With some luck, maybe BYD will make it into the US. Chinese EV firms are setting up shop around the globe. Its a concern for the hegemon because some of those countries have free-trade agreements with the US which would allow them to circumvent the 27% tarriff on Chinese made EVs. Blah blah about how Chinese EV firms are subsidized by the state while not mentioning US firms are as well.

The US is working on banning pro Palestinian protests, and any other unfavorable boycotts as well. Not a peep about civil rights:

Lawmaker says bill protects Israel, amid surge in pro-Palestinian activism in US.

"Congress is firmly stating our proactive opposition to... boycotts that stand counter to American ideals".







Look at Andrew Yang now. He sounds passionless, disillusioned, and defeated:
Now all he does is shill for other candidates, just another cog in the machine.

I just checked tradingeconomics and it appears Vietnam has already surpassed Philippines in both nominal and per capita GDP. I remember back when Vietnam GDP was just a fraction of the Philippines when they joined ASEAN.

Really sad for the Philippines.
I see Vietnam advancing rapidly. They are able to take advantage of close ties with China and learning from best practices that China developed. There's close people to people ties. And as Vietnam develops I think that they will get more confident and forget silly stuff like the SCS dispute, which can be solved between China and Vietnam easily but not against countries without an independent foreign policy.

Buyer's remorse...? Yes it has nothing to do with India seeing China and Russia getting closer while the US was accusing India of assassination plots in other countries.
Their first mistake was enlisting Indians (of all people!) for WAR against China, the civilisation that wrote the manual on the Art of War.
Their second mistake was believing Indians when indians are sucking up to them and kissing ass and promising the world and proving BS like an indian job applicant passing the interview with flying colours with his loquaciousness but doesn't do the work and covers his ass by hiring his own cousins.

Brightline wants to build a version of their Florida rail but in California:
Brightline in Florida sounds like a good idea in principle. But the execution is awful. We were discussing the other day the horrific amount of fatalities they have in just operating their line. They try to run a high speed rail service in a corridor without grade separation at crossings with regular roads. They don't add barriers around the railway. People are dying all the time just so they can save a buck.

The line in California is probably the Los Angeles to Las Vegas railway project. I think that was supposed to be made by Brightline.

India is not doing anything outside the regional consensus. perhaps India is easy to pick due to lack of its power over Africa. The trading system and the language they use is reflection of that Arab strength that will work against Europe. India has Korean and Japanese and investments for re-export. Korea and Japan will have to think that there is that Mideast in Middle before think about Europe.
