Norway drove their Yutong busses into a mine to check for electromagnetic emissions.
They discovered their 800 Yutong busses are monitored by help of a Romanian Sim card and can even open and close doors from China.

A China fan in the commentaries tried to relativate again like they did for the last 25 years with whataboutism (USA bad) and then citing even EU rules. He made the effort to post under nearly every negative comment towards this China spying act. Wonder what interests and time those people have to make such efforts of "opinion forming and correcting".

Anyway the thing is Western manufacturers are telling you about remote access and let you sign a disclaimer and they also only passively collect data and don't use a hidden sim card for that.

The private sector gets completely ignored by the party. They don't even try anymore to keep a semblance of normal economic behaviour.

BYD rents spaces in Australia to store more vehicles imported than sold.

All what I am saying all along in one article..

Reasons to be bearish about China’s rise

Yes, its economic engine is remarkable, but there are factors that should temper predictions of global hegemony

www.ft.com

That's why their only chance is the propaganda game and when on "top" eventually silence everyone through oppression because that's how they roll. Wouldn't be them CCP if they would be thinking otherwise or had some humane aspect to their ideology.

China's COMAC falls behind on C919 aircraft delivery targets, filings show

Chinese planemaker COMAC is falling behind on previously stated delivery targets for the production of its narrow-body C919 commercial plane, according to regulatory filings from the three airlines that fly the model.

www.reuters.com

Allegedly due to temporary engine ban. But that doesn't explain it.

At this rate they will take forever to deliver their orders.

China’s economy falters amid investment slump - Taipei Times

Bringing Taiwan to the World and the World to Taiwan

www.taipeitimes.com

The numbers don't add surprise. The party stole the Chinese peoples money and only rewards party members with the resulting perks.

How should a market develop not withstanding the fact they ard ever moving to a harder authoritarian grip. The West was utterly naïve to believe this story nurtured by naïve scholars wanting to believe and ignore the essential nature of one party ruled dictatorships.

Even BASF cut back it's 10 bill. investment by 1.5 billion €s.

There will never be a consumer market there never ever...all inventions geared towards that will bring losses or are doing it already. Everything is controlled every opinion every thought every fact is denied and contested if not to the liking.

Oh EU companies are now worried that the US China deal makes EU companies have setbacks in China.

How about you try the same and everything they do shenanigans a little bit of market access vanishes.

Trump showed that China is extremely dependent on Western markets.

The EU is like the kid without self esteem getting bullied by someone ranging under them in possibilities and options.

Foreign investors return to China’s stock market

DeepSeek AI breakthrough spurs biggest overseas inflows in four years

Allegedly 40 bill. extra poured into China stocks. Hazardeurs probably.



One mentions it's overseas Chinese money used by the CCP financial schemes returning.

There is a whole article about CCP financial schemes on a German newspaper but I don't have access.

Best comment: China stock market is like a casino and the CCP is the house.

German managers will feel it eventually at latest when China invades Taiwan.

Then quick lamenting and grabbing tax money for lost business.

I'm sorry they are just disgusting with their China fandom in which they stuffed themselves up to their a**e in full naïvity
