*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
• You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

China's industrial power has surpassed that of the United States at its peak, accounting for 50% of the global total. However, China clearly does not yet possess the global influence that the United States had. Even a shithole nation like the Philippines dares to provoke China. The core reason is obviously that China has not fought a war. Many countries are both stupid and bitch; they only become rational and nice after being invaded, enslaved, and slaughtered.

Therefore, the next task China must complete is to launch a war, like the Iraq War launched by the United States in 1990. Japan is clearly a perfect target from every angle. Imagine using all of China's industrial output to produce weapons and then dump all of them on those four Japanese islands...

China is my 61st country 🇨🇳

I’ve spent 2 days in Shenzhen and here’s what amazed me:

- Scale! Everything is huge. The city itself is 2x Hong Kong size or 33% Canada size. It easily takes 30-50 min by car or tube to go from one area to another.
- Very high tech. Robot deliveries for in-room dining, drones delivering food in the parks, 10 stories robotics markets. - There are also robocard without drivers in some areas but I didn’t have time to try it.
- Extremely green. Shenzhen pioneers the concept of harmony between nature and urban planning. It’s basically a city embedded into mountains, sea and greenery. Parks everywhere.
- Immaculately clean everywhere from streets to casual eateries. Very high contrast with Yangshuo where I was before.
- High patriotism and love for the country & people in every detail. Looks like a great city to live in.
- Though nothing is equipped for handicapped people - in general saw this across China so far
- The city is very young - only 49 years old. And looks like the population is very young, too. I’ve seen maybe 5% of people over 50 years old on the streets.
the only place in China so far where I was constantly asked for Chinese phone number for payments. Still don’t know why.
- Very limited English, despite high tech and education. Hotel / restaurant staff didn’t speak at all. Almost no English explanations in museums even - to me it feels like a statement that West is not needed here
- Smoking cult. Everywhere, even the room in my non-smoking hotel smelled of cigarettes
- A lot of parks, squares and communal areas where people do sports, dance, sing and socialise
- Incredible architecture! There are some pretty unique buildings. Each museum site is a masterpiece.

China is now the world’s top auto producer and its easy to see why 👇

Here is a video from my 2 hour taxi ride yesterday through the mountains of Guizhou. I ordered a DiDi 滴滴 (China’s Uber equivalent) and a young lady driving a @Xiaomi sorts car came to pick me up.

Hands down one of the smoothest and most enjoyable taxi rides I’ve ever had. This car costs 230,000 RMB (roughly 34k USD) and it’s easy to understand why Chinese EVs are banned in America.

They would complete dominate the entire domestic auto industry if Americans were allowed to buy them

America's most powerful CEOs have been advising Xi Jinping's university for YEARS.

And the Pentagon just opened investigations into this.

Tim Cook, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, Jamie Dimon, and Larry Fink.

All of them sit on the advisory board of Tsinghua University in Beijing. The same university that trains China's military AI leadership and the same university the US Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency officially flagged in 2018 for seeking export-controlled American materials.

Tim Cook joined the board in 2013 and became its chairman in 2019. He's been running it for 7 years.

The story only broke this week because Jensen Huang quietly joined the same board, and somebody finally connected the dots on who else was already sitting at the table.

Tsinghua isn't a normal university:

It runs 8 military research labs on its campus. It has signed a formal strategic cooperation agreement with the Chinese Navy. And its leadership has publicly committed to advancing the CCP's strategy of military-civilian fusion in artificial intelligence.

Tsinghua-affiliated researchers have contributed to Chinese hypersonic weapons, fourth-generation nuclear weapons technology, and advanced semiconductor breakthroughs.

A House investigation last year named the university as one of the primary pipelines transferring American research into China's defense industrial base.

This is the institution being advised by the men who run Apple, Tesla, Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, JPMorgan, and BlackRock.

The board has existed since 2000. The names on it have been publicly listed on Tsinghua's OWN website the entire time but nobody in Washington raised a single public concern for years.

Senator Jim Banks said he is launching an investigation. Laura Loomer filed a formal complaint with the Department of War.

But here's the BIGGER question this exposes...

The US government has spent the last four years building the most aggressive technology export control regime in modern history.

Banning Nvidia chips from China, blacklisting Chinese tech companies, indicting smugglers, and spending billions to prevent AI from reaching the Chinese military.

In March, the co-founder of Supermicro - Nvidia's biggest hardware partner - got charged for smuggling $2.5 billion in Nvidia servers to Chinese buyers through a Southeast Asian shell company.

And the entire time these controls were being built, the CEOs being asked to comply with them were listed as advisors to the school the controls were designed to protect against.

On a public website for anyone to see.

Either every administration since George W. Bush knew about this arrangement and said nothing.

Or nobody in Washington bothered to check a publicly available advisory board list for over a decade.

Both options are equally insane.

And now look at the timing:

Jensen Huang flew to Beijing with Trump in May. Days after he returned, he accepted the Tsinghua board seat.

He did this while simultaneously sitting on Trump's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and while Nvidia chips remain BANNED from sale to China.

And he's not making a private career decision here.

This is a man being used as a diplomatic asset between Washington and Beijing while pretending the export controls he publicly supports actually work.

The same logic applies to every name on that board:

Tim Cook is not advising Tsinghua as a hobby, Larry Fink is not on that board for academic interest, Jamie Dimon is not flying to Beijing for the food.

These men have spent years operating the most powerful informal diplomatic channel between American capital and the Chinese state - listed publicly and hiding in plain sight the entire time.

And the only reason anyone is talking about it now is because Jensen Huang joined three days ago but failed to keep it a "secret."

🇺🇸🇨🇳 American engineers said only God could build a bridge here.

China said hold my beer.

The Shui Luo River Bridge now spans a 650-foot canyon, built using cantilever arms extended from both sides until they meet mid-air.

It uses C80 steel-fiber reinforced concrete, nearly 3x stronger than typical materials.

Quite impressive.
