Comments by "Sciagurrato" (@sciagurrato1831) on "Inside China Business" channel.

  1. Any actions taken — not only by China but by any nation — to stifle the military might of the US is to be respected and supported.
    758
  2. Kevin once again makes an original point (I don’t see it anywhere else): is China that stupid? Is the West smarter than China? “The most recent data point is the best unbiased predictor of the next value” (week 1, university statistics). Macro Polo (“Marco-Macro”, get it?) is just another unreliable, politically-affected “research” organizations. Worth looking at it, but certainly not paying for it. Better to hire a smart analyst with the requisite technical background and a native speaker/writer of Chinese. From my experience, everything that Kevin says about local/central relationships is accurate. In fact, Kevin is the #1 channel on YT in this area.

  3. “If we had any factories…” brutal. Maybe start counting yoga studios as factories.
    90
  4. “Supply chain” for a US politician means drugs or money or…worse.
    81
  5. DeepSeek v3 is a stunning development The big western players are agog.
    76
  6. Every new video from Kevin addresses a distinct and often overlooked issue in China global business. Unlike most other channels, he never repeats himself. Kevin rules. Kevin rules with absolute authority.
    71
  7. Ex-Wall Streeter here. Your channel is the most astute one out there — notwithstanding the paltry number of viewers. Keep it up.
    66
  8. Kevin, indeed this will be a case study within a decade. I went to a B-school that relied on the case study method, and I can remember clearly the 5 series cases on MITI (Japan). These cases were pre-Plaza Accord. The US used the same playbook — without realizing that, although they may look the same, the Chinese are not the Japanese and have never been.
    62
  9. A good comment. Another example, prior to the entry of Chinese manufacturers, a burr grinder for coffee beans cost > $200. You can buy an excellent grinder today for $50 or less.
    60
  10. Deere deserves to be part of history — the history of American companies going belly up. American farmers deserve the right to buy the right equipment they need at terms that they can agree.
    57
  11. Kevin is peerless in the range and depth of his research and its relevance for global geopolitics. There is no one else delivering this information, anywhere.
    56
  12. “Agressive” and “arrogant” are mere appearances. The inner core is far darker.
    55
  13. Shocking that the Taiwanese pager manufacturer seems to be cool about their exploding products.
    54
  14.  @cheekeongchan6605  evidence that the circle of silence is the circle of collaborators
    54
  15. Don’t know how much mod brilliant insights you can come up with. You have more knowledge (and insights) into global manufacturing and trade than the entire staff of the Financial Times.
    52
  16. You must be kidding. You think the West’s apologies are sincere? “oh, sorry about that opium war thing….anyways, you have Hong Kong back, right? No harm, no foul…”
    45
  17. For the safety and security of passengers.
    43
  18. Kevin’s videos have the highest signal-to-noise ratios, when time is considered, of any YTs. Currently unsubscribing from channels which only publish videos >30-35 minutes. Poor use of time and mental bandwidth especially channels with excessive ads.
    43
  19. It’s not surprising that their primary concern is their citizens. What’s truly amazing, truly remarkable, is that they believe that others can share in China’s prosperity. It’s not only the difference between finance-based capitalism and productive capitalism, but also between the zero-sum game the west plays and Chinese philosophical beliefs.
    41
  20. The standard paradigm for project analysis taught in business schools for at least 50 years is ROI (Return on Investment). When the ROI exceeds the target investor requirement (the “hurdle rate”), the project may proceed on a financial basis (though there are other issues as well). The point is: why are ROIs so high for western investors? Answer: because the financial return (ROI) is the only consideration. There are no other considerations. Where did this idea come from? China’s analysis is distinct. The investor’s return is not the priority of the project. There are many other variables which need optimization, including the benefits to society as a whole. The western analysis will always lead to increasing income inequality. Never to the benefit of society as a whole.
    41
  21. The breadth of your coverage of business in China is without equal. Every viewer here should share these videos and build up this richly deserving channel. I’ve never heard Kevin ask for money — he deserves our complete support.
    34
  22.  @chaoskid1211 how’s your check from T Aviv?
    33
  23. Libya, anyone remember? God remembers.
    32
  24. Where are your minions? You can’t possibly be turning out this meany high information videos at this speed without a team. A shoutout to them wherever they are.
    32
  25.  @yunko9369 a close study of US/UK history will show these are not honorable cultures.
    31
  26. Even the tabloid the Financial Times was forced to admit last week that there is no evidence of valuable minerals in Ukraine — unless you believe a brief Soviet era study — lol. At least the dwarf didn’t sign illegally to anything before he was given the hook.
    31
  27. Excellent summary which people should take the time to read.
    28
  28.  @ckokloong Argentina has massive IMF/World Bank loans, overwhelmingly in USD. Get informed.
    25
  29. Highly educational video about topics which are well hidden and thus not well understood. Question: the huge long position in USD, however, is at risk of effective “real” devaluation by the US, is that not correct?
    24
  30. Another informative short video from Kevin. He provides more insight into business, technology and manufacturing in China in one week than the Financial Times (FT) does in a year. There was a day when the FT was useful — today it’s a good source of Kylie Minogue reviews (such as today) or information about women’s wrestling international conferences.
    24
  31. Not an accident that US produce/grain/dairy/poultry/meat prices have increased enormously. It’s merely price fixing/control by the finance sector to support new funding rounds for a preferred sector.
    23
  32. Arrogance is a feature, not the driver, particularly in Japan (if you’ve done any business there — I saw it in the early 90s on regularly trips). For US executives, if a CEO could be paid $20 million without rocking the boat, the answer is simple. With 0% interest rates -> stock buyback -> full bonuses -> golden parachute if anything breaks.
    23
  33.  @moreless2690 the Chinese state since the fourth century BCE has supported education as state policy. The idea that the government should support education for everyone has only developed in the last century, and due credit to Maria Montessori for making the general population aware of its importance. Western governments have historically supported “literacy”, but only as a utilitarian goal — for example, so that factory workers can read basic instructions. The elites could benefit from education, it was not important to everyone or society as a whole. Today, in the US in particular, goals of basic literacy now seem unattainable. Why does it surprise anyone that China surpasses the West?
    22
  34.  @keepingittight the secret of porcelain was guarded by China. The greatest courts in Europe (Augustus the Strong in Saxony) tried in vain to discover the secret of making porcelain. The monopoly by China was broken by a Korean who revealed to the west that the secret base was kaolin clay. Modern China maintains its expertise and leadership in advanced ceramic science. Europe believes it can lead the world in semiconductor chips. As in the past, it greatly underestimates China’s capabilities, built over centuries. And it overestimates Europe’s own expertise. We shall see.
    22
  35. The wide scope of Kevin’s discussions never cease to amaze. This Bitcoin discussion — in the context of China’s dominance of rigs — is fascinating in the extreme. Reminds of his video on Tether.
    22
  36. “The greatest money concentration is that which arises from rentier capitalism”.
    21
  37. A close technological collaboration between India and US is an enormously positive outcome for…China, Russia and Iran.
    20
  38. Kevin is a truly an evolved member of humanity.
    20
  39. Eye-popping information! There are at least four major topics discussed here. I’m sure Navarro is very dependent on you.
    20
  40. 2/6/25: major US tech doubling down on their current capital-intensive strategy. Why? Prof Richard A Murphy understands. High costs for the ‘Mag7’ are the only way to drive further wealth concentration into the tech oligarchy.
    20
  41. Kevin, you’re one of the first — if not the first YT channel — to point out the disparities in market rates of sovereign borrowers. In every beginning finance course, the US Treasury borrows at what is defined as the “risk free rate” — everyone else borrows at “premium” rates above the UST. When basic finance assumptions are upended, you know there is some “serious sxxx going on out there”.
    18
  42. Not a mystery. Elected representatives of the US government serve their campaign donors. Once you figure out where the “donations” come from, you’ll solve the mystery of why dual citizens in Congress is increasing (as with Argentina).
    18
  43. Kevin is in a class by himself. Instead of puffed up daily videos > one hour on just one topic, he creates concise videos across an enormous range of topics. Minute for minute, his videos are the best on the net.
    17
  44. They’re winning, but it’s the booby prize. West only throws boomerangs.
    17
  45. The Fannie and Ginny Mae’s are agency obligations — not direct obligations (“full faith and credit”) of the federal government. Prices have always traded at a discount to Treasuries forever. In a crisis, it is not impossible to foresee these (and other) agency bonds abandoned. In short, nothing is over…until it’s over. There is nothing that the US government will not stoop to try in desperation.
    16
  46. Yes, the ribe hates them.
    16
  47. US has one company that recovers antimony from batteries (ie recycles). Total value in 2023 was $49 million. That’s equivalent to how much Jamie Dimon of J P Morgan makes in an average year. US has its priorities: financiers.
    16
  48. No other channel comes close to Inside Business Today, including the Chinese channels which are many and mostly superficial.
    16
  49. Kevin is at the cutting edge of what is really going on in global trade. This discussion is spot on. Tether is far preferable to Bitcoin/Ethereum as they are investment vehicles — so by definition unstable in value.
    16
  50.  @yunko9369 China overestimated the probity of the west. Hope it never makes that mistake again. China never uses predatory pricing. Needs to reconsider that for select situations.
    16
  51. More importantly, the allocation of central government research support is more objective and less influenced by the corrupt system in the US which favors certain commercial areas, institutions,and ideologies. This is exemplified above all by the NIH and CDC whose senior administration flows interchangeably with Big Pharma. Never forget that the CDC has a major ownership stake in the patents underlying mRNA vaccines.
    15
  52.  @Kingofthehill84 the only dream is the chaotic thoughts in your “brain”.
    15
  53. Kevin is — simply put — unique. Incomparable. No one remotely close to him.
    15
  54. Corruption is not only accepted but widely admired by those wearing small.
    15
  55. Because the —- controls the international financial system duh
    14
  56.  @Kingofthehill84  very interesting. You have doubtless conducted scholarship of the highest order. Can you please reference your original work so we can benefit from your thorough and erudite scholarship on ethnicity including your analysis of East Asian haplotypes? Thanking you in advance.
    14
  57. Very suspicious his subscribers have not grown. But Kevin is irreplaceable for serious information about serious issues.
    14
  58. Kevin — the quality and perception of your videos is in inverse proportion to the number of viewers. Kudos also for never succumbing to sarcasm and nihilism.
    14
  59. Not just from a Chinese perspective…but from a global competitive market standpoint also
    14
  60. Your final question goes to the heart of the matter. The West and its ruling financial class look to maximize monopoly rents. It relies on the low costs — and sense of fairness — in China to enable them to succeed as asset stripping jackals.
    14
  61. A revealing and deep understanding of China business from the inside — really superb. As always, thanks Kevin.
    14
  62. True. If you look at the bigger picture….all high ticket items are — deep down — just an opportunity for high interest rate consumer loans for banks. Few people pay cash…Chinese evs would be cheap enough for more people to afford to pay in cash — or with a smaller loan. Obviously, banks would lose out and they, too, oppose Chinese evs. US public not bright enough to see this.
    14
  63.  @bigeye4520  however some of us are interested in the truth. Please discuss how the US helped China in the 50s after its ignominious defeat in Korea, or what the US supplied to China in the 60s (apart from possible biological specimens). When China was absolutely at its rock bottom, in the decades following World War II, it was only the USSR that stepped forward to help. Anyone claiming otherwise is ignorant or falsifying p — or both.
    14
  64. Actually, not the first time. They just don’t change their shorts. This accounts for the flies that follow Austin around.
    14
  65.  @Kingofthehill84  wondering if you belong to haplogroup J?
    13
  66. The idea that money alone will enable technology resharing is fallacious. You need expertise and know how. For advanced technology systems manufacturing, neither is easily available in the US or West. Who will train the trainers?😊
    13
  67. Slight correction: pottery has been created by all societies from Neolithic days. The supreme example of pottery is porcelain — on which China had a monopoly for centuries. Any European court of any standing in the eighteenth century tried to solve the mystery of porcelain. The secret in the clay body was finally found through Korea, with which the Chinese had shared their secrets.
    13
  68. Kevin is the DeepSeek of yt.
    13
  69. The western capitalist model differs in one key aspect from the Chinese model. The west builds a develop a brand which makes huge returns to investment. The brand stops innovating while continuously raising prices. It’s taking a long time for the Chinese to build products and then a brand. But there will continuous improvement, even innovation. Western companies re built in the goal of rent seeking.
    13
  70. When was a graduate student in the late 70s, Sen Ted Kennedy was championing the direction of healthcare which then was 5% of GDP. Today, it’s near 20%. But of course,e Americans are healthier than ever. /s
    13
  71. Kevin not only covers an enormous range of topics (chips to ag equipment to university revenue streams) — he is the single most yt channel in this area — but he speaks for the highest universal human values. And that doesn’t include acquiring more things and money than anyone else.
    13
  72. Kevin, well done! I believe you are the first report on this afaik.
    12
  73. German companies were some of the first to go to China to look for JVs in the Deng period. I remember a senior banker telling me in the early 00s that the Germans commanded the highest respect level among the government and companies. Perhaps it’s coming full circle .
    12
  74.  @Focusworld123 he is very shrewd — but, without deep seated beliefs, Türkiye will never develop its potential. If it can’t see true opportunity, it will always be in the defensive, as it has been been for a long time
    12
  75. Misleading comment. If that were true, then as the world’s largest population, India should be #1. And Japan and S Korea would not be leading players.
    11
  76. Actually, I disagree. For some reason, you think that US politicians have any goals apart from fulfilling the dreams of the people who paid to elect them.
    11
  77. Well done — subscribed.
    11
  78. Money seeking is not the primary motivation for Huawei. I guess you don’t know anyone who works there.
    11
  79. Anyone who’s ever been to both China and Taiwan….the latter is clearly provincial.
    11
  80. The word “tokamak” is itself Russian.
    10
  81.  @zen-mc4ju  you hit the nail on the head. Western “quality”? The prestige brand Mercedes? Second to the last in Consumer Reports 2024 Automobile Quality survey — they’ve been doing this for 30 years. The elite brand of household irons made in Germany “Rowenta”? Expensive to buy, expensive to repair — I fell for the western “quality” argument, I bought one — it was lousy, I tried buying another….also junk. I was a fool.
    10
  82. Another great video, thanks. Nonetheless, the fundamental problem is the West doesn’t want to do any heavy lifting. The research, engineering and manufacturing skills — that’s for peons. With a strong dollar and euro, the west can just laze back and buy everything it needs. Let others pollute their countries with hydrocarbon resource extraction, rare earth mineral separations, radioactive waste disposal. Just FO — it is the destiny of the rest of the world to serve its masters. Decoupling not only is a necessary response to this arrogant belief — but new trade arrangements will reduce dollar demand — and prevent excess dollar accumulation as its value plummets. Win/win for the deserving and lose/lose for the leeches.
    10
  83.  @williamho1976 good reporting from tel aviv

  84. Are there e-trikes? Asking for an American friend.

  85. ⁠ @MarineScoutSniper refined and processed ores are not “raw materials”.
    10
  86. Of course it’s in China’s self-interest to trade with friendly nations. But in Buddhism, to help others is to help yourself, because we are all one. China is taking a leadership role, along with Russia, to trade with nations which have been ravaged by the west.
    10
  87. Kevin, your insight and diligence are only exceeded by your evident humanity and love of truth. An American who reminds me of the open-minded and fair America I grew up in. Heartiest wishes for your cont8nued success.
    10
  88. A generalization that contains some grains of truth. True, profound innovation at scale, across all technologies, is taking place in only one Asian country.
    10
  89. Clearly. US GDP is debt-based, both corporate and household. More sustainable = higher quality.
    10
  90. I discussed your claims with the manager of my local America’s Tires. He says you’re completely off base — the complaints in the past about Chinese tires were based on their low cost, not their performance. “Most steel from China…” is a sweeping generalization and strongly suggests you’re a compromised commentator.
    10
  91. Weather balloons are deadly!
    9
  92. The politicians could care less about the people as long as there’s enough $ to get re-elected.
    9
  93. Completely agree. Very few “business” channels understand finance. Very few “financial” channels understand business Kevin has a unique background. Share share share.

  94.  @willengel2458 I use the Escobar terminology for Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia: the three chihuahuas.
    9
  95.  @JS-tt9hi thanks for pointing out the reality which is known to those of us in research — research funding as a % of total spending is dropping the US forcing downsizing in many areas without immediate commercial promise. So the facts show that the US situation is even worse than it appears. The only permanently growing part of US expenditures is military.
    9
  96. When the huge turbine blades in the “first of many” wind farms off Nantucket (MA) started shredding onto the island’s famed beaches….well, people start to b** about the Chinese. Only the project was designed by GE Wind and the Haliade-X turbines were manufactured in France. Now the alternative is from cuckoo clock land (Siemens). Western technology is so overrated, like their $25k handbags.
    9
  97.  @jchung5265 obvious to cursory examination. China has been securing energy supplies for twenty years. Is this for arbitrage like India? Or do you think it has “something to do with” the FACT they are the global manufacturing powerhouse for a decade? What doesn’t China manufacture especially for export? Boyband sissmusic.
    9
  98.  @yimingtian6380 that’s not what i hear from my work in China. If you’re right, why does China have one of the highest home ownership rates in the world? Far higher than Germany, for example. Please explain.
    9
  99.  @mijmijrm you’ve hit the essence of toleration and a peaceful world. It’s unclear whether the west will let this happen. Examples of horror abound in the US — fortunately the rest of the world can choose to ignore the Americans and feel pity.
    9
  100. Kevin: thanks for another informative video. An area of interest to many of us: recycling— I hear that China is far ahead of anyone in full scale advanced recycling (vs the fake recycling in the US), including new biodegradable plastics and other packaging materials. You can see how the Chinese are personally quite frugal as well.

  104. That’s a feature, not a bug.

  105. Not just the weaponization — dollar depreciation is a huge risk as we can now after the fed cut rates yesterday.

  106. This has been true since at least the Tang dynasty. Which is why “excess capacity” is la pura mierda.

  107. Kevin is the single most underrated yt on the subject of China business. He deserves 100k at the very least. Share share share.

  108. Kevin is truly the evolved soul of Buddhism.

  109. Subscribers to Inside China Business are members of an exclusive club. We have the information, the issues identified, and the strategic framework for the world of the future — there are only 35,000 of us! Best respect to Kevin!

  112.  @DW-op7ly misinformation. The Chinese have a minority interest and operating agreements in about a dozen ports. Of the world’s largest 20 ports outside China, how many do the Chinese have a “controlling interest” in — please name them. Piraeus, Greece is not a world top 20 port.

  113. You are so polite.

  114.  @mamacryright5740 interesting…all companies I don’t do business with😂

  115. The truth is brutal — speaking as an older engineer, you are a rare species and should persevere. Success will come even if you have to work for a nitwit.
    7
  116. But it’s quite unclear whether the “age of innovation” in the west still exists. When I grew up with black and white tv, there was a Saturday morning program called “Mr Wizard” which inspired some of us into science and engineering. I hesitate to even think what young kids are watching these days….
    7
  117. Absolutely true. A unique channel in every way. Kevin deserves the ultimate respect as an objective and informative analyst.
    7
  118. Kevin is the top analyst on China business on yt. And his subscribers haven’t gone up over the last 6 months. Strange, isn’t it?

  119. Faierisees will not be pleased.

  120. Not gambling, market manipulation. Two different things. Market manipulation is where the “house” cheats.
    6
  121. Kevin, your videos have a distinct and even privileged point of view, valuable to many of us. It’s painful to hear you describe yourself as a “nobody” because that means you’ve subscribed to western nihilism. I follow information from a wide range of sources, and your videos are very valuable.

  122. Unclear whether Canadians do or don’t want to be the 51st state. Spoke to some Cdn neighbors who are comfortably well off and they had mixed feelings honestly. The Cdn elite is performing the calculus right now.

  128. Kevin, you say in 50 words why China does not want to replace the USD as reserve currency, or allow the RMB to be subject to western currency speculation. Anyone remember what Soros did to the British pound? Anyone remember how much money this moneylender/financial manipulator made?

  136. Kevin very rightly points out that older Chinese executives command enormous respect and are vital to their companies. Brain aging is taking place in the west at an alarming rate.

  240. Another timely and to-the-point strategic analysis. In addition to steady economic (production) decoupling, there will be investment decoupling. Western investors will continue to play with themselves, buying and selling in an ongoing ponzi scheme (read today’s FT “DeepSeek shock will not derail”). The US equity market already constitutes some 75% of all global public equity markets. With the spread of Chinese-led technology and manufacturing in the rest of the world, this financial trading between insiders appears to be able to go on forever. The end to this incestuous cycle can only come in one of two forms. As the west manufactures little, BRICS must be prepared to raise real prices on goods it exports to the west. How this is done is a work-in-progress (likely multiple mechanisms). The endpoint here is clearly the instability, and ongoing weakening, of the USD as a reserve currency. This is a fundamental restructuring that Zoltan Pozsar termed “Bretton Woods III”. The other choice is war, which has very serious advocates among the US élites who cannot link advanced weaponry to advanced technology. To paraphrase Ogden Nash, “candy is dandy but the liquor of military defeat is quicker”.

A recession is defined by the government — and they have already played fast and loose with the definition to suit their goals. A “recession” is “over there”. What matters for the ordinary person is prices. Watch what happens to prices in relation to income. The clearest sign of what the government plans is to look at what’s done to retirees (on fixed incomes). CPI-U increased 3.4% in 2023. Social Security payments increased 2.3%. For next year, if the government says there will be no increase in SSI (+0.0%) what can the common do? In a western “democracy”, the public has no recourse because there is no choice in candidates as they are controlled by financial interests.

  274. The history of western “medicine” is not what you think. It was dominated by medieval practices which were very invasive and tortuous — which is to be expected if you understand the parallel practices of the Church in extracting confessions of heretics. The so-called “Scientific. Revolution” was supposed to change that. One monstrous belief system is replaced by another equally fallacious and easy to manipulate. The Sassoons marked the beginning of a new phase of “treatment” with opium poppies as the base. Drugs, in short. And this tradition is carried on by the Sacklers with OxyContin. Albert Bourla is the latest “hero”: mRNA “vaccines”. Where a society is in collapse, whether Qing dynasty China, or modern America, drugs will always be sought, legal or otherwise.

  304. Began with Dr Wen Ho Lee who was accused of stealing nuclear energy-related documents from the Los Alamos National Laboratory. “On December 10, 1999, Lee was arrested, indicted on 59 counts, and jailed in solitary confinement without bail for 278 days.” Later, the government dropped 58 of the 59 charges as it could not prove them. “President Bill Clinton issued a public apology to Lee over his treatment by the federal government during the investigation. Lee filed a civil lawsuit to gain the names of public officials who had leaked his name to journalists before charges had been filed against him. It raised issues, similar to those in the Valerie Plame affair, of whether journalists should have to reveal their anonymous sources in a court of law. Lee's lawsuit was settled by the federal government in 2006 just before the Supreme Court was set to decide whether to hear the case. The federal judge who heard the case during an earlier appeal said that "top decision makers in the executive branch...have embarrassed our entire nation and each of us who is a citizen." [Wikipedia] The anti-sinicism of the New York Times was openly revealed as it cheerled the false case against Dr Lee. Since then, the NYT has increasingly resembled the tabloid paper National Enquirer with its openly anti-Chinese xenophobia. Ironically Dr Lee is Taiwan-born.

  306. Only a country that profoundly values human life can triumph in AI. Countries that devalue human beings and toss them into cauldrons where their lives are wasted do not survive in the long arc of history. If this were not true, Babylon, Rome and Britain would still lead the world.

  307. I know a small third generation Japanese-American company in Saginaw MI that continues to manufacture cranes. They decorated a birthday cake at a party I went to last week. They’re so gay and colorful.

  310. China invented firecrackers for festive and aesthetic displays. The west made gunpowder to kill China makes drones for recreation — the west turns them into weapons to kill — which they’re too thick to make themselves. Nothing new under the Sun.

  311. From what you wrote (perhaps you’re a non-native writer of English) I made the mistake of thinking you were making a profound observation. Didn’t realize you were talking about the last 30 years.

  312.  @mystictraveler8642  I made the mistake of thinking you might be making a non-trivial statement. Instead of human history, you think of 30 years. Ho hum.

  314.  @dasboot5366  I’m a chemical engineer and dispute your falsehood. Explosive powders do not involve handwork, even if they do in your fantasy life. In your sad case, a little learning is a dangerous thing.

  315.  @georgewilder7423  you probably don’t know this so I share it with you: I didn’t receive my degree from an election. And I’ve forgotten more chemistry than you’ll ever know.

  316.  @georgewilder7423  I stated my credentials as part of a discussion where someone made a ludicrous argument which seemed to imply knowledge of explosives manufacturing. But I can that went over your head

  319.  @kryptokc3800 and this doesn’t take into consideration the push by government (usually state level) to mandate the use of more fuel efficient vehicles (non ICE). The e-bikes and scooters will slowly existing bike paths which will expand primarily in retirement communities.

  320. China believes in truth: the “West” and its allies are committed to lying. Schopenhauer in the early nineteenth century was explicit on this point.

  323.  @Whitfield369  Rome kept its people in line by offering “bread and circuses”. The American government does the same, only the bread is made from cockroach flour and the circuses feature Hollywood robots.

  324.  @etbuch4873  have you ever heard of a “bulldozer”? If you learn how to do an internet search, you can answer your own question. Wisdom begins with the self.

  326. In case you haven’t read it yet, Japan has announced its intention to restart nuclear energy. And after dumping millions of gallons of tainted effluent into the sea. Japanese politicians trained by American politicians to despise the population, and to re-elect elite politicians over and over again.

  327. Kevin, your return after a brief hiatus is reassuring. Because, as someone in the China business space, you’re unique — therefore, irreplaceable. There is simply no one who supplies the “Inside” of business in China across as many business sectors as you. Your aura is so free of exaggeration and self-importance. We are deeply appreciative for your existence.

  328.  @seaskyguy USD and USG (government) are controlled by financiers who, in turn, the politicians. That’s the system and there’s nothing anyone can do about it, least of all whoever is president.
