The time to fight "Chinese EVs" was a decade ago, but legacy manufacturers preferred to fiddle emission data rather than face a future which was clear even then. Incumbents cannot innovate when doing so means destroying their current (successful) business model, seems to be an iron law of business.

It mentions Tesla trying to develop a cheaper EV by 2025. Not sure how it's going to do it. Tesla's are pretty bare bones as is.

Anyway, this is another one of those "enlightened-but-actually-not", self soothing western articles.

Defense Minister Subianto leads in early, unofficial counts of Indonesia’s presidential race​


There is a possibility Indonesia will be the next Philippine for China.
Time to get some popcorn...

Should be interesting how the relationship will change. The Indonesian people just had a couple of years of good economic relationship with China. This good relationship providing economic growth and Infrastructure. Only time will tell how this will develop might go the way like the Thai election went and deep state put things back on track if my memory serves me well.

Or maybe not. I hope not. He might steer Indonesia like his predecessor, recognizing China's rise as the future superpower. So he will not be as bad as before to the local Chinese.

US to deploy 5 aircraft carriers in western Pacific in show of strength to China​

  • Unprecedented increase in naval power to the region is intended as a signal to Washington’s allies and rivals, especially Beijing, analysts said
  • Washington wants to reassure its partners that it remains committed to Indo-Pacific, despite conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East
The US is likely to deploy nearly half of its aircraft carriers in the western Pacific this year, in a signal of deterrence against the increasing military activity in the region by China and North Korea, analysts said.
Three US aircraft carriers are already operating in the western Pacific Ocean, with two more on the way. Their arrival will mark the first time that five of the 11-strong carrier contingent have operated in the region.
“It would seem that there a few reasons at stake: the first is clearly to send a strong signal to allied – of reassurance – and rival – of deterrence – powers alike in the Indo-Pacific,” Barton said.

“[It is also] to state that although US foreign policy is currently consumed by two strategic conflicts taking place outside Asia – Russian aggression in Ukraine, the situation in Gaza – the Indo-Pacific is still very much at the forefront of its strategic concerns.”

South Korea and Japan let Anglo American soldiers rape their women and the Anglo’s still won’t fight China? Thats how you know these nations are fit only as vassals, never a hegemon. Interesting note, during the civil war and war against Japanese aggression, the PLA were distinguished from the Nationalists and the IJA in not raping the civilians wherever they went, and in fact helped the people and empowered victims of sexual violence.

it was obvious a racist farquaard like pompeo would use Joshua Wong and jimmy lai and then not lift a finger to support them. Sorry, pal, you’re just not Caucasian enough and the world the five eyes wants sees non whites as “human livestock“ or “goyim” as the Jews say.
