What EU wants is irrelevant though

I’ll relay this to Xi Jinping immediately he’ll be glad to know of your approval

How do the SaaS AI code assistants work? I am guessing they have to send the entire file or the codebase to their datacenter. Won’t this be a problem for corporations who want to protect their codebase?

we maintain the same goal – to build digital advertising solutions that respect individuals’ rights

Does it include the right to be able to choose not to be advertised to?

Yes, advertising enables free access to most of what the internet provides

What does this even mean?

I don’t read their blog posts but seems like they have fully embraced startup lingo.

They have always equated sovereignty with instability

In UNGA resolutions China always votes against Israel in favour of Palestine. Voting records are publicly available here: https://digitallibrary.un.org/search?ln=en&cc=Voting+Data

It said something else before the edit but it’s all good now.

How does one be a populist while not pandering to the public.

I would say that is largely irrelevant. Chinese EVs are so much cheaper there is no way Western producers can compete with them barring tariffs. In a level playing field Chinese companies will completely push out the Western ones in low- and mid-range market. For luxury vehicles maybe the brand recognition can save them but in a tight economy cheaper cars will attract a lot of attention.

as well as their own operations in China

This is the reason. It is not because of their interest in fairness or free market (there is none), but because China is both critical to their production process and a massive market that cannot be ignored. If China retaliates their execs won’t be able to buy their tenth yacht.

Yeah. Progressive bracketing of income tax is only one aspect of the whole thing. It gets a lot of attention but once you take into account taxes on everything else, which also includes the most basic groceries for some reason, the non-wealthy end up getting taxed more proportionally to their income.

That is the policy around taxation for everything. The “middle class” always froths with rage everytime the budget is announced over this. Ever since GST has been introduced it has gotten worse as well, with more of the taxes going to the central government. The economic policies here are pretty preposterous.

“This is very bad!” scream analysts from ING, a real estate research institute and Goldman Sachs.

In late July, China’s top decision-making body, the Politburo, reiterated the country’s commitment to supporting the completion of unfinished projects and turning unsold apartments into affordable housing.

They don’t want to fix these problems.

Yup. Just this morning I was brushing my teeth and he seized my toothbrush.

Inshallah
