I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

BYD has brought its latest ultra-fast flash-charging tech to Europe, the first outside of China.

3 minutes to around 50%: "I've absolutely never seen anything like this!" The journalists were all amazed.

97% in 9 min 22 sec. BYD has made the dream of fast charging come true.

It’s been 9 months since we moved to 🇨🇳, and a few quick thoughts:

Our kids go to an international school, so they still stay connected to Western culture. But they also have Chinese class every day, and everything around them is in Chinese, street signs, subway announcements, people talking around them, etc. That kind of environment really helps them keep up their Chinese. As Chinese parents, that matters a lot to us. I’ve seen a lot of ABC (American-Born Chinese) kids grow up in the US and slowly lose their Chinese. The toughest part is when they can’t really talk to their grandparents without their parents translating. We really didn’t want that!

Life here is super convenient, especially getting around. In the US, it was mostly drive everywhere, or fly if it was far. Here, you can take a taxi, ride a shared bike or e-scooter, take the subway, high-speed train, or fly. For trips under 2 hours, high-speed train is often easier than flying. It’s also been a totally different experience for the kids; they’re learning how to get around the city instead of just biking around the neighborhood and waiting for us to drive them everywhere.

Labor is much cheaper here. We have someone who comes by every day for 3 hours to help with laundry, cooking, and cleaning. It’s around $9 an hour, so under $600 a month total. That’s been a huge help for us.

Main downside: the weather. It’s hard to compare with the Bay Area. Winter air quality during heating season isn’t great, although people say it’s a lot better than a few years ago. Summers are also hot, and there are mosquitoes.

That said, Shanghai has improved a lot over the years. In general, people seem more polite and considerate now. Drivers are more likely to stop for pedestrians, and people line up for the subway in a more orderly way. Of course there are always exceptions, but that’s true everywhere.

Overall, we’ve been pretty happy with the move. It’s been a great life experience for the kids, and being closer to our family has meant a lot to us.

China TikTok is so messy rn Because now that the Chinese government legalize Counterfeit products of all American goods because of the tariffs their now exposing a lot of Big brands and how their stuff is manufactured and encourages you to buy them in House China for cheaper

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

If Trump's tariffs stay in place, there will be a wave of retail bankruptcies. Retailers that survive will close locations and lay off workers. Even stores that remain open will downsize as businesses cut costs and lay off workers. Landlords will be stuck without tenants and banks will be stuck with empty retail space on defaulted commercial loans. In the end, the U.S. will have far fewer retail businesses left. They will sell a lot less merchandise, but they will do so at much higher prices. Prices will likely rise by more than the tariffs as retailers have to cover their fixed costs on lower sales volumes. But a collapse in retail sales will lower our trade deficit, which is Trump's goal. All the goods Americans can no longer afford to buy will no longer be imported. We win.
