I have a 2008 Honda that my mom gave to me because she didn't want it anymore but also didn't want to bother selling, a 2018 Camry my wife bought new, and a 2012 Sienna I got used 4 years ago when I was preparing for my first kid. They're all low mileage (70-85K) so they'll last us a long time. Our family's next China move oppertunity is my kids transition from high school to college so they won't last another 17 years but I'm not expecting the US to hang on long enough in the superpower race before someone like Newsom comes in and realizes that the US better import Chinese cars or end up driving relics while Africans and South Americans drive Huawei Maexstro and roll up to Americans like, "What are those!?"

Don't place too much faith in Newsom or any democrat to allow Chinese EV into the U.S. The anti-Chinese technology imports are a bipartisan view here in the U.S.

Honestly, I don't mind hanging on to my c6 Corvette Zo6 for a little longer, even if it is a relic in the coming years. I guess the Africans and South Americans can choke on the exhaust and rumble of my LS7 for the time being, until I can import a Xiaomi su7 ultra. That thing is a beast, and would make a great daily family hauler too.

If India is truly serious, it should start by destroying the Taj Mahal right this instant to prove what a loyal Hindu nation it is.

If a malicious actor really wanted to cause havoc, I can see a few hundred bots spreading a campaign on Indian social media about the Taj Mahal being a symbol of Muslim domination over Hindus (which it frankly was) and in order to “revitalize” a new Hindu Indian future, it must be destroyed. Imagine the hangover they get after the bloodlust fuelled rage of thousands of young Indian men with pickaxes destroying one of the only significant globally recognized cultural symbols of their country. I can imagine a bunch of them looking at each other with ever slowly seeping in lucidity the day after and saying “Oh no… we did a veddy veddy bad thing, didn’t we sirs?”

The US is now whining about China not selling them the means to make their own domestic US magnets. Now the chip playbook that the US used against China is being played against themselves.

Maybe if those war mongering bastards stop trying to weaponise Taiwan and cause havoc around its neighbourhood and maybe treat China with proper respect, the USA wouldn’t have had this issue. It’s almost as though China needs to tie the USA down and give them a painful spanking in public to force them to finally say uncle. I mean with the lack of respect they give others, it’s literally the only way to make them see reason. I mean it worked for USA with regards to the Japan, why can’t it work for China in regards to the USA. I mean Onlyfans gives a good blue print on how to pacify these perverted fools, so it’s only fair that the USA gets the punishment they have been literally begging all this time otherwise why would they sink themselves to this level, it’s like they want to be punished

You know which country wastes excessively time, energy and taxpayers dollars trying to rewrite its past and hope no one notices? India.

The more I read about India, the more I realize loads of "Indian" things have foreign origins. A lot being from the middle east (not necessary Islamic although that is the case for a lot) and british. For example Urdu and Hindi have loads of loan words. A lot of food, clothing and buildings have middle east style due to Mughal influence. Actually hell their government style has that influence since the guys in charge were sultans and later brits. The capital of Gujarat (Modi's home state) is called Ahmedabad and historically that has been a trading port between the Middle East and the South Asian continent. Congress party was founded by a brit and the the word Hindu itself comes from Persian.

If you didn't know this? Well its probably done on purpose. I mean those name changes are quite recent. There's a deliberate effort to downplay a lot of foreign stuff and claim it as Indian. And then you wonder why there's so much energy wasted between Hindus and Muslims because it turns out Islam has been in India for a long time and had a huge influence. You can't just ask its hundreds of millions to just go away and pretend it didn't happen. And denying their link to India, just makes things even more confusing.


Why am I talking about India again instead of China? Well I just wanted to give a case example of a country that is wasting loads of time trying to "destroy" or rewrite stuff about foreign influence in its country. Like will it work in the long term? Who knows? Maybe they will censor the internet so all of the above you will not know about in the future. But then that will mean a huge disconnect between the narrative and reality which will confuse people because things will eventually not add up. When you tell a lie, you need to cover it with more lies so eventually you have a heavy load trying to constantly hide. See Operation Sindoor for example.

And in the end its probably selective anyway. If India is truly serious, it should start by destroying the Taj Mahal right this instant to prove what a loyal Hindu nation it is.

Agreed. It gets worse. In an act of desperate copium or delusion. A number of Jai Hinds these days have been trying to claim that the British Raj was also part of "Indian civilization." They were claiming that "Indian" sepoys have defeated the Qing during the Opium Wars. They even credited the British invasion of China's Tibet to "Indian" sepoys. They want to claim the glory of the British Raj, yet complain about British colonialism.

This nonsense and the name-changing point to one thing: India is an artificial nation. They don't have a true civilizational identity. India is a British post-colonial construct. Indian territories were never organically formed, the were hastily lumped together by the British. The Seven Sisters, for example, was formed from a piece of China's Tibet and former territories of the Burmese Empire. The other princely states predated "India." There was never an "India" in the past. So in order to justify India's existence, the Indian elites and Jai Hinds fill in the gaps with British Raj legacy, all the way to Akhand Bharat.

After independence, the Indian elites inherited the British Raj and all of its imperialism. New management, same imperialism. Their ambition with China has always been consistent from Day 1. To inherit what the British stole from China. To separate Tibet from China and turn it into another colonial buffer state like Bhutan. That's what Nehru was doing when he was talking about forming a non-aligned brotherhood with China. The mainstream Jai Hind view till today is that India borders Tibet, not China, which tells me that India continues to harbor hostile intentions towards China.

That's why I am not optimistic about Sino-India ties. China is a civilizational state, while India is a colonial construct. There are too many contradictions within India for it to exist. The only future where ties could realistically improve is when India disintegrates. The cracks are getting more obvious. Indian-occupied Kashmir is revolting, the Northeast is revolting, and the South is increasingly unhappy to keep fattening the Northern Cow Belt. India's neighbors are increasingly turning away. For China, it's best to continue improving ties with India's neighbors and watch India unravel on its own.

I'm probably one of the few people who is actually ok with the US selling more weapons to Taiwan. Because all of that will eventually belong to China. Why hasn't the US sold F-35s and Aegis systems to Taiwan? Because deep inside, they are fearful of Chinese espionage and the possibility of defection. In Taiwan, opinions are shifting away from separatism. More and more Taiwanese would rather stick to the de jure status of Taiwan being a part of China rather than risk a stupid war with the mainland for zero material benefit.

The PLA doesn't actually need the US-made weapons of the ROC military. But it does help when both Chinas need to defend Chinese territory. When Ma Ying-jeou was in charge, the ROC came close to a naval war with the Philippines back in 2013. In 2012, that ROC have confronted the Japanese at Diaoyu Islands with coast guards and water cannons. I'm looking forward to see that returning one day.

India condemns the demolition of a statue of Lord Vishnu by Thailand on the disputed territories with Cambodia.

The statue was constructed in 2014, so its not a UNESCO heritage. This is pure hypocrisy. India have demolished its own centuries-old Babri Masjid and then built a brand new Ram Mandir temple above it in 2024. They didn't care about hurting Muslim sentiments.

Here we go again with TikTok. I'm starting to get nervous. I just hope it's not some stupid deal where they sell off the algorithm too.
