What are peoples thoughts on a British pianist fighting the "Chinese Communist Party" in London metro?

I think this is a petty incident where a company was filming something for Chinese New Year or what ever but there was a pianist already there so they waited but the painist decided to stay there for a long ass time so they asked if they could use the space but it turned into a shitshow. That is what I could gather from the info on twitter.

Hey Ma Yilong, maybe you should move your Tesla HQ from Texas to Shanghai and make Tesla into a Chinese company instead of an American one, with Chinese execs, Chinese-style management and Chinese-integrated supply network? Perhaps a Sinicized Tesla will be able to survive somwhat?


Yet, at least Ma Yilong is still better than that "Chyna will always be 10 years behind the industry" guy at Intel.

FM Kuleba calls on West to step up artillery aid, saying Pyongyang currently outpacing Kyiv’s allies​

Russia is “clearly ahead” of Ukraine in the supply of artillery ammunition, in particular because Moscow receives it from North Korea, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in an interview with blind on Jan. 24.

“No matter how absurd it may sound, it seems that North Korea is a more effective partner for Russia than our friends who supply Ukraine with artillery ammunition,” he said.

“This is ridiculous and it has to change.”

Ukraine appreciates everything it receives from its international partners, but “the scale of the war requires more,” as the defense of the front line without sufficient artillery ammunition costs the lives of many Ukrainian soldiers, said the diplomat.

The Ukrainian official also called on Western partners to stop blaming each other for not increasing production fast enough.

Although Ukraine has significantly increased its production and will continue to do so, the Western defense industry is not able to produce enough artillery ammunition.

“This does not meet either the needs of the war in Ukraine or the defense needs of your own countries,” Kuleba stated.

NATO signed a contract earlier for the supply of 155-mm artillery shells worth a total of 1.1 billion euros ($1.2 billion). Some of them are to be transferred to Ukraine, reported Reuters on Jan. 23.
“No matter how absurd it may sound, it seems that North Korea is a more effective partner for Russia than our friends who supply Ukraine with artillery ammunition,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister said.

Because the economy is going to softland, inflation is down, and anyone who says otherwise is promoting vibecession and probably a Trump supporter. #BidenWins #GreatestEconomy #FourMoreYear
Yes, Bidenomics uber alles
Biden is defeating Xi, only the economy in China is in shambles

I feel sometimes people take this quote too seriously.
Elon Musk has proven historically to be 80% BS boasting, but the 20% that hits the mark is usually impressive. He is too smart to have actually thought that Chinese cars would not pose an challenge.

You aren't too off. Operationally, China is probably the center of Tesla. The Shanghai plant is actually Tesla's most important. It is #1 in output and was building the new models before the American ones, so it is actually where they perfect their new processes. It is said that Tom Zhu is basically the #2 guy. However, the financial centre is still USA.
