Wow, this is quite momentous: BYD now sells more EVs than Tesla in Europe for the first time, after Tesla sales took a huge dive following Musk's political alignment with Trump. "Make America great again" 😏

🎉 Qwik 1.14.0 is here with a HUGE improvement! Details in the blog post 👇

Another example of Chinese local government streamlined handling of complaints and suggestions is the 民意直通 小事快办 WeChat portal that translates to "Public opinion leading to quick resolution of small matters". Snap a picture, give the location and leave a comment.

Can we please stop with this fiction that there are "only 2-3 profitable Chinese EV companies"? I count at least 8 profitable NEV operations + CATL/Huawei. And it is the only market that is close to profitable selling NEVs at the sectorwide level after accounting for subsidies.

I don’t know what to say anymore. As doctors, we can’t stop a genocide and we can’t end a famine. We provided a diagnosis - genocide. We provided a prescription to end the genocide - for Canada to end its complicity and direct involvement in Israel’s crimes now.

This was easily one of the most unhinged and fear-mongering speeches by a Pentagon chief in Asia ever, with relents of the worst times of the Cold War. Funnily enough, Hegseth started his speech by saying that "for a generation, the United States ignored this region" because

This popped up on my timeline and was just a reminder of some of the sillier narrative framing of Chinese EVs just a year and a half ago.

For the last 9 yrs under Trump & Biden, the US has put crippling export controls on China like on semiconductors to destroy their AI sector. We've banned apps, telecom & tried to destabilize and overthrow CPC Now Scotty Bessent says China is wrong & evil for retaliating by

We French forcefeed ducks and geeses by raming pipes down their throats several times a day during weeks so that they develop fatty liver disease. We then kill them and eat their liver. It's called "foie gras", universally loved and eaten throughout the West, and practiced since

Yet another perfect illustration why it'd be so potentially devastating to sever links between U.S. and Chinese science, as the Trump administration is trying to do. A Chinese biotech company found what Dr Norman Sharpless, former director of the National Cancer Institute, says

Wow. A fascinating old Uyghur script i found in the police station which i snapped a quick pic of. It was written by Kyrgyz herdsman on sheepskin which says: “In the name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful … To the officials of Tashkorgan. We, the herdsmen of Paiyike,

This tells you all you need to know about the shameful state of France right now: a country led by a man under an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity has just arrested a French elected official completely illegally in international

Mehar Khursheed The flotilla in 2010 was 6 vessels. The IDF killed 10 of the people on board, 6 'execution style' according to a UN investigation.

REMATCH IN LONDON The Miracle on the Han River ended with the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997. As the twin spectre of capital flight and currency speculation descended on South Korea, the Won lost half its value. The govt had to go hat-in-hand to the IMF for a $58 billion

I'm normally not a fan of Piketty (what kind of person calls their book 'The Capital' but simultaneously badmouths Marx and says he "never managed really to read" the original "Das Kapital"?) But, credit when credit is due, this is a genuinely fascinating study. It is in fact

Whilst living in Xinjiang, I just finished some AI research. Basically doctors still often look at cancer images by eye. So, I built an AI that automatically scans a cancer image, spots patterns linked to death, and tells the oncologist which person needs aggressive treatment or

I went to an American & Uyghur Wedding in rural Xinjiang. Many Americans visited, it was there first time visiting China and they LOVED it here. They were completely shocked at how it’s different to expectations..

Surprise, surprise, turns out we were lied to about the WMD excuse, again 🤷‍♂️ Src: edition.cnn.com/2025/06/17/pol…

I keep seeing scores of people saying that unless China intervenes in the Middle-East, it will somehow be their end. Meanwhile, fascinatingly, here’s what Oriana Skylar Mastro, who used to be the Pentagon's top strategic planner on China and is now a professor at Stanford, has
