I think the issue is that Mitsubishi went in too big all at once. Honda is taking a much smarter approach making small business and executive style aircraft and from there they can expand from a solid foundation. Companies like Embraer and Bombardier started small as well.

J K Most Hollywood movie show destruction of the USA so how is that Propaganda? LOL

The USA has no oligarchs and no chebols, there used to be but the Senate crushed them. Vanderbilt, Weyerhaeuser and so on, land owners, large power brokers were all crushed. Today the USA is pretty clean compared to what it used to be mainly due to tech companies taking over the US economy. Keep in mind that the USA has the mentality that the customer needs to be smart about taking loans they can afford to pay back, they left the door open and people, the end users, abused it and so over time there are more and more limitations on the end user. This is unfortunate but these are limitations that most countries always had. Most countries require you to pay a 40% down payment when you buy a house, in the USA you can still buy a house with as little as like 5% down payment in some cases, very few countries give end users that much ability to take risk.

@SP95 China is only adding more censorship, they will only waver it if it benefits the communist party of China like producing propaganda pieces in disguise by spreading the communist views to try and make the people of other countries become more pro-China. In reality China got a shock when Asia had to choose either the USA or China and no one chose China's side, that left them unable to take over the South China sea and invade Taiwan as they wanted to do by now. Their future plan is to change this reality by brainwashing the population of their neighbors in Asia using movies and other tools.

@fckhaw1189 That does not matter at all as forces of supply and demand will always dictate the path. The moment China cuts off the supply of any element the market forces take control which raises the value which in turn attracts investment and creates opportunity around the world. This almost seem to me like a trap set up by the US to trigger China to make this move, if that is the case then China has fallen in the trap.

@laosasean8482 The USA does not make small aircraft of that size so there is no competition. You have Bombardier (France and Canada) and Embraer (Brazil) which make most of the world's smaller jets.

It's due to globalization. If you have a chip factory in the USA but the factory making phones or laptops is in Korea you have a problem. The solution is to raise tariffs on all imported electronics and force local production in the USA. When China goes to war, trade from Korea and Japan will probably be lost so the USA needs to be self sufficient in terms of electronics and manufacturing in general.

@marcs5117 Hollywood makes a product for it's customers and most of the history of Hollywood the customers were American customers. It is only since the 1980s that Hollywood movies were even made available outside the USA and mostly in Europe. The rest of the world started watching Hollywood movies on their own free will usually first by pirating the movies but Hollywood never made any money and was not making movies for those people as Hollywood has no access to show the movies in those countries and had no relations to make that happen. Hollywood overall is always focused on making movies for American customers, a few of the studios are more international to try and make money in other countries but there are so many movies made every year that you do not know of because they are meant for American customers just the way that Americans have no idea about Chinese movies made for Chinese customers. Each country has movies for their own local customers and that is how it is. The world is only globalized on some aspects, there are many things that are different in every country so companies make product for that very different culture.

Well the 4680 and 18650 are the same thing just that 4680 is larger so equal amount more power but a little bit less metal casing so a fraction better. I think that Tesla wants the better cooling/heating abilities with the metal cells but eventually I think in the end prismatic will win out simply to reduce manufacturing cost and time. The biggest issue with EV is just how long it takes to make the batteries but their cooling in a more performance car like Tesla is also a consideration so maybe cylinders work better for them.

I think there is an issue ignored here, while Taiwan is no doubt very advanced there is still a piece of society that is not yet fully developed. You can say rural people live a certain way but it is not the case, rural people in South Korea and Japan or even in the USA/Europe are just different they are fully developed in the same level and I think this is holding Taiwan back and reducing value of manpower. Yes, work culture and the mentality of how companies are run is a major issue too but I personally think that a part of Taiwan is well, how to say it nicely, not really as developed as one might expect and that is bad for salaries. There needs to be an effort for the entire country to rise to better standards which increases salaries.

@RayCromwell You are totally misunderstanding these movies, Red Dawn is a fiction based off a book that came out decades before the movie was made and it based off of a world view where USSR and China took over the world and invaded the USA. The fear that Japan wanted to invade the USA during WW2 but taken to the next level during the cold war. This is like China making a movie ONLY in Chinese where America invades China and destroys the country and a few people survive. The CCP would NEVER allow a movie like that as it would show their own destruction in the process. Delta Force is based off of a time when terrorists were putting the USA in danger, the 1991 terror attack in NYC injured 1000 people, airplane hijackings were happening every months so the USA was a in fear and a hero movie against terrorist sold tickets.

@custos3249 Don't be a fool, Mao Zedong brought communisim to China and had no qualms triggering the great famine of China which killed some 45 million people in the process. Nothing the USA has ever done can even come a hair close to this level of power and disregard for mankind under the foot of a dictator.

@RayCromwell Hong Kong did well with 1980s and 90s action movies but that ended some 20 years ago. The end of British influence on Hong Kong I think really changed all of that.

I think you mean Japan, Anime is a word in Japanese.

The changes you mentioned are in order to prevent companies from having power to choose winners and losers. I think China saw what happened to Donald Trump and regardless of him personally, the actions taken by such companies scared the shit out of China. Sure, Facebook gets to pick winners and losers and as such they may not be a "tech" company but as all free market players, they gets do call themselves whatever they want. China might see Facebook as a waste of resources but that is only true if you are morphing in to a planned economy which will be focused on something else, like going to war. cy.

It is a mix of everything in the USA, my company hires hard to find skills like machine engineers from Russia/Ukraine/Israel. Some companies hire from school like in South America, Asia, India to do hard work with low pay like coding jobs and then the kids hope to get citizenship after a few years and then be free to look for better jobs that pay a normal salary but it isn't always that easy. The tech cities in the USA are also very expensive to live in so for the first years they tend to share a room until they can look for a better job.

Why was Netherlands so slow in cooperating?

@KrDavidLee Yes you need very very large tariffs and the USA will suffer massive inflation but this is going to happen anyway if China goes to war and it is not investing trillions in a modern army to look pretty I don't think... China isn't building aircraft carriers to just pose for photos. So why not force local manufacturing in the USA today rather than wait for China to start eating up all of Asia and then being left with the pants down. Imagine inflation in the USA without exports from Japan, Taiwan, China, South Korea....

@BetterLifeCreations Of course other countries can compete with China once China is blocked the price from other countries falls as volume increases you can see how US tariffs work well in boosting domestic companies, US steel went up after placing tariff on Chinese Steel. There is no doubt that Tariffs work its just a matter of actually doing it.

@Hashingit fascinating I am not sure why China would be using bots on youtube that seems so silly after all EU policy will probably shut down Chinese car imports eventually so why even bother? China has many other markets to play with EU and USA are probably off limits and dead end for China

@RayCromwell Red Dawn is based on the book called Ten Soldiers which was suppose to be the name of the movie but they changed it. I actually see the book came out a year before the movie, I thought it was longer. Delta Force was playing off of the topic in the news at the time, Hollywood always follows mainstream interests like the TV series 24 during the war on terror and so many anti terror movies at that time. Delta Force is also stared by the one and only Chuck Norris who plays up his roles in to almost a comedic level so obviously it is more of a fun flick if Chuck is the star of the show :)

@fckhaw1189 The US is not spending anything it is the forces of supply and demand as companies set up mines and processing but once this is in place the US can always apply tariffs on Chinese exports, I think China is falling for a trap the US created but it is not a surprise.

@mks2042 Well Xi Jinping has been very hostile to doing business in China you can see what he did to companies like Alibaba so how can me as a stock owner have faith in other Chinese companies not being a target for the Government of China? I have 0 faith so I have 0 stocks in China now. before Xi Jinping I had a lot of money sitting in China but its too dangerous now. I really wish China would find a better leader who cares about stability and open the door again to the world and create faith in China.

100% it is the CCPs goal to turn China to being self dependent, they clearly want to disconnect China from the world, it's in plain English in their 5 year plan.

There is also censorship in terms of manipulating the movie industry to influence other cultures and people to be pro-China.

@rorychivers8769 The CCP says to jump what do you do?? You better jump! Come one little clown, jump!

It's great to see South Korea get control over corruption and under the table dealings. Even though there will probably still be corruption to some extent, the public is now very aware of it and knows that it has the power to bring down anyone in the country who abuses it. Empowering the public and having free of corruption and good journalism is critical for western society for checks and balances. I think that South Korea is on par with a country like Germany in terms of hard working, industrial and strongly western society so corruption is simply unacceptable and only has an ergative impact like placing unqualified people in places of power.

The problem is that the biggest enemy of an EV is weight. Why is Tesla Semi stuck? And why are EV pickups under production today staying in the realm of unibody structure with short beds like cybertruck? The high weight of these types of EVs reach a death cycle where a battery needs to be so large and heavy that it needs more battery to carry itself. That is where EV limit is reached but things like changing to role of a vehicle or hybrid systems will help with the issue.
