@StockSavvyShay Someone needs to tell him tarriffs and wars are not working, perhaps he should try working with other nations rather than threatening them. The fear is gone !!!
@D162Michele Whats with the skin tone comments ?? As one who has lived in both countries / territories for extended periods (and continues to do so), it’s both incorrect and unnecessary.
Ma Jianping, a barbecue shop owner in Tongchuan, Shaanxi province, has recently gone viral on Chinese social media because he bears a striking resemblance to Elon Musk, and people are suggesting that he rename his barbecue shop to "SpaceX Barbecue".
@WhileTravelling Not enough spots for the high achieving Chinese students at these top Chinese universities. Very competitive. That’s one reason why those that have the means choose to go overseas.
So, can you buy a bible in China?
Yes. Absolutely.
If look for bibles on PinDouDou, an online app on my phone, I can order bibles, in China, and also Christian merch, including full sized wall posters of Jesus Christ.
Facts matter.
Multiple Chinese companies are very actively training robots to do household chores.
We're very close now to producing embodied humanoids that will take care of our homes.
CHINESE BATTERY SCIENTISTS are rolling out five-minute electric vehicle charge hubs around the planet.
BYD’s home base, China, has 6,682 ultra-fast stations across 321 cities, the company said. Target: 20,000 in 7 months.
There are plans for another 6,000 around the world, with 3,000 flash charging stations across Europe, plus a further 300 in the UK.
Work is underway to add the chargers in Canada, too—after scientists found a way to maintain charging speeds in below-freezing climates.
The BYD network will “change the game”, with motorists seeing the switch to an EV as a benefit, rather than an inconvenience, the company said. (Taking an old-style car to a petrol station typically lasts 11 minutes with between four and six spent at the pump.)
.
MOST IMPORTANT MARKETS
The most important markets of all, long term, are Asia, Africa and Latin America – and they are already making the transition to clean energy, some far ahead of the west.
Developing countries such as Laos and Ethiopia have already totally banned imports of petrol/diesel cars, while wealthy nations still talk-the-talk about “transitioning” gradually with "targets" in 2030 or 2035.
BYD’s ultra-fast chargers are also being set up in Chile, with demo models expected to go live before the end of the year, a spokeswoman said this week.
.
POWER BREAKTHROUGH
The breakthrough came with a realization that Chinese hardware could solve a power infrastructure bottleneck.
Problem: Electrical infrastructure would have needed heavy upgrades at each station, taking time and money.
Solution: BYD designed chargers which themselves act as massive battery storage units on the grid.
.
COLD WEATHER COUNTRIES
Tests show that the BYD batteries reach 10% to 70% in 5 minutes and up to 97% in 9 minutes under normal conditions.
And in Canada or Russia or the Scandinavian countries, where the cold can be severe? At extreme temperatures of minus 30°C, it can charge from 20% to 97% in 12 minutes.
“This temperature resistance could give the new EV a massive advantage in colder global markets, said ArenaEV, a car review website.
.
GLOBAL TRANSITION
The technology only works on the latest BYD models, such as the Denza Z9 GT, so most EV buyers, even if they have BYD cars, won’t get the benefit until they upgrade. For people who don’t have to charge cars in a hurry, there are many options from many brands.
Ironically, the US-Israel attack on Iran has been a powerful spur to communities all over the world, including Washington-controlled places such as Japan and Taiwan, to move away from reliance on fossil fuels.
The move is good news for the clean tech industry, although renewable energy fans cannot rejoice about this factor—there has been far too much entirely needless death and destruction in Iran. As usual, the innocents pay the price.

Brought my 3 kids to a great pub this morning in Guangzhou to watch Switzerland and Argentina World Cup! Rare to get a 9am kickoff in China, enjoying some nice breakfast, coffee and the best sport in the world! Surrounded by Swiss fans but I’m cheering for Messi to get it done today. Vamos Argentina 🇦🇷
