All information states that China only allowed for a limited reopening of chip exports to facilitate negotiations to hand the company back to its rightful owners.

Ie. if negotiations breakdown, China can turn off the faucet anytime, but for now is willing to offer leeway so that negotiations can take place to begin with.

I swear some of you guys need to chill out, with how some of the reactions here have been I'm convinced that you lot would not be satisfied with anything less than PLA soldiers ransacking and burning Versaille.

Here's a catch, with all the doom and gloom that's been taking place these past two months, I challenge anyone to name one area where China has actually lost ground and been put on the defensive geopolitically this year. Just off the top of my head, I can't name any. Even the Philippines Coast Guard fiasco was more of a one time operational failure, rather than something that altered the status quo of the region. So go on, list 2025 blunders that have worsened the geopolitical status quo against China, I'll wait.
If anyone was watching the soybean deal, this is the leverage China is going for. It's a leash on their industries

I'm just making an observation of what the CPC is doing. Whether they are correct or not—I don't know. I hold the belief that the "white mans crusade" will happen anyways. China gave a concession in good faith only to get burned by the Horizon Europe development.
It was going to happen anyway; the point of no return for a genuine relationship between CN and the EU has long passed. It's better that things move quickly now, as CN doesn't need Europe anymore to help further advance its science

Yeah I as I guessed, they only want collaborate with China in their Virtue Signal Crap. The correct response from China is that they should take their crappy Horizont program, print in paper, eat, defecate it and eat it again.

Europe is lagging in so many areas that is almost sad. Internet, Communications, AI, robotics, Energy, EVs, semiconductors <All the biggest pure and play foundries are outside Europe>, name the technology and they are either lagging or falling behind. The only to decent companies are ASML and Airbus. Where they are far ahead of everyone is in stringent regulations that kill startups before they are even born.

With collaborating with China, they could get access to funding, talent, know how and collaborate with one the best universities in the world like Tsinghua. But nope, Europeans lapdogs politicians decided that is best for the continent to appease the megalomaniac crazy politicians in W.D.C. that are leading their US to the ruins.
I do not see this as a problem; there is more for Europe to gain via tapping into Chinese resources than the other way around. In effect, this basically is what the US wanted to implement for CN students, not knowing that they only had an edge because of Chinese students. The student bans the teacher.

Or maybe it's allowed but the buyers don't want it. I can tell you if I have a business in China, I'd drop US imports regardless of the tariffs or regulations on them. I just don't want that shit anymore.

China only removed the tariffs on soybeans that were in retaliation for the fentanyl tariffs that the US removed. Chinese retaliatory tariffs for other US tariffs remain in place. As a result, US soybeans are still more expensive than Brazilian soybeans.

From the article:
Cost is also a critical factor. US soybeans continue to carry a 13% tariff, even after recent relief measures.

When factoring in processing costs, traders say Chinese commercial crushers face considerable financial losses if they opt for US cargoes.

This, combined with the current premium on American beans compared to South American offerings, has left many buyers hesitant.
Recent purchases from China have largely come from state-owned enterprises. According to traders, much of this volume is believed to be directed to government stockpiles, not the commercial market.

This indicates a split in strategy, where state actors fulfil political or strategic objectives while private firms remain focused on price and profit.

My FYP is filled with 'Muslims (who comprise 2-5% of the population) have successfully invaded the West'.

Gaza reports have disappeared.
Someone's getting pushed a lot of Nick Fuentes though.
I mean we can't really ignore the objective fact that both the American left and right has become very anti-Israel, how that came to be, could be many things, but it's certainly not going in the direction Israel wants is it?

The "algorithm" isn't really a simple "promote this thing" or "suppress this", it's more like "count how many people do this thing I want, determine what levers we pulled contributed most to this outcome, and increase that lever". The outcome could be user retention, it could be to promote a certain product, or it could be to promote a certain idea. The lever does not have to be intuitive, infact it could be very counter-intuitive, e.g. if you want people to go against Israel, sometimes you actually just need to promote pro-Israel content to people who aren't from Israel.

From the article:
I am not economic person but i think the soybean card is very effective. Especially aim to those racist redneck farmers MAGA. Not only China buy less soybean but also those farmer already have less or even loss profit from selling. All those time waiting /storing is already eat chunk of those MAGA money. And adding money from fertilizer/chemical company come at due which mean those MAGA need borrow money from bank. Yeah take that MAGA crowds.

Explanation of China's deflation, its effects on economy by Kevin.
It's hilarious that US media and "experts" constantly talk about how deflation in China is a sign of China's economic collapse while totally forgetting about the consistent deflation that accompanied the meteoric rise of US economic and industrial power in the last third of the 19th century.

At the end of the American Civil War in 1865, the US was a relative economic and industrial backwater compared to the leading European nations. By 1900, the US had became the unquestionably dominant economic and industrial power in the World.

(negative inflation is deflation) and cumulative deflation of 48.5%. The US literally deflated its way to becoming an industrial super power.

The deflation that China is experiencing now is similar to what the US saw from 1865 to 1900. Lower prices due to rapid increase in productivity and efficiency is very much a good thing for an economy.

The rubber material used in a bridge on the Yinba Railway was accused of being "substandard" and can be easily cut. The core index of tearing is only 15% of the standard. The construction unit: does not know the material performance and only looks at the random inspection report. Experts: The material is unqualified or the service life of the bridge is shortened.
