    One thing the US definitely excels China is its act of cutting supplies of equipment to China. US does not try to win by upgrading itself, but by dragging others progresses. What a great country!

    The fin-Market;s have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stock;s and bonds. My portfoliio of $750k is down to $592k any recommendation;s to scale up my return;s during this crash will be highly appreciated.
  • @pakiethoko
    The Chinese cars are gaining momentum in South Africa too. Great value for money, after sales support and they seem to listen to critics and keep improving.
  • Video never mentions that Tesla buys the LFP blade battery from BYD for some of the models in china. Very big development as it shows BYD is still a huge supplier for others not just themselves.
  • @joseurena6549
    Given USA's overtly negative actions against China, it is appropriate and in China's national interest to become self-sufficient in air travel.
  • @Michael-ik8yi
    Forty years ago, China was still concerned with how to feed its people, but today, we do not find it strange to compare it with the most technologically powerful country in the world, which has dominated the world for 100 years. Regardless of the outcome, this in itself is a huge success for China.

    What are the best additions to a $600k portfolio to boost performance?. ETH is Up and will do better, I believe indicators, for profits will continue to improve, investors like me believe that "Santa has come early" to the markets...

    Remember how Toyota, Honda and Nissan were laughed at in the 1970s and 1980s and accused of all kinds of things. Remember how Hyundai, Samsung, Kia went through the same in the 1980s and 1990s.

    If China can build a space station, its version of GPS, Beidou, the largest HSR and highway networks SINGLE-HANDEDLY, in such a short frame of time, the rest wouldn't be that hard, it's just a matter of time. So, if the U.S. wants to be the modern-day Tanya Harding, it's bound to fail. The writing is already on the wall.

    Fun Fact : The first Boeing mass produced aircraft Model C, was designed by a Chinese aeronautical engineer named Wong Tzu (Wang Zhu). "The 1st... and the Best”, he helped put the company on a sound footing. In 1916-17, he led the fledgling airplane manufacturer's first military plane, first airmail plane and eventually designing Boeing’s first successful passenger plane, the Boeing Model C. The Model C was not only Boeing’s first production order, it was the first Boeing aircraft to be produced in large numbers and sold. Wang Zhu later returned to his motherland to help China in aircraft manufacturings.
  • Some of the best looking cars on Dubai roads are Chinese EVs. I'm a happy Toyota owner. But when it's time to upgrade, I will most definitely be looking at BYD or NIO
  • @brian.z6592
    In China, Tesla Model 3/Y are not consider as "luxury car", as their price range is targeted at regular middle-class families. Local Chinese brands like Nio, HiPhi and Li are the more accepted luxury EV brands in the Chinese market, with higher price range and better service than Model 3/Y.
  • @fuhaiou301
    Now is only 2 months after this video posted, Huawei relesed several flagship smartphone with advanced 7 nanometer chip with 5G capability made by Chinese supply chain, looking back the comments by all these experts on the show are laughable, it won't be surprise that these choking points like DUV / EUV tauted by the experts will not be an issue for China in 3 to 5 years, by that time there will be two systems for advanced chip making in this world, these experts need worry about whether they can get rare earth industry independent from China before China get their chip making equipment independent from the chip alliance lead y US, without raw material, EUV can not make any chips
  • @ezezcompany
    Putting the competition aside, it seems to me that in today’s world only the US and China are currently making comprehensive technological advances and economic development at the national level.
  • @rizwandar1
    It's all about a matter of time. The important point is that there is a centralized political will to guide these important national decisions. And give or take 5-10 years these technologies can be advanced and made viable over time.
  • @umu-i-d2785
    The situation between the US and China remind me of the tale of the tortoise and the hare. While the hare kept trying to sabotage the progress of the tortoise, the tortoise kept it's head down and kept on moving ahead slowly. And won! The US has the potential to remain a great power. But it is destroying itself through bad management and military ambitions. Wishing both countries wisdom and good luck.
  • @simony276
    China would be progressing rapidly. Time will tell. Pushing them so harsh in the last five years just like an awaken call to the whole nation to take even more drastic approaches to progress even much more quickly.
  • @chowtaifook6531
    I moved out to China five years ago. Over the past two or three years, I've been massively impressed by the EVs coming out from domestic manufacturers like NIO, XPENG, etc. They're futuristic and are miles ahead in terms of performance and technology (as well as looks) compared with the likes of Tesla. China's major cities have had autonomous robot deliveries for years, and also a few months ago here in Shenzhen, they started drone deliveries of packages (not to homes but to pick up stations on the street). China is literally living in the future.

    This is a great overview, hope WSJ updates it annually
