To get an idea of margins:
The BYD Seagull sells under the Dolphin Mini name in South America. The Seagull (see specs) is the BYD’s cheapest electric car launched in April last year. Its price range initially lay between 78,800 – 95,800 yuan (10,850 – 13,200 USD)
In 2022 the Karakax County village of Dutar – named for a Uyghur traditional instrument – was renamed Red Flag village.
I’m sure this has nothing to do with the $600 billion water megaproject that IIRC is supposed to route the Red Flag river through that village…
Names come with utility and meaning. If a village has a new utility, it typically takes a new name (New Amsterdam -> New York, Ville-Marie -> Montreal). Guardian at its finest.
Lmao this is coming from the same safety organization that approved the Tesla Cybertruck?
I’ll take my chances with a car that’s seen EU approval.
Italian company blames Turkish company blames Chinese company. Typical.
No country in that entire supply chain is known for being reliable lmfao this was plain cost-savings and corruption all the way down.
Economic coercion, like:
the embargo on Cuba?
legislation to raise EV tariffs by 100% and block semiconductor exports?
sanctions on India?
sanctions on Pakistan?
tell me more about this “economic coercion”, because it seems like we’re talking to an expert in the matter.
First human trial for a treatment strategy passed (notably, we know that placebo treatments for diabetes fail). This more than passes the bar to justify further large-scale human trials and, clinically, is a very strong indicator of success.
What, is it not a cure until it’s available to the public?
Ooo “mysterious”
Who the fuck cares? Every major space power does weird shit in space.
Subsidized by the government like…
Tesla?

Oh, sorry, you must have meant a traditional car manufacturer like Ford.

Oh, you meant other traditional car manufacturers like GM who took government loans to bail them out from bankruptcy.

They’re made to saturate and destroy markets with cheap goods, driving out the competition. Once there is no competition, they have the market to themselves and can manipulate as they see fit.
Chinese EV makers, or Chinese-made EVs?
One is perfectly fine, reasonable, and logical, while the other is stabbing yourself in the foot because your friend asked you to.
I love having a community where I can continue spreading news like “China economy collapsing” and ignore the unreliable numbers from Caixin and S&P that are reporting manufacturing PMI of 51.1 (official number: 50.8), services PMI being above 50 for months, and unreliable numbers from Citi raising growth forecasts to 5%.
In fact, it’s much better to have a community to critique Chinese companies for the absolute horror of daring to “dump” clean energy resources on the open market at such a low cost that they can only make small profits. This is a real danger to the stability of fossil fuel prices which form the backbone of conventional energy markets.
300 taken out (dead/injured)… Sounds not unreasonable for a missile strike? Iskanders routinely rack up ~10 KIA and ~80 injured
Russian missile strike on Ukraine funeral kills 51
So clearly someone is lying…
Southern and central China are drowning. Since June 18, the regions have suffered their worst bout of flooding in a decade, furthered by a category 4 typhoon that hit the mainland after sweeping through Taiwan Friday morning, local time.
Maersk said both vessels carried cargo belonging to the U.S. Defense and State Departments, as well as other government agencies, meaning they were “afforded the protection of the U.S. Navy for passage through the strait.”

Don’t fall for propaganda like a dumbass. These two ships were carrying DOD cargo.
Don’t bother. “Mixed credibility” only matters if it doesn’t align with the mods’ personal political beliefs. It’s even enshrined in the rules list.
So… 2023 is still way below 2019? Makes a good headline, I guess
It’s been terrifyingly cold this year in parts of Canada. I imagine it’s been a similar phenomenon in Russia?
Why does the US constantly support regimes that abuse, threaten, and/or kill journalists? It’s just an odd coincidence, that’s all.
Yeah honestly I don’t really understand why Ukraine diverted forces to Kursk. They were dug into strong positions in Donetsk… Positions they’ve since had to give up as the Russian advance picks up pace.
Maybe Syrskyi saw the writing on the wall and went for a hail mary?
