They have powered the Hang Seng Tech index to an almost 70 per cent gain over the last 12 months, compared with a 27 per cent rise for Nasdaq.
Six Little Dragons, Seven Sisters and the Terrific Ten. These are some of the nicknames being bestowed on China's cast of home-grown heroes as they take on the U.S. tech goliaths, known as the Magnificent Seven.
Expect better consumer spending this year in China due to the stock market DS-moment that finally made everyone realize that Chinese companies also had their moats. Also, Xi's recent meeting played a big part. Now imagine those westoid idiots that were invested in India.
But these moats are mainly in productivity, not value-taking, that's why it took the foreign investors so long to adapt to Chinese market realities from the destructive environments of the US/India.
As the stock market in China rises overall, people will feel more confident about spending money. Totally opposite from the situation in the US that Deepseek caused recently. It shattered their bubble.
Not to mention that ordinary citizens in the US are all over-invested in the US stock market, so this is another way China has at its disposal to accelerate the US collapse and decline if needed which I didn't fully factor in before. Just destroy their stock market and consumerism.
And this is totally organic and based on realism, without excessive financial engineering and delusional hype.
The Sputnik here they are referring to is in terms of the stock market, it served as a wake-up call and catalyst.
Basically previous foreign investors thought that moats are only regulatory capture and high margins (Western/Indian way of thinking),
But in the Chinese case, companies have low margins and aren't politically powerful. But they have brain power and technological moats.
Technological moats that over time make it so that they will price out, out-innovate, and defeat all competition across all industries in the world.
Take SMIC for example, wasn't China's chip industry 'totally anhiliated', then how come its valuation increased by 3-4 times in 6 months?
lol . do you think i take this report seriously. what UK has attracted through its Soft power is not exactly reassuring. so there is no point in surpassing them on that criteria.Don't let pmc come to anywhere near here.
I thought you would jest ......The FBI's cafeteria will now be operated by one of the famous indian street food guys. The best feet made food ever
It appears that the Trump regime is very serious about giving the ultra-rich like himself and Musk some big tax cuts down the road.Trump wants DoD to cut its budget by 8% each year for the next five years. Based on the proposed military budget of 850 billion dollars for 2025, DoD will "only" get 560 billions, or less than two thirds of 850 billions, in 2030.
当地时间2月19日,央视记者获悉,知情官员表示,美国特朗普政府已下令美国国防部和美国军队的高层领导制定大规模削减计划,在未来5年内每年削减8%的国防预算。
I'm a firm believer that there are far more Chinese in China than in the US.
A huge chunk of Elon's xAI team that made Grok turned out to be Chinese guys. Its funny coz while morons or people with vested interests tell us that they need elite human capital of Indians, in reality the real commodity is Chinese engineering talent. Yet even now they do not fight hard for it. By the time they realize, it will be far too late. With China being much richer in the future more of these Chinese talents will go back to China to either work for a tech firm that gives them what they want or just create their own startup.
Here is a rebuttal:Xi Is Making the World Pay for China’s Mistakes
More shockingly, Setser portrays China's export boom as a way to compensate for domestic economic problems. This is misleading. China is choosing to export and compete simply because they can and because they develop their economy faster that way. This is, in fact, the nature of economic development!
The most problematic part of this essay, though, is that Setser does not discuss why so many countries are choosing to develop trade deficits with China, or failing to compete with China. Lots of countries have deliberately chosen the luxury of having access to imports from China — both inputs and final goods.
The US is the prime example, where consumers and multinationals have benefitted tremendously from trade with China. If this is creating problems for the US economy in the long run, they should simply do what China had to do: compete!
LONDON/GENEVA/BERLIN, Feb 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. is refusing to co-sponsor a draft U.N. resolution marking three years since Moscow's that backs Ukraine's territorial integrity and again demands Russia withdraw its troops, three diplomatic sources told Reuters, in a potential stark shift by Ukraine's most powerful Western ally.
Washington has also objected to a phrase in a statement the Group of Seven nations was planning to issue next week that would condemn Russian aggression, two other sources told Reuters.
The U.S. refusal to agree to language that has been regularly used by the U.N. and G7 since February 2022 comes amid a widening between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Trump is trying to rapidly end the war in Ukraine and sent a team to hold talks with Russia this week in Saudi Arabia without the involvement of Kyiv.
Ukraine's allies have used the previous two Feb. 24 anniversaries of the war to reiterate their condemnation of Russia's invasion but this year it is unclear how the United States will approach it.
At the U.N. countries can decide to co-sponsor a resolution up until a vote. The 193-member General Assembly is due to vote on Monday, diplomats said. General Assembly resolutions are not binding but carry political weight, reflecting a global view on the war.
"In previous years, the United States has consistently co-sponsored such resolutions in support of a just peace in Ukraine," one of the sources, who like the others requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, said on Thursday.
The first diplomatic source told Reuters that the resolution was being sponsored by more than 50 countries, declining to identify them.
A second diplomatic source who also requested anonymity said: "For now, the situation is they (the U.S.) won't sign it." Efforts are ongoing to seek support from other countries instead, including the Global South, the source added.
A spokesperson for the U.S. diplomatic mission to the United Nations in Geneva did not respond to a request for comment.
The G7 is planning to hold a call on Monday, three sources told Reuters, but so far the U.S. is objecting to language on "Russian aggression". A statement issued by G7 foreign ministers last week contained no mention of Russian aggression but did refer to "Russia's devastating war in Ukraine".
The row is a major political crisis for Ukraine, which has used tens of billions of dollars of U.S. military aid agreed under the previous U.S. administration to weather Russia's invasion and also benefited from diplomatic support.
The draft U.N. resolution, seen by Reuters, "calls for a de-escalation, an early cessation of hostilities and a peaceful resolution of the war against Ukraine ... in line with the U.N. Charter and international law".
It also "recalls the need for full implementation of its relevant resolutions adopted in response to the aggression against Ukraine, in particular its demand that the Russian Federation immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders".
Russia has seized some 20% of Ukraine and is slowly but steadily gaining territory in the east. Moscow said its "special military operation" responded to an existential threat posed by Kyiv's pursuit of NATO membership. Ukraine and the West call Russia's action an imperialist land grab.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed today (Monday 17 February 2025), Lt Gen (ret) Keith Kellogg, United States Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, to the North Atlantic Council, for a discussion with Allies on ending the war against Ukraine.
Yes this is Western spin as usual. The West raped the world so why don't they examine how that ruined everyone else? The West basically doesn't like their capitalism they've been exercising benefitting someone else. It's like the new Western term "over-capacity" for China. Essentially it's making more than you need personally for to sell to someone else. Why does the West whine about China not buying their goods? That's their over-capacity. Basically that describes every Western country that needs to sell to other markets in order to maintain their first world lifestyles and you know that's important to them. That's what the 2008 Western financial crisis was all about. They had to borrow money they didn't have just to fund their social programs to which their citizens protested from being cut regardless of how it added to their problems. If European countries were reduced to producing to only what their countries have within their borders to survive, they would be third world. Why did they raped the world like they did? Because they had to have more than what they had. First it was colonizing the world. Today they cry about supply chains like never before. Yes they take what other countries have to make things to sell to others so they can make money beyond their countries' means. Now they come up with terms like "over-capacity" and theories like what China does comes at the expense of the rest of the world... That's just to cover up they're worse hence why the spin just for China alone.It appears that the Trump regime is very serious about giving the ultra-rich like himself and Musk some big tax cuts down the road.
I'm a firm believer that there are far more Chinese in China than in the US.
The fact that China built a globally competitive manufacturing sector and has one of the world's high savings-rate is a mistake?
