Now, this is how to build the right incentive for a country with large population and growing middle class to make. Offer the right incentives, provide access to abundant natural resources critical to that specific infrastructure and then entice the company to train, develop its local people to develop technical expertise. Unlike the usual running mouth country who loves to make boastful pronouncements without first establishing the necessary ingredients required to make their endeavors worthwhile.

Chinese cell phone companies went into India, with the hopes of doing business, and building on that relationship, perhaps manufacturing plants could follow.

The Indians wickedly had other ideas.

It's a bit late for that, Chinese EV steamroller has no brakes.
It never even once comes to their mind to, you know be more competetitive, one has to be, well more competitive?

It's always sanctioning and denying the other to do free market activities and never to improve one self.

Pathetic

Many Chinese and Asian family eat simple meals at home and this will drive the average of meal lower.
Not in Malaysia though. Like in Thailand, the average Malaysian is addicted to eating out. Because it used to be really cheap, until recently. In addition, food ingredients are actually getting more and more expensive. Imported food is definitely getting more expensive. Even food that is farmed locally is not spared from the high inflation. The cost of growing stuff and raising animals are climbing quite rapidly due to reliance on imported agri-equipment, agrichemicals and animal feed. In 2020-2021, they blamed it on Covid. In 2022-2023, they blamed it on the Russia-Ukraine War.

Still, the price for eating out in Malaysia is among the most affordable in SEA. Its so affordable that especially for today, the cost of eating out can rival the cost of cooking at home. F&B businesses buy the cheapest ingredients from the wholesale market, while the average Joe buys from the consumer markets. Is eating out healthy? No. But it tastes good though.

The whole point of the US-India infrastructure deal is to delay actual infrastructure projects, embezzle contractor money from the nations involved, and never finish it, so they can keep the Middle East disconnected and down for another decade.

The last thing the US wants is to improve interconnectivity that China could take advantage of. China owns Haifa port and Piraeus port that the plan goes through, they would be some of the biggest profiteers if the rail was actually built.



As expected, India's ego has been blown up to gargantuan proportions after G20.

No, majority control of Haifa is now in Indian hands because of US pressure on Israel over national security grounds about Chinese ownership. The Adani-Gadot group now controls 70% of the port since January 2023 after bidding $1.15 billion for it.

Uighur guys be like "those foreigners flew over by plane just to steal some chickens"?
White boy Reporter POV after looking suspiciously at the Chickens and Cows:

"Yo, Rahman, those pale vampires have never seen a cow before? They look at it like it's an Alien or something"

"Ali, I have heard the Hindustani worship cow and even make love with it like how man and woman do. Maybe they too do and flew all the way to our home to make love with our cows..."

"Astaghfirullah (Allah have mercy)! They must be possessed by Shaytan (Satan)! Lets gather the village and force those demons out, truly insidious beings."

LOL this Asianometry guy can't resist to quote Jordan Scheinder in the end. I like his more technical explanation of the Semiconductor industry, but he still has his bias against China.

About 1 year ago, in one of his videos about the US export ban on Chinese semiconductors. He confidently claimed that China's semiconductor manufacturing technology is at least 20 years behind the latest ones, and that it'll never again be able to catchup after the US ban, even with all the Chinese government's investments. Fast forward to today, he had conveniently not mentioned his old predictions, and had to begrudgingly acknowledge China's achievements.

In this video, he quotes Jordan Schneider that it is still not too late for the US stop China's semiconductor progress. If only the US puts even tighter restrictions on the Chinese semiconductor industry supply chain. I would say, that both of them are wrong again. It is already too late for the US to stop the Chinese from catching up.
I used to follow him on Youtube for his modest semiconductor industry insights. Unfortunately, it eventually became obvious he's an ABC of Taiwan province origin or an early-age immigrant. Total hanjian and imperialist boot licker, likely TI supporter. Unsubscribed and moved on.
