While MAGA is stuck in fossil fuels.
We are experiencing the same thing that happened in 2006.
Bush promoted gas guzzlers and when price of gas shot up, they dumped them and gas guzzlers were left in dealerships and factories. This led to the collapse of GM.
When BYD hits the mkt with the 20k car, GM will disappear forever.

Never in a million years. GM, as long as it continues producing American legends like Escalades, Denalis, Suburbans, and Wagoneers, Expeditions, and Navigators, and the big American cars, China will always be behind. The quality of American cars is unparalleled, especially the new cars. Comfort and big-ass nice cars! China, Japan, and the rest make small, tiny cars that most Americans don't appreciate that is why the big three US automakers will be here for a while. I have owned a Tesla, and it is one painful thing to own, especially if you like traveling. EV will take you almost 2 weeks to go east to west in the US. Until they make EV that can go 2000 miles before charging, or 1 minute to charge like putting gas, then it will be something to consider and brag about, but now, it is still a mess.

[Nowayhaha]

You seem not to get it . its all about political economy . How much money the country gets in vis a vis out .
If the wars end and dollar dominance ends you will see a rise on a new empire . Ask your self why Japan went from being the second biggest economy to the 8th . Geopolical ecomonics , South Korea KIA in a few years time will overtake Toyota as the most imported car .

Byd is a game changer. 10k for electric car. I mean you can charge a brand new car on a credit card! In 5 -7 yrs African roads will be full of Chinese car like Boda bodas. Time to say goodbye to Toyota

Only Tesla can compete with China. Here Tesla will take over due to 100% anti-China sanctions. In Europe Tesla will maybe get a 10% slice - BYD, Xpeng, Xiaomi, etc take rest of the imports. Actually EU needs stiffer tariffs to save VW, BMW local brands - that 38% is not enough. Global South of course everything goes to China. Only a few waheshimiwa will drive Tesla or Escalade or VX.

We are now competing in space after chip sanction strategy was crashed. Only AI needs 2nm chips.

Realistically the US has no way to beat China without a preemptive war. What will happen is one day PBOC will let loose the yuan to proper market value -- and the US will be overtaken overnight in nominal terms. We are only bigger now artificially.

You seem not to get it . its all about political economy . How much money the country gets in vis a vis out .

One of the objectives of Ukraine war was to make Europe a Satellite country to U.S. and deter China . It backfired seriously . Euro project is over . Its only surviving because of printing of Euros . Germany technically is under recession and France has lost Africa it Income earner .
Britain better even not speak about it .Those were the Big 3 .
Tesla will survive because its build on subsidies but wont be able to compete outside US because of Cost of production and maintenance .US is subsidizing it for its citizens they cant manage to subsidize it for the world its just not tenable .
As for China and Taiwan the war is coming its a strategic showstop in order for US to maintain its dominance . However just like Ukraine war which has made Russia much more stronger China will come out of it much more stronger expect Russia to play a significant role.
In 40 years time we will have a new empire . In terms of technology China is years ahead of Europe and US . They are getting very cheap energy from Russia to advance its Economy similar to Germany 60 years ago .US is to blame for this softpower is the only way to dominate the world . They did it well in 60s, 70s 80s through so called democracy and dollar dominance . Ukraine war ad hardpower was a strategic blunder and unfortunately they seem not to have learnt quickly about it , now they are on downward trend . BRICS is bigger than G7 and growing , countrys are now trading in their own currencies , dollar as the reserve is being replaced with Gold . Countries are disobeying US foreign policy and China and India are on the rise . Can Trump change this we will see , but state department seem to be resilient with hardpower . History tells us thats a downward trend ……

China rise is unstoppable; US can buy another decade or two max; before they give up; and accept China as the big boss

Pundit in as much as I think until lately you understood politics I must say your weakness is that you are not objective.
Geopolitics plays a big role in everything we do .
Example is if it wasnt for the Ukraine war Ruto would be having a slight chance of returning in 2027 .
Bidens miscalculation has made Europe topple all its leaders and popular parties.Macron is not sitting preety , Scholz is on his way out . Biden/Kamala lost because of inflation as a result of Ukraine war .
You seem good in Kenyan history and you have stated before why British colonies got independence post world war 2 was simply because Britain was weaker after the war and USSR and US were stronger and advocated for independence including Kenya  meaning its due to Geopolitics . Similarly Moi became weaker in 90s due to Geopolitics . USSR had dissolved and US became a monopoly through USAID and Embassy they mounted alot of pressure to Moi from denying Aid and advocating tor Multi Party politcs.
Geopolitics is the reason why Ruto made mistakes in his first year . Capital flight and high cost of Oil and his overtaxation in order to run government and pay debt and removal of fuel subsidies made him unpopular  .
Look at why US second most powerful person is their Foreign Minister called Secretary of State .
Geopolitics runs the world not untill you understand this you will never be able to understand internal politics . And yes China is on the Rise with the help of Russia if US wants to maintain its dominance it must stop the two collaborating . It managed to stop Germany and Russia through Ukraine war will it stop Russia and China a small miscalculation by samctioning China will only make China stronger they will go all out in the world . You know that but self deception makes you deny this fact

Russia is now china vassal state. If china stop buying it's minerals n with Western sanctions it dies. China inevitable rise has little to do with Russia . China rose when it abandoned USSR nonsense n embraced the west. The west have top dollar. Russian is 3rd world that still import used cars like Kenya n depends on natural resources. They had military edge until they attacked Ukraine

[Nowayhaha]

Because  of importing cheap gas and cheap oil ? You see where Ruto went wrong ? Same decision you are agitating . In trade you are never vassal state reason why business men say you can do business with the devil it demands so ….
Its about interests China is getting cheap energy and using that as competitive advantage trading with U.S. if they stop that they would go Japan way …..
Military wise in the modern world only nuvlear weapons can win a war , US lost in Iraq and Afghanistan do you know what is winning a war ? You have to get the objectives you set . Russia through Trump is about to achieve that .And with that they have come out stronger economically and Military wise . They found alternative countries to trade with , their military industry produces 3 times what US and Europe produce a matter of time once war ends and they start selling the equipments and weapons around the world  .

Vassal state BS when Germany industries were being powered by Russian gas and oil Russia was not their Vassal state . Pundit this year educate yourself in Geopolitics you have the capabilty and Capacity . Ribena in this sphere anakupiga 10 Nil ….

1.4 million Chinese trekked all the way from China to cross the US-Mexico border in the last 3 years, and China is rising? In 10–25 years, I'm betting the State of California will overtake Japan and Germany to be the 3rd largest economy in the world. Another 5 or so may overtake China to be the second largest economy in the world. Texas and New York are not far behind. The University of Berkley predicts US, California, and China, Texas and New York, Japan, Germany in that order as the top largest Economies in 40 years!

[Nowayhaha]

California economy is driven by Movie making and Financial institutes . Apple is also on top there .
RVHH lives in his own world .Why he is picking California is to sensationalize the topic akin to saying Nairobi is key income earner of Kenya .Everybody know Its the Capital center of Kenya ……
Everybody knows Germanys economy is in recession because of Ukrainian war . Stupid sanctions and bye bye to cheap gas has led to this…

California’s economy has grown relatively slowly in recent years, averaging 2.3% per year between 2020 and 2023, compared to 3.9% on average over the previous four years. By comparison, Florida (4.6%) and Texas (3.9%) grew faster than California since 2020.

Nowayaha, having nuclear is supposed to be deterrent, because you can't use it except as threat. Unfortunately Ukrainian are not people to be threatened n have called Russian bluff n they are fighting in attrition war the west will finance for long at expenses of Russia. Germany economy is one very solid economy build by German hardwork, saving culture n igneuinty. It cannot go down. It's just being transformed from industry that china is eating into advanced Nation that will focus on vertical markets. Back to China..they are doing excellent in many fronts n avoiding conflict like Ruto did to uhuru until they are ready. The US is not going down easily n we will have two big economies for two decades until china break free n run the world. China are annually checking boxes...in their inevitable rise.. because of 2000yrs...China has led the world in 1800yrs..the west are 200yrs only at the lead ..so back to default

Yes it is a dog-fight. US use of stiff 100% tariffs and chip blockade is fear of bareknuckle competition from China. I think losing top spot will expose us badly - presently artificially cheap capital has given US companies unfair advantage.

Germany has solid game and mere loss of Russian energy cannot erase that. Without mighty dollar US will likely even be beaten by Germany and Japan.

RVHH as usual is delusional.
