China, which supplies the vast majority of the world's humanoid robots, has suddenly been cut off from its largest export market as the US government moves to curb its reliance on foreign technology. cnn.it/4yIcWz6

@OopsGuess They have not banned Chinese DUV machines yet so that’s how you know they’re not ready for prime time.
This means Chinese humanoid robots are industry leading. Being on the US ban list is like a badge of honour
English

Banning Chinese EVs did not stop BYD from becoming a global champion.
Now Washington is repeating the same failed script with robots and power inverters.
When Chinese companies compete on price, scale, and engineering, America no longer calls it competition.
It calls it a “national security threat.”
Science is politicized.
Technology is weaponized.
Markets are closed.
Then the same country turns around and accuses China of “weaponizing supply chains” and behaving like an authoritarian state.
The hypocrisy is almost perfect.
China does not force the Global South to ban American products, surrender its technology policy, or join an anti-American bloc.
Washington does exactly that to its allies—and still calls itself the defender of freedom.
America’s definition of democracy is increasingly simple:
You are free to compete, provided China is not allowed to win.
The United States does not fear Chinese authoritarianism.
It fears Chinese products surviving without American permission.

@flightsinasia @singaporepaddy1 @airasia Once I escalated to FlySmart, AirAsia refunded me really quickly, without any further clarification on my part.
My documentation submission was all in order though
English

@MikeTeeTea @singaporepaddy1 @airasia How long does it take for the refund to be processed?
Kinda curious since I have not flown AirAsia in a while.
English

@flightsinasia Pity his scam company @airasia has the inability to provide refunds for their cancelled flights

@Itsts2024 @GregKable @BYDCompany Google “Germany taxi”, click on Images and see what brand you see the most

@GregKable @BYDCompany Most BYDs in China are Didis. So they will need to break from that negative association before they want to compete
English

The biggest story here isn't the Da Han, BYD's new luxury sedan
It's that BYD sees itself in the same league as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi
Five years ago, that would've sounded ambitious
Today, it sounds inevitable
5256mm long
Up to 764 hp
1008 km CLTC range

@BarmiesNiagara @BBCSport It didn’t make financial sense for Malaysia. $45-$50m hosting fees and Bernie wanted $70m to renew. With SG and China in the calendar, attendance was down, we were losing money
A one off at reduced/no fee (Bahrain paying for this) is a no brainer though. It’s also Visit MY Year
English

@BBCSport Yes, overdue. Horrible that we had to wait for a psychopath to start a bloody war to get this race back.

@KhaosodEnglish Oh my Buddha. I watched the video. I didn't like their rude behaviour and replies! But nobody said or did anything illegal and nobody has been injured! Meanwhile a few of them apologised. Thickheaded THAI 🇹🇭 🐂 🐂 🐂! Will it be a topic for the next years? 🤦🏽♂️

Thai police: BTS victims can file complaints over Italian youths' behaviour
Thailand's police spokesperson says anyone who believes they were insulted or demeaned by the group of Italian youths who allegedly made obscene gestures and behaved disruptively on a BTS train can file a criminal complaint.
Lt. Gen. Trairong Phiwphan said that because the incident occurred in Thailand, any offence committed by foreign nationals is subject to Thai law. He added that videos and photos circulating online could be used as evidence in any investigation.
He also said any decision to revoke the group's visas would fall under the authority of immigration officials if the legal criteria are met. Police urged the public to avoid confrontation, prioritise their safety, preserve evidence where possible and report incidents through the proper legal channels. #ThailandNews #Italy #ItalyinThailand #อิตาลี่

@RamoftheLamb @KevinCastley @XH_Lee23 Chinese workers are paid more than workers in my country Malaysia, Philippines, India, Thailand, Indonesia, etc.
All democratic countries. Just saying
English

@KevinCastley @XH_Lee23 Free trade is a capitalism based system. How slow can you folks be. The communist countries will benefit because they pay their workers far lower wages. Why are you so impressed by such simple vassalism?

@beefcubee @jukan05 EXACTLY
There’s no guarantee that Apple going to Chinese memory chips will alleviate costs. Absolutely none

@themarquesito @InternetH0F Ahh turns out he did say that but later back tracked. His people obviously told him what you said here
English

@MikeTeeTea @InternetH0F 12th amendment bars that. No person constitutionally ineligible for the office of president can be VP.

@bitemeimadanish @RealAJonsson @ClausMller17 @YammerTime01 @Tesla He is not rooting for the demise of Tesla, he just does not believe TSLA is worth anywhere near $450, just like the Dutch people in 1600s who did not believe a single tulip should cost the same as a Grand Canal house in Amsterdam
English

@RealAJonsson @ClausMller17 @YammerTime01 @Tesla What kind of person roots for the demise of American companies that employ his fellow Americans...
100% you're the first to cry about jobs being lost, while hoping jobs are lost...
English

$TSLA operating margin:
2022: 16.8%
2023: 9.2%
2024: 7.2%
2025: 4.4%
Q2 2026: 1.4%
Yet I still have cultists, today, educating me on how @Tesla "makes more on each car than anyone else.
Tesla investors are the dumbest investor base that ever existed. Except for $SPCX.
