ASEAN countries slightly preferring China to US can be explained by Indonesia and Malaysia, 2 Muslim countries developing a negative perception of US due to its funding and backing of Israel in the Gaza war.

While Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines remain anti-china.

However, its still a very positive development for China as geopolitically, Indonesia and Malaysia are the 2 most important countries in ASEAN.

Indonesia especially with its $1 trillion economy that's growing at a rate of 5-6% will be a major regional player in the future, so it's best for china to push for friendly ties.

US has exposed themselves due to their backing of Israel

HSR was probably a watershed event in Indonesia that not only showcased high quality Chinese manufacturing but is also a source of national pride for Indonesians as well.

Sir its a must HAVE among ASEAN, it elevate your status from developing to develop country in an instant and you don't have to do silly and expensive advert like Incredible India and make a joke for yourself.

UNSC tried to condemn strike on Iran's embassy; US, UK, France rejected it

Also US: Iran, don't attack us please

Israel has pulled US into a circus where the latter has defined itself as an absolute clown. Just look at this logic.. [US] : "we weren't involved in the attack on your embassy (which is a war crime and violation of the Geneva Conventions), but we also refuse to condemn the attack".

Yes, china is quite well governed but China’s growth rates are for the most part - catch-up growth to the technological frontier and the U.S. is pushing the technological frontier. They aren’t directly comparable and all else equal outside of gdp per capita, China would grow faster than the U.S.
Off the top of my head, China is at the forefront of 5G telecom, NEV and batteries, HSR, solar panel and wind turbine, supercomputer, AI, quantum computer and quantum physics, space technology, military aircraft, and shipbuilding. As for China's manufacturing prowess, it's almost as powerful as the US and EU combined.

Let me guess: those humanitarian aid workers lost their lives in Gaza by killing themselves with drone-strike.

When the "debt trap" propaganda fails, they resort to terror attacks.

Good.

Gallium Has More Than Doubled in Price on China Export Curbs​

  • Gallium exports haven’t recovered since Beijing’s restrictions
  • Asian nation refines some 94% of the metal’s global supply
Prices for gallium are close to their highest since 2011 as China’s export restrictions crimp global supply and hurt buyers of the metal used in a swathe of high-tech applications.

I've noticed something about how US has been handling events in the past several years compared to how it handled events 20+ years ago.

20+ years ago, the US planned out most of it's plots very carefully before enacting them. Now, they appear to make decisions spontaneously on the spot without much thought about the repercussions. The only explanation for this change that I can see is that the US now has too much on it's plate to handle at once. It is so overwhelmed with issues appearing from every angle that it can no longer conduct a proper analysis and forecast before making decisions.

In the past, the US hid its crimes fairly well. Even if the crimes were exposed, the damage control was sufficient. That doesn't happen anymore. Now, it is not only the crimes surfacing in the open, but also mistakes being made again and again based on poor judgement. I see this negative trend increasing with the US.

why you think US automotive industry not competitive?. Just because Europe cannot afford those vehicles does not mean they are not competitive. look at large capacity engines, Body on frame and 4Wheel drives systems (Borg Warner) and cars that pull very high Gs, development of tire and brake technologies. There is little statistical reliability difference between Japanese made in Japan and those in North America when you look at over long term (not that disposable German). Airbus Cannot exist without American technology just like many other things you have to look at things closely.

lol without Fracking what will Europe Do? where that LNG ends up. do you know what is alternate if there was no Fracking? and this without Trump and Arab mixing together to create new realities.
Lol, American cars are only competitive in their own small little market, heavily protected by US emissions and crash testing laws favouring trucks more than any other country in the world.

Competitiveness is defined by your ability to sell things that people want. Nobody wants to buy a giant American truck

That Hikvision ban seems to be working out wonderfully.

These allegations were directed towards an individual born in Taiwan.


I think it's pretty clear by not saying "I'm Taiwanese not Chinese", that this guy is clearly a reunificationist.
It's because the Anglos don't really see countries as nation states, but tribes; perhaps because their ruling class are Anglo Zionists but also because of a worldview that places anglo caucasians at the top ie the Five Eyes, and lesser non english speaking whites below them eg Romanians, Armenians.

It's why they consider a person from taiwan as being PRC; even a singaporean TikTok CEO is considered PRC because they Anglos don't see nation states, they see tribes and peoples as bloodlines.

Impressive that Biden is willing to throw everything and the kitchen sink at Ukraine and Israel while seemingly not caring one bit about all these liabilities building up rapidly as we speak. It’s hard to determine when the system will eventually crash but given how ridiculous things are heading now, it won’t be long until the inevitable finally happens. One must wonder what kind of shock Biden and this team will be under when everything finally falls apart on his watch and there is nothing he can do to save the nation. Really, it’s almost like a loony toon cartoon only much less funny
