She reminds me of a HOA president This woman wouldn't even make it onto a Neighborhood Committee of a small Chinese district yet somehow is head of Foreign Affairs for the EU The EU is a failed system with the dumbest people running it

Vice-President of the European Commission Kaja Kallas: “If Europe cannot defeat Russia, how can we defeat China?” You can spin it however you want, but the reality is that the European Union is an organization made up of id|ots.

It's pretty wild that the Nobel Prize in Economics has never been awarded to an economist based in China.

@pretentiouswhat My anecdotal observation is that EVs are driven much more than ICE vehicles. EV % in my compound's parking lot is very different from those on the road too.

For a long time, the selection of cars in my compound's parking lot seemed strangely unrepresentative of the vehicles on Shanghai's streets overall. While over 50% of new cars in Shanghai are EVs, you'd hardly see any in my compound, other than Teslas. My theory was that wealthier Shanghai buyers, like my Maserati-driving landlord, were still less willing to purchase domestic brands, which I'd noticed in other similar Shanghai compounds. But recently, new Xiaomi and Huawei vehicles have appeared in our parking lot, as well as a Li Auto SUV. Maybe some evidence that Chinese EV brands are finally making products that can win over that specific Shanghai consumer class...? I wonder if "famous tech company that makes cars now" is an easier sell for them versus a luxury offering from a lesser-known Chinese car company.

Chinese carmakers. The few survivors of the inevitable selection process will be tough-as-nails competitors to what will left of the legacy auto industry.

@BotengaM Kallas is the type of cancer cell that's kiling EU. But nowadays cancer cells are masquerading as doctors, giving out diagnosis and prescriptions.

The EU has no Middle East strategy because *checks notes* there's too much going on in the Middle East. You can't make this up. This is the EU foreign policy chief. In 2026.

@WorkersPartyGB China builds 2-3k kms of HSR each year. Doesn't mean a 1000 km or even a 100 km HSR can be built in a year. Most HSR lines in China take 3-5 years to build, from breaking ground to trains running.

HS2 will now cost up to £102.7 BILLION, taking 26 years to build. In China it would cost £4.25 BILLION and take around ONE year to build. Gross incompetence and corruption?

@SPRequiem1 If Gojoseon existed, it's not gonna call itself Old- (Go-) Joseon (or Choson, the name North Korea calls itself, a name that first appeared in an old Chinese book). It's like Native Americans in the 16th century telling you they are 'natives of America'.

So you're telling me Gojoseon, a civilization older than China, never created their own writing scripts, had to introduce Hanzi 2000 years afterwards, and never wrote anything about itself until another 1000 years later, in 13th century?

The fact that "The Last Emperor" was even allowed to be made is a historical miracle, an absolute miracle. It could never have been more before that point, and it could never be made today. The Deng government gave Bertolucci and his Western film crew control of the Forbidden City for 2 months! You think Xi is giving Christopher Nolan or Denis Villenueve the entire Forbidden City for 2 months? Plus, there's a climactic sequence of the movie openly critical of the Cultural Revolution, and the Deng govt was OK with this. It probably helped that Bertolucci was "Communist but also cmon lets get real finally" in way that matched Deng Thought.

The biggest shipyard in China and the biggest shipyard in South Korea both fit inside the Solano Shipyard. 6.5 miles of waterfront on a federal deep-water channel used by Panamax class, destroyer-sized ships. There are 365,000 skilled workers within 50 miles. Just sayin'.

Latest shipbuilding numbers are out from BRS and they are not good. China had gone from 51% in 2022 to 70.9% in 2025. That is from 2,107 ships to 4,055.

For someone who still believes in the American dream, you're just too naive. 🤡US diplomat in China: 'It has nothing to do with systems, beliefs, or culture. We must stop China from succeeding, even if it means plunging China back into poverty.'

@GordonDimmack This station cost 52.8bn RMB, or around £5.8bn and took 6.5 yrs to build. No idea about the £16.5bn price tag. It's good for 700-1500km of 350kmph HSR in China.

UK news: HS2 could cost up to £102.7bn and may not open until 2039 (BBC) This is Chongqing railway station rebuild in China. It cost £16.5bn and took only around 3 1/2 years to complete. Their high speed rail (350km/hr) cost just £5.9bn and took 6 years

“Does President Xi bring others here too?” Hard not to laugh when Trump interrupted the tour just to ask Xi Jinping if he was the only leader ever invited to that historic garden. Xi tried to make him feel special… then casually mentioned Putin had already been there too. One exchange summed up the entire trip: Trump chasing validation while Xi stayed ten steps ahead. Do you think Xi also laughed after that?
