they have with the US...🤣
    169
  6. China is not messing around this time with Trump and his tariff nonsense...🤪
    166
  7. John Deere could be selling a boatload of cotton pickers in Xinjiang, but you can thank the US government for putting the kibosh on that...🤣
    135
  8. With E-bikes you also don't need a drivers license, registration, insurance, property tax, fuel, expensive maintenance, etc...:text-green-game-over:
    124
  9. You're back!!! Was afraid something happened courtesy of the US government...🤣
    116
  10. I don't blame them from escaping a hostile US environment plus the center of innovation is shifting to China. Researchers go where the research is, plain and simple.
    104
  11. I'm all in for deep cuts in military spending for that cesspool of colonial imperialism.
    96
  12.  @hanzohattori9576  US became an empire in 1900 when they simultaneously seized the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Cuba from the Spanish and metastasized into a global superpower in 1946. By that metric the empire is 124 years old, which I agree is extremely fast for its decline.
    92
  13. China: "No more soup for you, next..."🤣
    91
  14. US government has the insane idea that dragging China down to the detriment of world technological advancement is somehow beneficial...🤣
    82
  15. This is great news since it means no war in the South China Sea, unless the US Navy wants a whole bunch of new coral reefs...🤣
    80
  16. With an annual GDP growth of 9.5% we now know the reason western governments and the media have been pushing hard on the "Free Tibet" nonsense again...🤣
    78
  17. "India is the graveyard of corporations" is a phrase that refers to India's history of regulating foreign companies, such as Chinese, Amazon, Walmart, Vodafone, Nokia, Samsung, and Google. These companies have faced regulatory setbacks or been subject to large fines in the Indian market." - India’s crackdown on Chinese phone makers is just the first step in its economic development strategy, Liu Zongyi, South China Morning Post, June 27, 2023
    78
  18. Another shotgun meets foot moment for the US...🤣
    76
  19. The hilarious part is that Ericsson and Nokia could not capitalize on this even with the US jackboot on Huawei and ZTE...🤣
    76
  20. When you have 10x the number of engineers in their twenties and thirties tackling the problem why would anyone think otherwise...:text-green-game-over:
    71
  21. China has underwater mountains in the South China Sea to chase away US submarines...🤣
    68
  22. Indonesia banned the export of raw nickel last year, so China shifted processing to Indonesia since they have the capital and efficient processing knowledge. Jokowi spearheaded the Chinese investment program and it will continue under Subianto. Bongbong is smoking some good stuff if he thinks the US will do the same for the Philippines...🤣
    67
  23. Once again a US "shotgun meets foot" moment...🤣

  24. "Our fiscal deficit, the Titanic" - The iceberg is getting closer and closer while Washington re-arranges the deck chairs...🤣

  25. Now you know why US nominal GDP is so high. It's all smoke and mirrors...🤣

  26. Sheinbaum, like AMLO, is all about the well-being of Mexico and its people. She's not going to stop the Chinese gravy train to please some gringos up north...:text-green-game-over:
    48
  27. Western media implemented the "Ostrich Policy" when it comes to BRICS+...🤣
    45
  28. US: No bread for you. China: No flour for you.
    43
  29.  @felixsu375  By then the Chinese will have moved on to something more advanced while the US plays catch-up. Best option of course would be to work together, but the choice was made by the US not to and so they'll have to live with the consequences.
    43
  30. China is also using less and producing more with AI projects like DeepSeek-V3, which is an open source MoE that's better than GPT-4o at one tenth the price...👀
    39
  31. Paying more for less. It's the American, and Canadian, way...🤣
    38
  32. In ten years the US will be living in a technological ghetto...🤣
    37
  33. The reason is that legacy car manufacturers are holding on to the ICE ecosystem for as long as they can. Other than brakes and tires EVs need very little maintenance and electrical components tend to fail much less frequently than mechanical ones. Therefore auto repairs, oil changes, maintenance, etc all goes out the window when converting to EVs...:text-green-game-over:
    34
  34. Both sides aren't buying consumer drones anymore. They're buying Chinese components, 3D printing the chassis and propellers, and assembling them because it's even cheaper.
    34
  35. "World's ugliest chart.." - This made my day...🤪
    31
  36.  @peanut0brain  Huawei is actually employee owned, which is even better since everyone their has a stake in the company...:face-blue-smiling:
    31
  37. Tsinghua University better watch out so Stanford University doesn't steal their AI code again. Tsinghua was pretty smart and peppered their code to identify rare bamboo slips from the Warring States Period that was not publicly available. Stanford got caught with their hand in the cookie jar...🤣
    31
  38. The best option for the US is to allow the Chinese manufactures to produce the cars in the US with locally sourced components to compete with Tesla and other manufacturers like they do in China. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Outright banning them will only stagnant the US auto industry with no innovation due to lack of competition. In the end all you will get is higher prices and inferior products.
    28
  39. If the US starts to build out their capacity to produce gallium nitride the Chinese could just flood the market and drive them out of business. Rinse, lather, repeat...🤣
    27
  40.  @peanut0brain  It's going to get a lot more expensive for the US to borrow come Monday morning...🤣
    27
  41.  @rodiculous9464  Chinese are good at building to contract. Want cheap? You get cheap quality. Want good quality? You get good quality, but you pay more. Pretty simple...😎
    27
  42. Many of these big brains in the US don't go into the sciences field and do researcher because the money and opportunities are limited. Instead they go into finance so they can develop algorithms that can beat the market.
    26
  43. As usual Kevin gives us the inside story without fail.
    25
  44. Our politicians will not be listening to us any time soon...🤣
    25
  45. VW didn't seem to have that "mystical value" with the recent TDI scandal...🤣
    25
  46. "A lot of our supply comes from India and China..." - and India imports the majority of the APIs from China...🤣
    24
  47. Won't be able to cooperate with Chinese manufacturers when the hardware and software is banned. Galapagos model for the US automotive industry courtesy of US lawmakers...🤣

  51. How quickly you forgot about Iraq...🤣

  52. Highly recommend OnePlus. I have a OnePlus 7 Pro and it works flawless even after 4+ years plus Oxygen OS is way better then Samsung's bloatware filled UI...🤣

  54. China's LLM AI must be pretty advanced if you got Stanford University researchers copying code from Tsinghua University and trying to past it off as their own...🤣
    17
  55. Manufacturers will produce until marginal revenue equals marginal cost. There's no overcapacity because manufacturers would not produce if marginal cost was greater than marginal revenue. Economics 101.

  56.  @marcusclarkson5520  Jack Ma tried to set up a parallel banking system outside of the state led one. He's lucky he only got a reprimand.

  57. At least in the end she admitted her mistake. Way better than most of the Biden brain trust entourage...🤣

  58.  @jasonb444  The unprovoked invasion is only if you ignore everything else before that...🤣
    15
  59. Elon is now wrong on at least two things with EVs. Batteries and FDS with no LiDAR...🤪
    15
  60. Once again I will repeat that in 5-10 years the US will be living in a technological ghetto...🤣
    15
  61. Best thing is to demand that Chinese manufacturers produce the batteries and EVs in the US with locally sourced components. US going their own way is just a disaster waiting to happen.
    14
  62. Second Dongfang Hour. Blaine knows his sh*t and does an excellent job.
    14
  63. In today's world there's no way to have an independent supply chain due to China's dominance in the industry. It's best to partner with China for local production so at least the materials and manufacturing stay within Australia.
    14
  64.  @GreenIslandWoodworks  China is not dependent on food imports and their next store neighbor has all the raw materials they could possibly want. Cope harder...🤣
    13
  65. Have you seen the forex for the Yen lately?

  66. ​ @gelinrefira  When your system is based on a popularity contest instead of on merit don't be surprised of the results...🤣
    13
  67. Europe is tapped out and Japanese Yen is nearing record highs against the USD. You can only whip your vassals so much to pick up the slack...🤣
    13
  68. US Treasuries are now being purchased by private foreign investors because of the high interest rates they're currently getting. According to economist Phillip Pilkington these investors, unlike purchases by foreign governments, are rate sensitive. Therefore once yields drop due to a recession foreign investors will stop buying them forcing the US trade deficit to close and US living standards to fall.
    13
  69. The reason they didn't move them to Hong Kong is that with a stroke of a pen that special status of Hong Kong can be revoked.
    12
  70. You could also say the same thing about semiconductors. Oh wait, isn't that what the Chinese are doing?🤣
    12
  71. Last western media report I saw on Indonesia was pushing the "at what cost" meme over the Jakarta-Bandung high speed rail project...🤣

  74.  @rap3208  If you have to hobble the competition than you're really not number one. You'll always be second because you've never reached the level needed to be number one...🤣
    11
  75. In a decade? We're already there. The average vehicle on the road in the US is 13 years old, which is up from 7 years old in the 1990s...:text-green-game-over:
    11
  76. Did you know per capita Canada has higher C02 emissions than China?🤣
    11
  77. People complain that China is not doing enough with counter sanctions, but if you look at game theory the best strategy is usually tit-for-tat. It's the conservative move, and that's what the Chinese have been applying.
    11
  78. See what happens when you throw Ricardo's comparative advantage out the window. It comes back to bite you...🤣

  79. Paying more for less. It's the American way...🤣

  80.  @marcusclarkson5520  So a good thing is when the banking system runs the government and gets a bailout for speculative derivative investments? More "liberated" for the banks, not so much for the people who get the bill...🤣

  81. "China is still behind the US in technology." - Except in 5G, high speed rail, nuclear fusion, NEVs, solar and wind power, etc...🤣

  83. "Now China is the world's factory, China is the world's biggest creditor nation..." and the US wants to tear it all down instead of letting China help mankind. Think about that for a moment.

  84. Paying more for less, it's the American way...🤣

  85. China now has a hypersonic drone that will make fighter aircraft obsolete...🤣

  86. You're confusing Japan with China. You know there's a difference between Asian countries...🤣

  87. You do realize that George Lucas is on record stating that Star Wars is based on the Vietnam War with the US being the evil empire and the Vietnamese resistance as the rebels?
    9
  88.  @magnaviator  Stanford University researchers got caught lifting code from a Tsinghua University project. There's an article in the SCMP explaining everything.

  89. You could make them dormitories, but that's about it.
    8
  90.  @natel9019  Of course it matters since the products at higher prices are not competitive on the world market. Unless you have a monopoly or oligopoly the product with the lowest price will always prevail on undifferentiated goods. Economics 101...🤣

  93. Huh? You don't potable water for batteries. Plenty in the ocean that only needs to be desalinized to acceptable levels.
    8
  94. Huawei was able to use the open source version of Android, but Google Mobile Services (GMS) were blocked due to US sanctions.
    8
  95. China, unlike the USSR, is an open society since its citizens can freely travel and conduct trade with the majority of the world. Attempts to create blocs will only sow divisions and the US could find themselves in a much smaller bloc because they really have nothing to offer.
    8
  96. One minor correction. Auto manufacturers like GM sell your data to companies like LexisNexis, who in turn sells that data to insurance companies. In any case Boomers don't buy new cars since they drive way less, so no great loss to Chinese manufacturers.

  100.  @UpsideDown-e2d  DeepSeek-V3 did rely on less powerful Nvidia chips, but developers have made the model compatible with Huawei's Ascend platform...
    7
  101. When China is on par with other semiconductor manufacturers, which is only a matter of time, China will also use subsidies and their cost will be 50% of the US subsidized price...🤣
    7
  102.  @hclau218  There's nothing wrong with subsidizing nascent technologies to promote certain industries for economic growth, environmental concerns, or even self-reliance. The problem with the US is that they're giving subsidies to mature profitable companies to move production to the US, which completely distorts the semiconductor market.
    7
  103.  @GregDeman  US only has 1,200 soldiers in Syria. At it's peak the US had 170,000 in Iraq, which would be considered an entire army...😎

  104. If China stole the technology from Boeing the wheels and doors would be falling off...🤣
    7
  105. No, they'll till the crops under and get subsidies from the government.

  106. China already has the Shenyang WS-20 and the CJ-1000A is in late stage developement with a certification target of 2025. These are facts that can be easily verified...😎
    7
  107.  @coliv2  So the US has two possible outcomes: a) Recession hits, rates reduced, foreign investor flee, and US living standards fall due to the closing trade deficit. b) Recession hits, rates the same, foreign investors do not flee, and US living standards fall due to a devalued currency.
    7
  108. Because in the US they make policy first, then find experts to validate that policy. It's the reason those getting it so wrong keep coming back...🤣

  109. ​ @rtzx12570  Did I say Indonesia stopped the export of processed nickel?🙄

  110. US scores its own goal, again...🤡

  111. Nobody is buying the neutered Nvidia chip except Alibaba and the reason is that they already have a large array of non neutered chips obtained before the sanctions. These new chips are only to expand their existing CUDA environment.

  114.  @firstlast-pt5pp  Not really. Buy a pre-made circuit board then load with a firmware like Ardupilot, which is popular and open source. Done.
    6
  115.  @obiwan5781  Indonesia did this with their ban on raw nickel export. Now refining occurs in Indonesia with a partnership that includes Chinese companies. Australia could have a similar outcome with rare earth refining. What where you saying about garbage?🤡
    6
  116. These tariffs serve a multi-purpose function as follows: 1) It allows the EU to give deference to the US in their hybrid war with China. 2) It generates revenue for the EU since we all know the end customer pays the tariff. 3) It doesn't exclude Chinese manufacturers who will just set up shop in Europe or some other tariff free zone. 4) It doesn't promote massive retaliation from China since the tariffs are not outrageous and punitive like US tariffs. 5) It allows the EU to keep their zero emissions goals with somewhat of a delay.

  123.  @TheGreatAmphibian  This entire argument hinges on the assumption the Chinese will not be able to build their own lithography equipment. Based on technological accomplishments in the last few years plus their gigantic pool of talent it's a fool's bet to believe lithography will be the only hurdle China will not overcome.
    5
  124. First...
    5
  125.  @mingouczjcz3800  Costs will increase, however the savings will be greater than a complete ban of Chinese EV imports. It allows the US auto industry to continue with new competitors and better products. It's about striking a balance, which is a win-win for everyone.
    5
  126.  @mingouczjcz3800  Of course there would be savings because Chinese manufacturers are more efficient. Elon Musk has been incorporating Chinese manufacturing processes from Tesla Shanghai to Tesla Fremont because Shanghai is way more efficient. This isn't an assumption, it's a proven fact.

  137.  @marcusclarkson5520  I suggest you work on your own country's problems since China doesn't have an inflation issue and appears to be doing okay. Income is up, exports are up, property prices have stabilized, and all other metrics look pretty reasonable. I don't think China should take any advice from someone in a country that's screwed up as bad as you say.
    4
  138.  @ZweiZwolf  That's perfectly fine since it falls under the USMCA. However since EVs are highly automated you could have the factory in the US and the labor difference would be minimal. Everything needs to be taken in account before choosing a site for production.

  158.  @GreenIslandWoodworks  "China is the world's largest producer of main agricultural products, for instance, rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits, and tea. Although China's population takes up only 18% of the world’s total, its production figures for various agricultural products in 2020 exceeded this percentage. To illustrate, China accounted for 28% of global rice production, 18% of global wheat production, more than 50% of global vegetable production, nearly 50% of global tea production, almost 40% of global pork production, 35% of global egg production, and over 50% of global aquatic product production." Professor Huang Jikun of Peking University China's only main food import is soybeans, which are mostly used for livestock feed. China imports 85% of all their soybeans, so any "food security" issue in reality is a soybean security issue. Facts and figures from a prominent university professor with a CV a mile long versus a bunch of poli-sci majors on the payroll of weapons manufacturers...🤣

You have to remember that Audi and Porsche production numbers are not that high, so it doesn't make economic sense to produce them in the US.

  169.  @TheGreatAmphibian  Chinese firm Energy Singularity just built the world's first fully high-temperature superconducting tokamak device and according to a recent report the Chinese are 10-15 years ahead of the US in nuclear fission energy. A decade ago they were 10-15 years behind the US. China speed is real and it will be applied to the manufacturing of semiconductors because there's no alternative.
    3
  170.  @TheGreatAmphibian  The Chinese bought the components because it would be easier to certify the aircraft for international flights. China already builds their own military aircraft with 100% indigenous components, so the argument they don't have the technology is moot. The aircraft is globally competitive as they have sold units outside of China. The Chinese will develop semiconductor technology at a faster pace because there's no alternative, it's pretty much guaranteed.
    3
  171.  @TheGreatAmphibian  Once again it was a choice to buy the components internationally instead of producing them so the aircraft can be certified much easier. No commercial aircraft manufacturer produces all their components domestically, which includes Boeing and Airbus. The reason the aircraft has not been sold outside more extensively is because the aircraft is not certified to fly passengers outside of China due to a lack of airworthiness certification from regulators in the U.S. and Europe. You keep making these same accusations over and over again ignoring the reality of the situation. It's like arguing with a child...🤣

Reason is because the domestic producer can make short term profits without the cost of ramping up production to meet demand.

The end result is a gain for the government, a gain for domestic producers, a loss in consumption, and a loss for consumers. International Economics 101.

In any case if the action is deemed legal it's still called predatory pricing.

We haven't even mentioned maintenance, which by using industry standard components allows certified technicians to work on these aircraft without re-certification.

  286. Infrastructure like the 7.5 billion the Biden administration spent which resulted in the construction of a total of 7 charging piles or the Tesla charging cables stolen for the copper at a San Francisco location? The US had 20 plus years to develop a charging network and still only has 165,000 piles. Guess how many China has? 1.8 million and growing at an exponential rate. The US will never be ready until the price of gasoline goes beyond 10.00 a gallon. At that point there's going to be a mad dash for EVs, and take a guess who will have the innovation and production capability to supply all the EVs and all the infrastructure needed?🤣

  287. MMwave signal is basically line of sight and can be blocked by walls and even glass partitions. You're going to need twice as many base stations to get the same coverage plus you can forget about rural installations. That's not going to happen any time soon.

  288.  @phlei95014  Having advanced features with restrictive limitations presents an issue of cost versus coverage. China's solution was to provide the most cost effective and comprehensive coverage using the mid-band solution (3 to 8.5 GHz). If wireless operators can't reach scale within a wider area then these advanced features aren't going to become mainstream. It's the Betamax versus VHS argument, and we all know how that ended.

  289.  @phlei95014  With what? ORAN? It's never going to materialize. Didn't Huawei sue Verizon for patent infringement. You know Verizon settled out of court, which tells you the strength of their case, even in a US courtroom. Anyhow you're a serpentza fanboi, so that pretty much tells everyone what they need to know...🤣

  293.  @Jeff.55649  In any case Kevin already did a video about the UBS report with a tear-down of a BYD Seal. The UBS report conclusion was the car was better, cheaper, and had state of the art technology that was not available from legacy OEM manufacturers. Levels of dumb indeed...🤡

  294.  @Jeff.55649  Also I know the car you get from your work is a lease because purchased vehicles have a 5 year depreciation schedule...🤣

  302. China shows up to these Africa countries and pulls the copper out of the ground for their production, which puts money in the pockets of African governments. Why would any African nation allow the US to invest with no production and vague promises of future production?

  306.  @bracesforme3  US government would need to subsidize these companies forever since they will never be competitive. Now imagine this scenario across hundreds of different supply chains that China has monopoly power?:text-green-game-over:

  307.  @bracesforme3  None will catch up since China has monopoly power and can control price and quantity supplied. Economics 101...🤣
    1
  308.  @bracesforme3  There's no economic incentive for businesses to make investments into production since they can buy at the lowest price from China. The only way China can lose their monopoly power is to increase the price or decrease quantity supplied where is becomes economically viable to produce these, but then we are back to my original post...🤣
    1
  309.  @bracesforme3  Japan now has increased costs, which reduces competitiveness, and still has a 58% reliance on China for those materials. China sold the remaining 32% to other markets. Commodities are fungible and just flow to other buyers who will now enjoy a competitive advantage...🤣

  310.  @bracesforme3  Control you? Was it not the US that decided to ban advanced semiconductors in the first place? What's good for the goose...🤣

  311.  @bracesforme3  Switching to the control argument because you lost the economic one?🤣

  312.  @bracesforme3  False equivalence since China is only retaliating. Maybe the US should take their complaint to the WTO?🤣

  316.  @bracesforme3  "Because the US is already paying to start their own supply chain." - Once again the US government would need to subsidize these companies forever since they will never be competitive. This is basic economics taught in high schools and universities around the world. It's not very difficult to understand...🤣

  322. The people implementing these policies can't be that stupid. Therefore the only rational explanation is that these tariffs, sanctions, fees, etc... are just stealth taxes to fleece the average American. Why make your affluent constituents bear a tax burden when you can shift it onto the public instead?

  325. Eric Li in his discussions and presentations always illustrates that China is weak on the value chain and missing out on the bulk of profits. I believe this is why the west is so hell bent on degrading China's progress. Western attitude is "how dare they not know their place in the production cycle. We make the profits, you do the grunt work"...🤣

  326.  @Usericon-nw899fp  China is behind the US in some areas while the US is behind China in other areas. Instead of making this a silly tech race the US and China should work together so these advances can benefit all of mankind...😎

  329. US Treasuries are now being purchased by private foreign investors because of the high interest rates they're currently getting. According to economist Phillip Pilkington these investors, unlike purchases by foreign governments, are rate sensitive. Therefore once yields drop due to a recession foreign investors will stop buying them forcing the US trade deficit to close and US living standards to fall.

  335.  @bungkusi2432  I guess not being able to afford the medication will solve the upcoming Social Security deficit problem?

  336.  @bungkusi2432  Hubris will do that when making decisions. Eventually they'll learn some humility, hopefully before the economy is turned to dust...🤣

  338. Outbound cargo shipping costs would just increase to cover the cost of the port fees. Did anyone think these ships go back empty?🤣

  339. Even if this proposal doesn't pass just the idea is persuading the next generation of Chinese researchers not to include the US as a destination for their work, so the damage is already done.

  341.  @dragonchaw6732  BYD is an innovative company. From their Blade batteries to the DM-i platform the company is revolutionizing the industry. BYD is what Henry Ford and the Model T was in 1908, which is a disruptive technology that will change the automotive landscape forever.

  342. The reason it's on the front page of the WSJ is because the US is not going to war with China. It's all posturing to make China capitulation to US demands, which is not going to happen any time soon...🤪

  344. ISS in reality is Russian since the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) controls navigation, propulsion, and life support. It's reason why the Russians weren't kicked out of the ISS...🤣

  345.  @hclau218  China already subsidized the semiconductor industry from a 1.2 trillion technology budget allocation over the next 10 years. This information is readily available from the Chinese government. They're called government guidance funds [政府引导基金]. I've engaged my brain...🤣

  353. What this means is that the rest of the world will be getting affordable state of the art EVs along with all the infrastructure needed from China while the US gets expensive legacy ICEs that drink dead dinosaur juice along with all the pollution and climate change it come with. Paying more for less, it's the American way...🤣

  356.  @ZweiZwolf  An application was never tested in a court of law as an issue of national security. However source code as free speech has been tested in a court of law against the US government argument of national security and the US government lost (Bernstein v. United States).

  358. From the Asia Times article: "Without a surge in STEM grads, the right thing becomes a more bitter pill to swallow – it would require the US to allow Chinese EV makers to build factories and perhaps R&D centers in America." - I posted something similar a few weeks ago and was attacked in the comments. Feels nice to be vindicated...🤣
