Russians can look forward to driving some 'old man's joy' EV vehicles as featured at the Jinan New Energy Automobile Expo. For the modern Russian man, "driving such a car not only showcases their taste and style, but also impresses the onlooking ladies with their refined demeanor".

"China’s Fujian air wing is slowly taking shape, possibly making it the first carrier worldwide capable of launching 5th-generation stealth fighters from its decks." Bizarre claim to make. 5th generation F-35c's can currently operate from the two US supercarrier classes in service, and F-35b's...

Technically the only white people are albino's, but I realize the OP is refering to people from European or Euro-centric nations such as the US, Australia etc. But yeah I agree with others, the post has an underlying racist tone and negative stereotyping. And I'm not being reactive, I'm not...

Just curious, what would the USAF do if China had another balloon 'accidently' wander into US airspace but at a much higher altitude? 120,000 feet is roughly the upper limit for high altitude balloons (although a specially designed balloon achieved a record 171,000 feet), would a Raptor firing a...

Yeah it's going to be quite complex, I believe that we will actually need to buy an apartment in Wyoming to gain tax residency. My brother and business partner is a public practice accountant but we operate under IFRS not US GAAP, NZ has about 2,000 pages of tax law compared to the 50,000+ pages...

I figured that, tax policy seems to be most friendly in the least desirable states to live in. We won't have to live in Wyoming, just maintain a small office there (probably at a Lawyers office) and drop in once a month to have a boardroom meeting. There is an entire industry of Lawyers and...

Food. We won't be manufacturing there, just registered there for one obvious reason, we're going to license and contract manufacture in other states. Second choice is Delaware.

I already knew about Wyoming, we have long term plans of basing our company there when we eventually enter the North American market.

I am opposed to most types of gambling from a moral perspective, but if it is illegal gambling will just go underground and lead to corruption to operate.

It can happen naturally over a long period of time as a person masters their field. But there are also certain practices in some religious and spiritual traditions that can be used to enhance abstract thought processes. Zen masters for example put their students through such exercises. One I did...

Conceptual intelligence can be approximated by the use of IQ tests, although they are very biased towards certain functions. Conceptual intelligence gives us our capacity to arrange/rearrange and process data, but is very limited compared to the power of abstract or non-conceptual intelligence...

And yet given all that is true, it's the US who is 'jealous' of China.

And the idea that 45 trillion $US in US stocks and 16 trillion $ US in European stocks are just going to get up and move themselves to Asia, without any explanation, is a bit fanciful. I'd actually like to hear him explain why this is going to happen.

CCP will have to stop publishing GDP data next.

It already is in terms of shareholding. It is not only a dual listed company on the Taiwan and New York stock exchanges, the majority of it's capital is US backed. It's single biggest shareholder is CitiGroup with just over 20%. It's a similar situation with ASML. This talk from some of the US...

It looks other worldly, very ominous.

I wonder what the thought processes of the artist were at the time this piece was created. Or maybe they were just taking the piss by making it a giant buttplug. From the twitter comments: It's to plug troops from escaping in the rear

Yup, been through that with both Russian and Ukrainian women, not exactly the most truthful people I'd ever met. In fact of the hundreds of people I'd worked with from Russia and Ukraine I struggle to remember any of them not being pathological liars. 70 odd years under the Soviet system did...

Chinese civil aviation might be the next industry in the cross hairs of US regulators and lawmakers. New restrictions on access to US universities and research departments for Chinese nationals might be under consideration.
