Remember that these imported Western colonial middlemen were roughly 5% to 6% of Southern Vietnam's pop yet controlled roughly 70% to 80% of private commercial and industrial sectors. Sob stories from colonizers are always 100% self victimized narrative of local Nazis
扎克伯格的妻子 Priscilla Chan,讲述了自己华裔家族从越南乘船逃难的经历。🤯 她是越南华裔难民的女儿。越南战争期间,她的父母和祖父母为了寻找更好的未来,决定乘船逃离越南。她的父亲家有 6 个孩子,母亲家有 10 个孩子。为了寻找更好的未来,两边的祖父母决定冒险逃离越南。 但他们担心,如果全家人挤在同一艘船上,一旦出事就可能失去所有孩子。于是,他们将两家的孩子两两配对,分别送上驶向南海的小船。那时没有互联网,没有手机,甚至无法确定彼此能否平安抵达。临行前,长辈们只留下一句话:“我们会在另一边见到你们。” 当时这些孩子只有 10 到 25 岁,她的母亲甚至还是一个十几岁的少女。最终,所有人都活着抵达了目的地。 Priscilla 说:“而我现在还能坐在这里和你交谈。所以我怎么可能不相信,更好的未来是可能的呢?” “有了这样的经历,我怎么可能成为一个悲观主义者呢?”

Funny how Singapore has no problem supporting genocide against Palestine (inc arresting Muslim fighting Israel) But draw the line at consenting adults having an affair & blocking the side piece from re-entering, so to perpetuate their master's racist propaganda against China

EV adoption rate is a function of price and operating costs. European car makers have been slow to pivot to EV, slow to volume meaning high prices and quick to deliver on lobbying rather than extended EV line-ups. The incoming Chinese have exposed this by introducing affordable EVs and taking an unexpectedly high marketshare - in October EVs reached 32% marketshare. Western car makers resistance to EV adoption WILL undermine their competitiveness and WILL open the door to further marketshare dilution. The game has changed and the traditional push back on regulations through the lobby WILL backfire. The pity of this, is Nissan was lightyears ahead in U.K. with an affordable LEAF and a battery gigafactory in 2011; a lead that it has allowed to be ceded to Chinese imports. The car industry thrives on innovation. You cannot prevent innovation; today in EV and software defined cars; with tariffs or lobby - you have to retort with competitive innovation in compelling products.

中国経済崩壊論の盲点は、不動産後の成長の中身を見ないこと。 日本は代替エンジンを育てられず停滞。 中国は不動産がGDP比5%強に縮小する中、ハイテク・EV・ロボットが二桁成長で穴を埋め、調整と新産業育成を同時進行させている。 調整長期化はゆっくり底を固めてる段階。 崩壊論は願望にすぎない。

NGOs as a whitewashing extension of US imperialism.
I’m honored to join the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) to explore opportunities for economic growth through Kenya’s creative industries.

Germany was never denazified.
Germany's Merkel criticizes Palestinians for "not confronting" Hamas: What surprises me is that we have heard very, very few people from the Gaza Strip critically confronting Hamas.

Fuck Ukraine
Ukraine’s fight is our fight, too. If Putin succeeds, America and our allies will be less safe. That’s why I’ve stood with Ukraine from the beginning and why I’ll keep fighting to make sure Ukrainians have what they need to defend their country and their freedom.

So, the "Chinese spy" was not actually a spy, and the whole story was racist fear-mongering about China

The most frustrating thing about the Philippine right is how dishonest they are with the Philippines' economic history. "Vietnam neoliberalized, the Philippines refuses to do so and that is why we have no industry." What an idiot. The Philippines is far more neoliberal...

NATO arms come from East Asia suppliers so an East AsIan war would mean further NATO weakening everywhere militarily. More countries will revolt, like what happened in the Sahel. More NATO puppets will fall, like the Arab dictatorships.

It will be a more desperate war than Ukraine. NATO armed Ukraine for 8 years, and in 3 years NATO barely hold the line. Japan-South Korea-Taiwan doesn't have such luxury.

The whole NVIDIA scandal is the start of asset seizures against Taiwan so US can start a Ukraine-like East Asia war. Russia will soon encircle US trade in Europe, Iran in Eurasia, and China in APAC. No world center of resources + multifront quagmire = US 💥

So, what is this really about? Why did most of the bourgeois media outlets declare her a spy? There is a story here and its not about some moralistic nonsense about infidelity in a society that protects Epstein predators.

It’s always funny when pro Ukraine accounts accuse hamas of basically being Zelenskyy
If you support Hamas, you support the purposeful sacrifice of thousands of Gazans for the sake of making Israel look bad

Piece of shit checks out
Da Nang has the worst housing situation I have ever seen, and it will likely ruin your trip. I am not a budget traveler, looking for the cheapest choices. I was happy to spend over $1,000/mo on rent. The issue: quality is extremely hard to come by. 1. Housing is Temu tier. You turn the tap and it falls off. The windows have large gaps meaning there's no sound isolation. The shower is in a fixed position meaning it sprays out the door. All of this actually happened by the way. If housing regulations exist in Vietnam, they are being ignored. 2. Water & mold. Shortcuts are taken everywhere. Including the roofs. Over half the houses we saw had significant issues. We're talking actual leaking ceilings, and entire walls full of damp. 3. Noise. It's almost impossible to escape. From full on construction sites, to kareoke in the streets, Da Nang is 24/7 auditory overload. It took us nearly a week to find a place, and even then, we settled for livable rather than good. If you want to come here, you have a few options... 1. AirBnB. You're taking a gamble at the location & quality. In Vietnam, each street is a different world. One street may have four houses under construction. You turn a side street, and you are in a quiet, calm, local neighborhood. This is why it's so important to see not only the house, but the street as well - at multiple times of the day. The upside here, is you can likely get refunded and leave at any time if there are significant issues. 2. Facebook. If you want to completely waste a few days, try finding a place via facebook. The agents that contact you will completely ignore every single criteria you have, be it: location, price, noise. They have most likely not actually seen the property or area before. Perhaps more frustratingly, they will not share the exact address, unless you schedule a time with them to visit. This is to prevent you from going and seeing the location, and confirming there is no construction going on nearby. 3. Guerrilla House Hunt. The third option is to walk around the areas you like, which is what I did. This way you trade your time for certainty over the viability of a location. 4. Nepotism. If you know vietnamese you'll have a much better time. I'm sure if you know the right people, I'm sure you will have access to much better options than on the public market. Contracts. You will be pressured into signing contracts that force you to stay in a place for t least 3 months. We negotiated for over 2 hours to get a break clause for the event of new construction appearing during our stay. You will have to wrestle and argue with them to only take monthly by month, but you're going to struggle a lot to find a decent place if you do this. Pricing. The price to quality of housing in Da Nang is the worst I've personally seen. For $1,000, you can get a house in Crete, an apartment in Cyprus, or an entire villa in Chiang Mai. You will need to spend almost $1,000 for a decent one bed in Da Nang, and it may become a construction site three weeks after you sign the lease. Overall. The housing situation has ruined my experience of the city so far. For most people, it will be non viable to live here. This is a huge shame, as Da Nang is incredible in almost every other area I can think of.

日本すごい病にかかってる奴も多いよね🥹 日本ぜんぜんすごくない。 ちっぽけな島国。資源も経済力もない。経済力があったのは遥か昔のこと。 民族は貧弱。政治リテラシーは低い。他力本願。ヒューマニズムもない。 まあまあ真面目さが取り柄だったが、今は真面目を馬鹿にする始末。未来はないよ。

99% of front-end wafer fabs in Malaysia are foreign-owned, SilTerra is the only domestically controlled player but w/ 40% held by a Beijing-based investment fund (Mimastronics/CGP Fund). SilTerra accounts for less than 0.2% of Malaysia's total semiconductor revenue.
Very disingenuous. Out of all the middle income econs, only Malaysia has front end wafer fabrication capabilities. Meanwhile our own ATP capabilities are looked down. Even tho we have capable domestic like Integrated Microelectronics Inc. + IC design companies like Xinyx Design.
