It allows for the discarding of any Chinese media viewpoints as just government propaganda and therefore invalid and not representing what people "truly" think. Of course if Chinese people do express their viewpoint through other means and it differs from Western viewpoints they are quick to be labelled as "brainwashed".
Kind of like how Youtube labels news from western friendly countries as "public broadcast" but news from adversary nations are "sponsored by the government".

Imagine still having to pay taxes to US government after being sent to a foreign concentration camp.

Me four years ago — “I sure hope Trump doesn’t confiscate my money/assets and deport me to China with nothing because I’m ethnic Chinese…”

Me right now — “If Daddy Trump absolutely has to please just take my money and assets and let me go back to the PRC.”

You will be of more use here behind enemy lines, Comrade @siegecrossbow.

The White House said China is now facing up to a 245 percent tariff on imports to the U.S. "as a result of its retaliatory actions," another escalation in a trade war between the world's two largest economies.

The top potential tariff is higher than the previously stated 145 percent and was referenced in a fact sheet published by the White House late on Tuesday.

It accompanied an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that launched an investigation into the "national security risks posed by U.S. reliance on imported processed critical minerals and their derivative products."

Newsweek has contacted the White House press office by email outside of normal business hours for comment.

It appears Tesla is now doubling down on India for its batteries.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but India has basically zero supply chain in batteries. I don't see how they will build one up without the participation of China? Is Xi going to let CATL and the other big companies just transfer tech like this? My impression is that the mood in Beijing has soured after American trade war (and India is still often seen as an appendage to the West).

I doubt Tasla will spend the money to build the supply chain, at least not in the short term. For the rest of the world, China and Germany would have the capacity to handle, plus with the downturn in sales thanks to the AOE damage from Trump, meeting demand wouldn’t be an issue at all.

That just leaves the raw material and refining that need to happen to supply the US gigafactory, since they can’t get the material from China anymore, India would be the next best option, get the refined material at the cheapest rate possible and leave the slag to the Indians to deal with.

Most importantly, I doubt Tasla has that much spare capital to invest into a completely new supply chain and it wouldn’t make any business sense to invest such an amount at such a volatile time other than to solve the most immediate of problems.
