He should get his own house ready. Stop abusing employees and managing like a tyrant, and start paying market wages.

Looks alright but BYD is better and owns the market.

BYD is #1 in quality as well. Leapfrog here is a term used to describe a fact. Chinese companies have leapfrogged ICE manufacturers in EV.

China will pass the US as the largest market within five years so what I'm saying is certain to happen. Sure, as a regular boring American 9-5er you won't need it but if you want something more from life you better learn a languag

50 years from now, Mandarin will be much more useful than Arabic or French, because it will be the largest market in the world. If you deal with China professionally, knowing Mandarin will be an advantage.

Why?

This is just a bunch of random points added together. You have the confidence of someone fully ignorant of the subject matter. The equation is relatively simple. Out of everyone that visits your online store, a small % will make a purchase.

Wrong. Stores need traffic, which is why they locate on shopping streets, in large malls, offer large discounts at times and use loss leader products, and buy advertising. Discords user base is traffic.

I'd be more bearish on the stores of Origin, Epic, Ubisoft. Building a user base has to be done bottom up. Companies in general cannot do that because their approach is a forced top down one, pushed by marketing and sales. I think it&#

It's controversial because Google made such a big deal of not running a search engine in China, and built their corporate brand on top of that conviction.

You don't really explain why. The why is that before MCA, the studios directly employed actors, directors, writers. They were vertically integrated and held all the power. After MCA and CAA, the talent broke out and negotiated with stu

You should be interested in reality rather than projections. Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, Huawei, etc. are corporate entities separate from the Chinese government.

The author runs a forum and magazine dedicated to "fashion goth" designers like Rick Owens. He's a bit too close to the subject because his essay lacks distance and the analysis you provided. And like you say, this isn't

The hyperloop won't do anything because it will never exist. The distance between Tokyo and Narita Airport is the same regardless of mode of transportation.

What you call normalization is submission to US values and power. No nation wants to do that. The difference is that China is powerful enough to go their own way. As long as you call it normalization you will remain unhappy.

No it's not. The user communicates with Uber. The driver communicates with Uber. Uber matches the two. Uber charges the user for the fare. There is not even a little bit of peer to peer activity going on.
