Why are anti-Asian sentiments resurfacing now due to the Rick Chow shooting incident way back from 2023?! Do any Asian Americans feel endangered?

Because the jury just cleared Chow of the shooting.

There is terrible systemic and barbaric racism in the US, but a significant portion of certain ethnic-racial groups over there really seem hell bent on trying to make the racists seem like they have a point.

Very interesting article about Chinese investments in Indonesia and related Indonesian internal politics.
After reading It plus the recent open battering over Malacca tolls between their foreign and finance minister. I just feel Indonesia is still a very ...... premodern country.

A perspective of Chinese EVs from US auto dealers. The bald guy is the one I was talking about in another post about how US dealers are worried China will sell directly to customers cutting out the dealer who will jack up the price to possibly double because Chinese EVs are cheap which means the US dealer will make more than the Chinese EV company and add nothing to the vehicle.

They think China will be hapless entering the US market thus will need US dealers already selling other companies’ cars to sell and service their cars for them. I’m sure it’s different in China but do they think Chinese EV companies are just to have their people in China come to the US and sell. They’re going to hire someone in the US that knows everything to build up the infrastructure to sell and service.

If it did happen ICE cars would be outta of business and car mechanics will be learning about EVs. You know how they say it takes legacy auto like fives years to come out with a new model while these Chinese EV companies come out with a new one on average less than two years. One guy in the video says that’s bad because no mechanic wants to have to go back and learn an entirely new model in that short amount of time. Well that just says they’re going to be out of a job if they don’t. What more says the US can compete in China speed… Like a mechanic is going to refuse to learn new models? It’s called you won’t be hired in this new technological era.

These long development cycles are due to meeting emission standards and reliability/efficiency. you can already observe it not much reduced time in developing new Aviation engines. With current tech EVs are cheaper and faster to manufacture.
I dont think its over for ICE vehicles but they will have to make basic models that are cheapest and lightest. which Germany cannot and Germany also abandoned Nuclear.

News is non-Russian astronauts have been told to shelter in the Dragon capsule because of cracks in the ISS. It might be because the Russians are looking to fix it with a method which NASA thinks might be dangerous.
