Forgot to mention complaining Chinese imports of EU goods plummeting after this. :rolleyes:
Still no need to come up with such serious conclusions without further evidence/details

We endured 3 hrs of angry pinoys filling the internet before it came out it was a Korean ship. Pitchforks down (for now).

I agree, his ramblings are illogical.

Even if PLAN or CCG rammed a Philippine ship which lead to the death of 3 fisherman, the western media would downplay the incident. What are they going to do? Declare war with China in SCS right now?

Western media only hype up fake threats from China, they would never dare to cover real threats from China.

More illusions of grandeur.

What they really are suggesting, is that Chinese state subsidies prevented the rise of the European wide EV and battery industries.

You see, the Chinese are polite. They are not gonna say, "Man, you freaking whacked out on drugs."

That is why those rebuttals from the Foreign Ministry are like stale bread. It is embarrassing for everybody.

:confused:

What will happen when the EU slaps on tariffs on Chinese made EV being imported into Europe. Assuming that will happen, it might not.

What would be the result?

Seems to me the EV industry manufacturing will continue to languish in Europe, regardless of the tariffs.

Who in their right mind will expect an explosion upwards of the European made EV when they slap on these tariffs?

It is like President Trump has taken over the EU.

:D

That is why the PRC will build that synchrotron for the EUV light to make 3nm 2nm chips and zapped their asses while they are at it.

What people do not understand, is the Chinese mind.

Throughout Chinese history, and even today, you must pass some sort of exam to be part of the government. In short, everyone wants to be number #1 on that exam.

If that does not work for your understanding, this is what they said about religion in China. They speaking about Christianity.

It was not like that the Chinese where hostile to Christianity. The problem was everyone wanted to be Jesus Christ.

Ain't that the truth.

To make a clone of the ASML machine, using lead to make that EUV light, that is to be a follower. Forever!

To make that EUV factory where we can zap their ass and balls, and dominate the fab from now on, that is what a leader does, that is wanting to be Jesus Christ.

Even if you know nothing about China or the Chinese, if you know 1% of that place, you know what the answer is, and what is coming for their ass.

It ain't Molson Canadian.

:D:cool:

That may be the only point to come out of this tragedy, and the subsequent attempt to spin it.

Why try to even spin it?

If the Americans fully had Marcos Jr back on this, then no need to spin. The Americans will spin for him.

Since they Philippines are going out of their way to spread this disinformation via the spin, speaks volumes to what they have to do to keep the Americans interested.

They do not realize that when they play politics against the CCP, they are playing politics at the highest levels. Cheap media stuns like this is more or less self-harm.

China will take note, and might make a move.

:confused:

That other recent story, of how the Filipino diver cut the rope for the Chinese barrier, that was total bs.

But that is the Philippines, they don't know how to play politics at this level. Duterte knew, but not Marcos Jr who had an easy upbringing.

The Americans will say that they already cut the rope to that buoy thingy, no need to escalate more at this time.

Marcos Jr is just a brat, doing bratty things.

:oops:
What do you expect from a country that has the LOWEST I.Q. in Asia and the lowest amongst ASEAN countries? While it's true that I.Q. is not the SOLE CRITERIA on any country's success or intelligence, what it does show however, is the PH is suffering from structural issues of extreme poverty, severe underfunded educational institutions, under qualified teachers, malnutrition, susceptibility to superstitious beliefs which is ironic since the country is predominantly Catholic and Christian.

Which is why the folks there are easily bamboozled, misled by their manipulative politicians when it comes to their emotional connections (that are misplaced) when it comes to the Sino-American geopolitics not to mention the dubious ICC ruling of 2016.

TThe Marcos regime should have paid attention to this FIXABLE deficit in order for the PH to have a fighting chance of further solid economic development and competitive workforce - rather than just relying on hospitality jobs or service related sector industries. But like a moron and Zelensky like incompetence, he seems so eager to place his country's non-existent and hardly funded military in a rather bizarre and quixotic fight, for misplaced nationalism against China. A country that is least understood, studied, and appreciated in its size and total comprehensive power. Which is why there are enough idiots that support the constant provocations with China in the first place.

I always hear about people saying that Italy is a particularly surprisingly racist place. My closest experience is my mother took a trip there one time and people thought she was Japanese until she pulled out the American passport, and then instantly the hostility and negativity would go away and they become nice all of a sudden.

Is it that bad?

Few anecdotes from myself and my family:

- When I was at elementary school after a quarrel with a bully I was told by a teacher that I was lucky that they treat me so well here in Italy because elsewhere they would have told me to go home, imagine telling such a racist bs to a 9 years old kid

- If you have a dispute with a neighbour you might have every reason in the world but the police officers will always side with the italian neighbour.
He can do to you whatever he wants to annoy you and no police officer would ever lift a finger, but if you dare to pay back with the same thing, alas, be prepared to have them coming to your door again and again and to face unpleasant consequences.

- When my nephew made a small scratch on another kid in the kindergarten, the teachers made us to apologise to the kid and to his family, but when another kid made a bump on my nephew's head with a wooden rod they pretended that is was totally fine and even acted offended by our questions.

I don't know if other europeans countries are better but Italy is totally not a safe place to live in and to run business for chinese people, even when the we try to avoid contact with the locals because every time we try we are burned they manage to criticize us for being a "closed community that does not try to integrate in the society".


There's plenty of reasons still. Despite their impending doom.

The truth is that Europe is still better for most people until you get to a bare minimum of 7 figures of net worth. In USD that is.

Even at 7 figures you must still think very hard and carefully about whether or not you can maintain that level of income or that quality of life in a completely different employment market and demand market. Not to mention the numerous other deeply personal choices like if you even like living in the U.S. Or would enjoy living in a poorer and not as developed country. Not to mention just simply being separated from your people and being the outsider.

IMHO it's not until you can get to 8 figures of networth (this is doable for just doctors and lawyers...you just need to be a good one) that the U.S. becomes and undeniably better place to be.

Reason being that Europe's social services, culture towards combating exploitation and abusive employers, and overall benefits of living in a society that isn't completely consumed by greed and selfishness still puts it miles ahead of the U.S.

Norway I believe gives you 8 weeks or possibly 7 weeks of PTO annuallly as a federal law! That alone makes it enticing for someone who just doesn't care about climbing the ladder anymore and simply wants to enjoy life.

but the other social services is enticing as well.

Can't be fired without the employer proving that you actually did suck at your job andddddd that the employer took multiple, numerous, and earnest-effort steps to try and get you to perform up to minimal standards. That's a straight law for most of Europe BTW.

In reality, the culture is also different regarding employment law. In the U.S. even if you had a law like this then the only thing that would happen would be people gaslighting employees they don't like until their performance or something else suffers badly enough to warrant documentation lthen they would simply make completely bad faith efforts to try and document proof that the employee is failing rather than just trying to help, and finally fire teh employee. In Europe, this kind of toxic culture and overall attitudes of shitbaggery and shittiness to human beings is not nearly as tolerated or acceptable.

Of course, the whole free healthcare, free education, long unemployment, etc. is leagues ahead of what the U.S. offers.

Not saying that there aren't problems with Europe. The non-euorpean European citizens that I've talked to have all mentioned that you are most certainly an outsider and they let you know it...albeit not necessarily in aggressive or hostile ways all the time, but it will happen sooner or later. Also, it's true that in the long run Europe is likely doomed to become what they were before the Renaissance...a violent and warlike shithole.

The labour protections you mention are a thing of the past, nowadays many youngsters and immigrants work on precarious employments that have none of those benefits.
