The Europeans are getting jealous about China's lead in battery technology. DW says that China is at least 3-4 years ahead of Europe.

Sodium batteries was only a concept a couple of years ago, except in China. But now its seeing early commercialization in Chinese EVs. The Europeans are debating whether its even worth catching up. A startup founder says yes. But a more established Li-ion battery maker in says no, because Li-ion is still superior in performance. Na-ion still has energy density of about 50% of Li-ion. But its far cheaper. NaCO3 ore is at $290/ton, while LiCO3 ore is at $13,657/ton. DW says that Li-ion battery prices are still more lucrative than Na-ion batteries, so it might be better to just stick to investing in Li-ion. They doubt that Na-ion would eventually replace Li-ion.

Europeans are still debating about the future of battery technology, while the Chinese are rolling out Na-ion batteries for the commercial market. At this rate, they are not gonna catch up. If China could one day develop Na-ion batteries that can rival the energy density of Li-ion batteries, than that is gonna be a big game changer for the battery industry.

I think one of the biggest problems for the West currently is that they refuse to be humble, cooperate with, and learn from China.

One the other hand, the Global South doesn't have such hubris and they are readily reaping the benefits of working with China.

China’s technical expertise touted as new vehicle for progress on embattled, global belt and road​

• China seen shifting away from infrastructure-dominated exchanges that long dominated the decade-old Belt and Road Initiative and sparked criticism
• Technology transfers have always been part of China’s belt and road plan, but analysts say Beijing is increasingly prioritising those types of exchanges to boost ties

There is zero evidence that TikTok poses any national security threat to the US.

TIKTOK THREAT IS PURELY HYPOTHETICAL, U.S. INTELLIGENCE ADMITS​

“We have nothing to add,” the FBI said, when asked for evidence of TikTok’s actual threat.

I think ByteDance has the financial leverage to withstand a US ban of TikTok. In 2023, TikTok had a revenue of $16 billion in the US, while ByteDance had a revenue of $120 billion, becoming one of the world's largest social media. Most of ByteDance's business came from China.

Most of the group’s business comes from China, where ByteDance runs TikTok sister app Douyin and a growing in-app ecommerce business.

Another day, another gaslighting article from the New York Times: complaining that American investors' money is stuck in TikTok, while completely fails to mention that it's US government's fault entirely.

That was why India pull out of the RCEP negotiations, basically delaying implementation for a year, because the others in the group, would not agree to accrediting Indian educational institutions and subsequent migration of such accredited persons.

Same old story, that I believe originated from Singapore, that India's biggest export is their people. Damn straight!




Toronto Chinatown, has become India-town on bicycles.

Let me say this, that I really do not mind the Indians that much, on a personal level, they are okay. All those Indians in Chinatown, young men on their bicycles, they act respectful, they just want to do their gig job, and stay out of the way. Once in a while we see a total idiot park their bicycle right in front of the freaking door, but that does not happen that often.

Chinatown in Toronto, is Dundas St. and Spadina Ave. The Spadina Ave is a rather wide street, but not too wide, just right, there is enough room on the street for everybody, including all those bicycles.

Still, how did Chinatown, become India town?




This is what happened. Although I cannot conclusively prove it, I am pretty sure this is the case. Walk the streets, and we can see the changes.

About 10-15 years ago, most East Asians living in downtown Toronto condos were basically Korean, Japanese and some Chinese. Today, the Koreans and Japanese have all moved out, seeking lower rent. The Chinese students moved in, and that is how it is now, most East Asians in Toronto downtown condos are Chinese people.

Then there was the rise of the food delivery app.

Toronto Chinatown is smack downtown. The Chinese students living in those condos, about 1 km to 2 km to the east, so the food gets delivered that way.

That is the rise of China. Chinese money goes aboard, and get spent on many things. Sometimes, the Chinese money would buy the condo. Same old story.

Now, the plot twist, is where these Indian students come in. These Indian students, apparently there is like 1 million of them in Canada, they flood into the country via these scam schools. Once the arrive in the country, they try to get some work permit. They all live in Brampton Ontario, because Toronto is just too expensive for them.

Then these Indian students wind up on the street on Spadina, right in Chinatown!

I mean, this is a total scam!

Reading about those RCEP negotiations, seem rather abstract, but no, it is very real.

China was never give an inch over that.

Otherwise every town in China is going look like India town, like Dundas and Spadina in Toronto.

Why? How can it be 'dumb' when the text is mostly historical facts and statistical research? It is not much of a 'personal opinion'.

It's not appropriate to dismiss it alongside such a low-quality, low-value-added, reply. Or do you question their validity or what?

Share some of your own 'wisdom' then, to disprove it, you are pretty famous for your 'wisdom' and 'arguments' here anyway.

Anyway, famous French Historian Emmanuel Todd used the exact same kind of sociological data methodology to predict the collapse of the USSR, with precision, and was amongst the earliest ones, unlike what everyone else at that time in the entire West thought.

So, reading this kind of information can't be said to be 'dumb' in a million years, in fact, it is objectively very valuable and rare.

Agree with conclusion. Disagree with argument. Nations have their own circumstances unable to be captured with few stats. It is the same universal value argument Xijinping himself argued against personally. It is dangerous to believe that even if used on the west itself.

The state of the indian Canadian job market.

This is the grand strategy of the Indian elites: mass export their useless mouths with feet who will compete with the local population for jobs and university places And housing. This benefits the elites of the west who believe everything the slavish suck up Indians in their employ say to them, and who will also benefit from the rise in real estate prices. It helps as well that the Indian government makes it a condition for good relations for other nations to accept their Indian immigrants and to recognise Indian diploma mills.

Once these Indians form a beachhead, they will shamelessly and nepotistically only hire their own eg Cisco, oracle, any corporate firm etc such that wealth concentrates in this group and their votes and lobby groups will then be used t9 influence the government for pro Indian policies. The ashkenazi Zionist strategy so to speak.

You know sometimes I think they are smarter than east asians for being 'mentally flexible' to adapt at western society. It is like Indians and Jewish strategy are the natural hard counter on western civilisation.

To be fair, I don't know how it is in other countries but in Canada the indian "students" who were imported enmasse are not to be found in universities. Rather, they are found in community colleges which once provided decent quality technical education but now are just useless diploma mills. The community colleges have expanded for them useless subject diplomas like Event Management and Tourism. The college diploma is required for them to get Permanent Residence. They aren't interested in the education. Colleges know that, hence the silly programs offered. I know a bunch of these (unfortunate) Indians who are working general labor, unskilled jobs after graduating, at or below minimum wage. Business owners benefit from this arrangement. Skilled job market avoids these folk and these schools now.

90% of them also aren't exactly wealthy - they were villagers in India. So, they aren't involved in real estate. 15-20 people crammed inside a single rental home is how most of them live. It's quite sad actually.

They go to downtown for work. Most do not live in downtown. Brampton and the even cheaper, Malton + north Etobicoke - the really crappy areas is where they live. Malton especially is where you will find almost every normal-sized home turned into a dormitory of 10+ rooms on rent for the students. I have not seen them occupying condos much, most especially not in downtown.

I’ll take native IQ that understands reality and the natural laws which gives us 5G and quantum comms and stealth fighters over “naturally flexible” mentalities which are viable only in slaves cultures. The zionists attained power by doing like Indian strategy of being the best servants and suck up slaves to Christian and Islamic kings and emirs, until they took their chance at gaining wealth and power eg rothschilds, sassoons, et al.

An Asian man could never succeed in that strategy. We look too differen, too alien, and possess too much power and are too much of a threat to white western supremacy. Notice how they have such a hard line against portraying Asian men positively? Why did they change mulan and the 3 body problem to exclude Asian men? Only Asian men can destroy white supremacy effortlessly, simply by existing.

See, that’s how they get you; appeal to your sense of fair play and decency, and do you think they would be so generous once they’re in a managerial position over you? The Indian cultural tendency is to appear so pathetic to their superiors, to elicit pity so that they can get handouts eg food banks closing due to Indians abusing the system until they attain power and authority which they dispense to their own family eg Cisco.
That was an Indian emigre who abused and ”hacked” the food bank and charity system for their own selfish gain. They could have used their own money to purchase food, being an international student they would have had some money otherwise they would never have gotten in. The fact that they did indicates fraud, which is in line with a very Zionist “no principles” approach of doing anything so long as they gain, and who cares about the ramifications since “I’ll pay them back next life”.

I wrote this before once,
The indian students who came to Canada, the vast majority of them are Indian Punjabi Sikhs who already are very averse to India due to an event that happened in 1984.
If they ever climb up the ladder into positions of power, they will become like the already existing Indian-Canadian community that is well-settled here since 1980s, and they are vehemently anti-India.
Don't expect them to ever have any affinity for India.

The strategy you're speaking of probably works in US. The Sikhs don't go to US much.
