"The #dollar view has unravelled very quickly this year," said State Street Global Markets' Michael Metcalfe. "I think there has been an element of take what was said at the start of the year & just flip it."
Just as jarring, the 'Magnificent Seven' #US #tech giants have been hit for 6. They have been a cash cow for portfolios for years but have shed nearly $2T & been left for dust by #Chinese rivals & #Europe's defense firms.
2010. When I played a scarface #Asian mafia boss lady on a horror film short production. Filmed at the old Hung Fat #kungfu club in Chinatown. Gentrification got their longtime, oldest kungfu association in BC, evicted a few years ago.
Gloria Tsoi, pictured with me, owns & runs the kung-fu club - passed down from ancestors. We've been friends since the 90s.

[09:45] Taking flight: The rise of Chinese EVs in Ireland
The latest Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker to enter the Irish market, Xpeng, had its official launch event in Dublin last night.

Straight out of the #Chinese Cultural Revolution where academics and intellectuals were widely persecuted.
History repeats itself....
Even if the #windsOfChange stir up the blinding #sands of #stupidity you must face reality.
If you want to survive, remember track 1: All the best #cowboys have #chinese #eyes !
"The mechanisms through which this #conflict could compromise national #security are not theoretical... #Chinese authorities, well aware of Tesla’s vulnerability in their market, could apply subtle pressure... Even without explicit coercion, Musk’s awareness of which Chinese facilities would be primary targets in a conflict could unconsciously influence his #business decisions... inadvertently telegraphing US #military priorities."

I think that #canada should rethink its #tariff policy on #chinese #ev s
It might have made sense when our #automobile production was so integrated with the #US but that's breaking down thanks to #Trump

New #introduction post!
I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.
My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.
I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)
When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.
I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.
I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.
Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

This's the collapse of Tesla's resale market.

And there's even more good news for the soon-to-be much poorer billionaire: #Tesla is becoming a #dinosaur being surpassed technologically by at least 2 #Chinese competitors:

It is not just #russia who in control of our failing #democracy - #Chinese Nationalists Praise Trump’s Cuts to Voice of America #voa #Beijing has long criticized the outlet, as well as Radio Free #Asia, for highlighting #HumanRights rights abuses in #China.

Buying things in cash from Chinatown grocers is quite a bit cheaper than buying from the online Asian grocer I use.
Something that costs $9.99 online is $8.50. I can also try different new restaurants as they open. Fave recent new Chinatown spot is Rice Roll Express which has good freshly made cheung fan. Saw a new takeout dimsum spot today that looks better than the one TikTok tells people to go to.
My Chinatown strategy is, if I see a large number of old Chinese aunties in line, I stand in it and get what they get.
It’s never let me down
I also prefer Chinatown to the west side Chinese grocers. It’s just more density of cool things to see.
In the second episode the waiter is taking a day off to go to the police precinct. The cook is asked to take an order off a customer in the dining room. He says "I'm not good interfacing with people" the boss corrects him, " You mean you're not good with white people" This made me thinking, maybe this is me... but nah, I am the same with Chinese people too #actuallyAutistic #Chinese
Watching "Interior Chinatown", it's a series about a Chinese waiter who gets involved in a police case. It's a comedy. I am enjoying it 
there are lots of inside (Cantonese diaspora) jokes and not too much stereotyping - inevitable in these types of shows. Worth a watch if you're bored but don't take it too seriously #Chinese #Cantonese
One of the most useful things I did was to take the Outlier course. Expensive, yes, but I'm a geek when it comes to learning how things work. Understanding this about Chinese characters not only helped me learn better but also helped me understand the logic, philosophical and historical reasons behind why each character was written this way.
"Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.
There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."

Isn't it about time we start rallying against #proprietary #firmware already?
From every #EV and #car being a glorified #telemetry machine, to every chip out there basically harboring #SecretSauce with the "trust me bro" guarantee attached.
Neither #US interests, #Chinese interests or private interests should hold so much power. No one should.
All firmware; I repeat, ALL FIRMWARE should be #OpenFirmware. The firmware isn't open? #Ban the #product outright.

Some gammon is claiming logistics/warehouse businesses in *Mid #Suffolk * (a good 15-20km from #Ipswich) are not employing locals but staffed by "hordes of #Chinese citizens from the mainland".
If any of that were in the slightest true, I would have noticed this - I'm always driving around the area and I'm near enough only #ESEA person there other than my own relatives and a few local healthcare workers, (many of whom work at same place as me!)
