David Woo talks for one hour straight non-stop!

He just kept on going. Okay, I do not agree with him on the direction of the US stock market, but he said he was only to play it quick, just get in and out. So he is prepared for some volatility to the downside.

The interesting stuff was about the US China struggle at the moment, and the AI tech.

This is not period over time and it does not capture full intelligence of the society.
you can see steep rise in Asian IQ while Europe has so much slower rise. Europe was losing far more to Americas.

DPP are Japanese-wannabes. Some (many?) of them are descendants of Japanese colonial settlers who had no means to return at end of WW2, stayed back in Taiwan, and changed to Chinese names. Should DPP ever succeed in creating Republic of Taiwan, first thing they'll do is to be absorbed into a military alliance with the US, and second thing is to seek a federation/commonwealth with Japan.

KMT are 华独: They identify as Chinese, but they want to run Taiwan as a separate country known as Republic of China. Pro-unification KMTers are marginalized.

At least if you're genuinely japanese you have an excuse since you can't change your ethnicity.

A lot of them however are really just Fujian Chinese settlers who were dogs to the japanese for benefits.Of coz they wanna say Japan did nuffins wrong. After all if they don't they will be admitting their ancestors were traitors and collaborators.

Simandou start delivering iron ore.

Why is Obama in this picture?

My twitter feed is suddenly devoid of anything middleast (which is what i used it for primarily), and filled with "deport Arabs from West" / far right nonsense. Seems Netanyahu's paid influencers are taking effect.

CNN is reporting the Nexperia situation but their article seems to invert the chronology making it seem like China banned exports then the Dutch took control as retaliation. In other words, it seems to cast the Dutch as victims:

The dispute is just one part of wider trade tensions between the United States and China. The Nexperia saga began in earnest this past December when the US Commerce Department put Nexperia’s parent company, China-based Wingtech Technologies, on a list of companies facing trade restrictions.

Then, this October, China’s Ministry of Commerce banned Nexperia China and its subcontractors from exporting specific finished components and sub-assemblies manufactured in China. The Dutch government took control of Nexperia following this move.

Incredible, history revisionism happening in real time.

I have a feeling Palmer Luckey someday will fall flat on his face for getting something wrong big time. He's saying countries that value life are going to deploy drones more than countries that don't. Funny since the US is a late comer in seeing value in drones while China is building drones up the yin-yang. Guess which country he thinks values life more. Or you can look at it this way and see how Americans don't like drones because they like to be control and has nothing to do with valuing life. If you've heard what fighter pilots think many of them argue in favor of having manned pilots over automation.
