PS. Also they are increasingly using FDI to get rid of their excess dollars/euros. Something the US/EU should not allow. The carmakers are correct in this, they are only going to build low on the value chain assembly plants. All the high value stuff will stay in China, the US/EU are just collaborating with an enemy by allowing Chinese investment.

China keeps wages artificially low through currency manipulation (first just accumulating dollar bonds at the central bank, then hiding them at private banks, now more diversivied dollar assets and increasingly Euro assets as the US turns the screws).

A trade surplus can't be maintained by just having better shit for any significant amount of time, only by buying up foreign financial assets instead of goods. Otherwise their currency will just depreciate, preventing them from having enough money to run a trade deficit.

Anthropomorphize anyone?  Sorry Charlie; *.ai does not learn. It copies, introduces noise, cross-correlates and finally distributes.  Distributes what? Other peoples IP ! When humans learn ( I presume you have learned something ) they introduce not noise, but awareness/consciousness ... those Godels Theorem thingys.  Aharanov/Bohm  created their own magnetic vector potential not Heavisides.

With not voting, you are forfeiting your right to influence the outcome. Therefore, whatever the outcome, you blindly have agreed to it. You can try to be rabulistic about it, but there is no difference in the outcome if you are not voting because you were lazy, indifferent or enthusiastic about it. All three non-votes count exactly the same: zero.
