#chinese EVs

It seems like we get news of BYD entering a new market around the world every week now, so it’s hard to keep up! However, it’s great for the overall mission to accelerate adoption of electric vehicles around the world. Just the other week, BYD officially entered the Zambian market in collaboration with Pilatus and launched several models there. There is more good news from BYD on the African continent, as BYD has officially launched three models in Kenya!

P.S. Good news! The hopes of big oil companies to use emerging countries as a place to continue their dirty business are being successfully dashed. Demand for oil will slow down in developing countries as well. The second novelty, the customs tariffs and barriers introduced by the USA and Europe will not be able to slow down the spread of affordable electric car technology in the world. Populist politicians forget that a fairly large car market also exists outside the US and Europe...

P.S. Good dictionary! Politically correct Westerners immediately forget about "free speech", "Western values" and "international laws" as soon as they are asked how it is consistent with the money of "big Western business" investing in the economy of communist China and Russia and the quarterly profits made there... !???

By the way, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett and Co. supports the communist Chinese economy investing huge resources and transferring technology to China...and makes a nice profit there.

Why shouldn't we in Eastern Europe buy electric cars made in China when America's own big business is funding China's economy and military...????

the wangxian + a-yuan "dads with an adopted son" thing is fine and enjoyable in fanfics honestly but I think we as a fandom are really not utilizing the idea of all of them in unconventional familial structures enough. Like, canonically it wasn't so much that wwx was a-yuan's guardian as that a-yuan was being raised collectively by the wens and wwx was adopted INTO the larger wen family. And lwj got attached to him through that. A-yuan just has these very attached weird uncles/older cousin figures that aren't related to him by blood at all but keep sticking around.

Just think of a modern AU with a lot less death where lwj does as he does in canon and keeps showering a-yuan in gifts as much as he can and when wwx is like "aiyah lan zhan you're gonna spoil him. Not everyone is as rich as you! What's his family supposed to say if they can't buy him all the stuff you do?" lwj just goes "Hm". And from then on out every year once a-yuan's birthday is near the extended Wen family members (well. the ones that are invited that is. No one wants wen chao at a birthday party) wakes up to a wechat payment from lwj.

Random wen cousin number 6 texts granny like

cousin 6: i just got 400 yuan????

granny: oh that's just wangji

cousin 6: i've never met this guy in my life???

granny: he wants you to buy a-yuan a nice birthday present!

cousin 6: how does he know my bank account???

I think he got the message wrong. The BYD Build Your Dreams, Chinese EV doesn’t correlate with nightmare designs. Well maybe that’s the point. USA,ers are too busy stabbing each other. Sometimes in the front, sometimes in the back, sometimes at the supermarket sometimes at the fuel pumps and sometimes in a dishonorable display of faux power. The real display is the sleeping giant getting all woked up…again. Who benefits from internal erosion? Only an External force. Thine Eyes to Behold.

P.S. Another small fact that shows that the customs tariffs introduced by the EU will not stop the expansion of Chinese EV manufacturers in the global car market...! New Zealand has no obligation to bail out lazy legacy automakers...like VW...! It's just realpolitik that the Germans love so much when it comes to their politicians' business dealings with the Kremlin...

Another day, another new EV from China!

This is the Leapmotor C10 selling in New Zealand for $55k ($32k USD) with a range of 420 km (261 miles).

I pick one up soon and will give it the usual puntastic treatment but wanna know if there's anything specific anyone wants to know?

Norway's car market is 94% EVs – and a quarter of them are Chinese

No other country comes close to Norway’s level of market penetration. Unlike the U.S. and EU, the Scandinavian country does not impose tariffs on Chinese cars – and they represent almost a quarter of the EV market. CGTN’s Johannes Pleschberger reports from Oslo

I have shown you the Reunion Dinner (团圆饭) we had two weeks earlier due to my brother having to go oversea for his company’s training trip. Behold, here is another of our reunion dinner, albeit the home-cooked version. You saw the char siu, roasted chicken and roasted pork mum bought for the prayer earlier in the day so naturally those appeared on the dinner table. As one of my brother and his family plus my sister’s friend will be coming over, mum added extra dishes to the menu. It is not as luscious as the feast we had at the restaurant but nonetheless, it is still a scrumptious and delectable meal.

A simple Cabbage Stir-Fry with premium ingredients of canned baby abalones and scallops. Sis-in-law was commenting on the cabbage being sweet tasting. Ended up this dish emptied of the food saved for a few pieces of the abalones.

Sis was saying mum sliced the Char Siu too thickly but I on the other hand found them just nice as it offered a better texture. Sweet, charred with a smoky taste and just fatty enough to make it a wonderful eat. The Roasted Chicken (deep-fried actually) was well seasoned and succulent to go with the steamed white rice.

These extra-large Steamed Tiger Prawns were bought in Batam and delivered to our house. As the prawns were fresh, mum just steamed it without any condiment. After deshelling, we added some minced ginger sauce before sending it straight into the mouth.

Another seafood that brother order for us from Batam is this large Red Snapper which is done in a spicy style. Mum only made used of the tail portion as the fish is too big to cook properly in the wok she is using. Fresh and sweet tasting with a little spiciness made this a good dish.

Mum also prepared one of her specialties, Braised Five-Spice Pork Belly with shiitake mushrooms and hardboiled eggs. For the soup, it is Pork Ribs Soup with fried pig tendons, fish balls, corn, lettuces and dried scallops to sweeten it.

The side dishes are Pickled Daikon and spicy Nyonya Achar which is a South Asian pickled food made from a variety of vegetables and fruits preserved in brine, vinegar, edible oils and various South Asian spices.

Even though I took a little of everything, I still ended up with a Full Plate. As I slowly tucked into my meal, are you also enjoying your reunion dinner?
