This is an interesting difference between China and Europe, restaurant-wise. Nowadays, only the most upscale restaurants in Europe (Michelin-starred or the like) tend to offer a farm-to-table experience with their own personal veggie/fruit garden. And even then, it's really rare. To have this type of experience, you often need...

🇺🇦🇷🇺 "CHINA GAINS EVERYTHING FROM THE WAR DRAGGING ON IN UKRAINE" Alexander Rahr is of the view that China is nothing but incentivized to act in furtherance of an agenda to undermine all attempts to achieve peace in Ukraine. With the AI race, ambitions in Taiwan, and the rare earth mineral leverage being in play, China will likely position itself to vastly expand its empire at the expense of continued war in Europe. "China doesn't want Russia to win 100%, but China has these instruments. We are panicking when China only says that you have to wait until the next ship with resources reaches your countries. we are so dependent on China that we have to understand this. China has a lot of cards in its hand to play in this kind of war." Journalist and political scientist, Eurasien Gesellschaft

Jacob Helberg says one of Europe’s biggest challenges to building companies is cultural: they’re just not risk-takers like Americans are. "It's really hard for Europe to put those pieces together because the culture in Europe has not been favorable to encouraging risk-taking, which is necessary—it's the lifeblood of starting a business." "You need to have a risk-taking culture—and then they have the unit economics problem where it's just really expensive to build stuff in Europe because your energy bills are really high. You have to spend a ton of money on legal fees before you even start." "It's not that starting things in Europe will be impossible, but they have major headwinds." "We have invested a lot of effort into having truthful, candid conversations with our friends in Europe to actually share our concerns." "When you actually care about someone, you can actually be candid with them. Clear is kind." "We care about Europe. We want them to be strong, and so we are trying to draw their attention to policy issues that we think are serious headwinds for them." Jacob Helberg with Erik Torenberg

Apple is investing 2x more money in China than the United States invested in saving all of Europe after WW2 (PER YEAR) “Apple investing $55 billion PER YEAR in China” “3 million people are assembling iPhones and other Mac products in China” “Apple is investing quadruple what the Commerce Secretary called a once in a generation investment in America.” “I figured out that Apple was investing by 2015, $55 billion a year into China. So $55 billion is a year.” “I take the Marshall plan spending from 1948 to 1952. This is sort of like America saving, saving Europe after the World War II, and you convert it to 2015 money, and it's half the annual spending of what Apple's investing in China. This is $130 billion in 16 countries. 16 countries versus 1 country. — It's like the modern equivalent of the Soviet Union, like it's our biggest adversary.”

"If you own the top of the gravity well, you have a dominant position... It costs $12 billion to do one aircraft carrier. For the same cost, you can have 150,000 missiles equivalent in space." Joe Lonsdale with Maria Bartiromo at the Reagan National Economic Forum on the space race and state of national security: "Thanks in large part to Elon Musk, [space] is one area where we have supremacy. We are by far the best in the world at doing things in space, and space is critical for national defense, let's take advantage of that... When you read all the old science fiction from the 1950s and 60s, these people thought about this ahead of time. If you own the top of the gravity well, you have a dominant position, and it's now very inexpensive to put a lot of stuff up there. It costs $12 billion to do one aircraft carrier. For the same cost, you can have 150,000 missiles equivalent in space. This is a really powerful thing to have. It also allows you to stop them from shooting at our country if you use it correctly... [The Golden Dome] was the dream in the 80s. When Reagan pushed on [missile defense] it really ended up damaging the Soviet Union because they realized they couldn't keep up. This is exactly the same situation here; China cannot keep up with us. We have to push hard though... We have to learn how to build things again here in America... China for example can build 200X the amount of ships per year. That's a crisis. We're building companies like Saronic to rebuild our national manufacturing base, [building] thousands and then tens of thousands to get ahead of China. We're building companies like CHAOS Industries that can detect with new technology any drones hundreds of miles away, so you can protect our border, you can protect our Army bases. And we have technologies like Epirus to shoot down drones and protect our satellites. We have all sorts of these things that we're putting together with the best and brightest to stay ahead of China.

China ‘Rent-a-Womb Industry EXPOSED: Motels full of pregnant woman discovered in California “Chinese couples are hiring American surrogates and having them give birth to their kids in America. Then the Chinese couple comes over after the birth and takes the kid back to China with a U.S. passport” “it's happened tens of thousands of times across the United States” “While we were in California, we learned about this new rent-a-womb scheme, which is almost more alarming because it is not illegal. It's a loophole. This is actually one of the motels (see video) that we went into where some of the pregnant women stay. Basically with the rent-a-wombs, you've got these parents in China who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, it's happening thousands of times They pay a woman in America, they have thr sperm and the egg from China inside of them. They use the American womb. The American woman gives birth to the Chinese baby and then the baby gets the U.S. passport but immediately goes back to China with no allegiance whatsoever to America but is an American citizen.”

André Ventura: The Rising Star of Portuguese Politics Slams Open Borders, Islamic Immigration, and the Globalists' Great Replacement Scheme... "If we don't stop this madness of Islamic immigration to Europe, what happened in Israel could happen in any European capital in the coming years. Because what happened in Israel could have happened in most of our capitals in Europe. What happened in Israel and this attack from Hamas could have happened in Lisbon, in Madrid, in Paris, in Rome, in Vienna, in Berlin, in most of the capitals. And why? Because we allowed all these people to come into our territory. Because we said to them, you can come. You don't have to pay anything. You don't have to pay taxes. You don't have to fulfill your responsibilities. You don't have to fulfill the law. You don't have to fulfill the Constitution. You just can come. And then we will take care of you. And we thought we were being humanitarians. But look what happened now. Look what happened now. One country, a democratic country, is attacked by a terrorist force. And we are not protesting against the terrorism. We are protesting against those who were attacked by terrorist forces. That should make us think about what we have in Europe nowadays. In most of our capitals, most of our capitals. We go into the streets, in the city centers. And we must see people [Muslims] from Bangladesh, from Afghanistan, from Pakistan, from India, from Saudi Arabia, from everywhere. We have to stop this because if we don't stop this, one day, they will stop us from being who we are." Read:

Can we get our act together to sit at that table on equal terms?"

You need an economy that's strong enough; in the technology sector. That's going to be a big determinant in the future" "You're going to have military capability" "And political cohesion to carry the positions you want" "If we want to be powerful enough, in an era where otherwise these powers are going to dominate" "If you don't carry something to the table, the giants tend to sit on everyone else, which is what giants do" "So if you don't want them to sit on you, you have to be big enough so that they can't" #RejoinEU

Rare earth metals are not rare. The issue is the smelters and refineries to make the finished rare earth metals from the raw ore. It has been impossible for over 40 years to build these types of industries in Europe, the USA or anywhere except China. So China built them and now it doesn’t matter where the ore is, 90% of the refineries and smelters are in China so the raw ore has to go to China. So China controls the finished rare earth metals. The west over regulated and gave away a strategic industry.

🚨NEW: Peter Thiel with Joe Lonsdale on tariffs, trade policy, and China. "You need a very drastic reset with China. In theory, you need to reset with other people, but what we really need to get them to do is also reset things with China." Full episode drops next week! JOE: We've been talking about China on and off for over 20 years, and their imbalances. This week the President declared trade war on them, effectively, with 125% tariffs as of now; it'll probably change in the next few days. What do you think of the trade and tariff policy? What's gonna happen? Bond yields sold off more than I expected. The yields went higher than I expected so far. What's going on? PETER: I'm hesitant to comment since obviously it's a very, very fluid situation, but something like the sort of reset that they're talking about now seems where we're going, where you need a very drastic reset with China. In theory you need to reset with other people, but what we really need to get them to do is also reset things with China. I think the rough numbers are that about a quarter of the US trade deficit is bilaterally with China, but another quarter is indirectly with China. So China is sort of half the problem... And then China is the geopolitical rival. So there's a way in which people in Mercedes in Germany are selling cars to the US. We might want to have those pretty well paying jobs in the US and, and not in Germany. And there are all kinds of sort of mercantilist policies that at the margins Germany engages in. But, you know, it's probably not gonna repurpose the Mercedes factory to build tanks to invade the US or something like this. Whereas this sort of dual use problem is the problem with China. ...There are ways the economic relationship with China is fairly efficient.... if people are working for a dollar and a half an hour in a Foxconn factory, we don't really want to get those jobs in Wisconsin. But it is this geopolitical rivalry where... you have to somehow factor in that the economists never are able to factor in properly with China. I'm not sure I would call this the optimistic plan, but the reset in trade that seems desirable to me would be that we radically changed the relationship with China and we sort of induce a lot of other countries to radically change their relationship with China. And that's how we, you know, maybe that's how we build a stronger western alliance of the free world. JOE: Well there's going to be some interesting negotiations in the next few months. Did you think that we could bring, maybe using AI, some more advanced manufacturing here that was in China? Is that a real thing the next decade to do a bunch more here, thanks to our more efficiencies and productivity? PETER: There's probably always a decent amount of things like that. You have to always be extremely granular on how expensive the robots are, how expensive the equipment is, because in some sense, manufacturing has been getting steadily more automated for 250 years. And you've had the machines that make the machines. The machines that make the machines are getting sort of smarter and more complicated. And there are ways in which AI is a quantum leap. There's a way in which it's just, you know, a natural continuation of this, you know, two century long process. I think there are some parts that can be moved to the US with AI. Maybe also if you change some of the environmental rules and some of the other anti-industrial policies we have in the US. But then if parts of this are moved to other emerging market countries. Vietnam is a communist country. It has bad mercantilist policies, but it's not planning to take over the world. And so at the margins, if we can move things from China to Vietnam, that's a big win.

🇫🇷 Marine Le Pen: "we want to leave this Europe because it is not Europe. But, friends, Europe is not the European Union! Europe is us and it is time to put our house in order. Take power in France and Europe and give it back to the people! Our Europe is fraternal, alive, confident and in love with the future. We want to build not an anonymous European Union, but a union of European nations, a union of histories and destinies, respecting nations, cultures and identities in its own thousand-year history. Europe drew its strength not from a bureaucratic factory, but from the genius and energy of each of these nations and the uniqueness of these countries. Europe was strong only because these nations were free, Europe was great only because these nations were enterprising, Europe shone only because these nations moved forward. Today, when the whole world, the United States, China, Russia and the BRICS are questioning the power of Europe, Europe can only regain its place by the return of the nations that make it up."

This is definitely one of the more interesting restaurant experiences I've had in China! It's a place called "Hong Men Yu Yan" (literally "red door royal banquet") in Harbin, Heilongjiang province. And the concept is that you basically fully step back in imperial China, including guests who need to arrive 1hr in advance to dress up (I chose to be a Ming dynasty scholar, why not? 😋). The service is extraordinary, truly Chinese imperial style with a 17-course meal that includes some of the most delicate classics of Chinese cuisine (like "Buddha jumps over the wall"). Another very unique aspect of the experience is we guests were made actors in a "play" before the meal, where we had to play games and interact with the actual actors to solve some "mysteries" so we could earn ancient Chinese money that we could exchange for presents. Honestly really cool experience. If you're ever in Harbin you need to try this!

This is quite funny: at the bottom of the ski slopes in China you have SF Express booths (the most famous courier in China). Why? When they travel to ski here people send their ski equipment separately, and find them back at the bottom of the slopes. And when they're done skiing they send their equipment back home from the bottom of the slopes! One of the advantages of having an ultra-reliable and efficient delivery infrastructure is that you can do stuff like this.

That safetyism is what Europe does. If you want to be a poor civilization...then you should move to Europe. But America needs to stay free." Joe Lonsdale: This has been an issue we're working on all year, obviously close friends with David Sacks and Director Michael Kratsios running this in the administration. And listen, we are on the verge of something amazing for our civilization. We have tens of thousands of builders in our country. They're going to bring down the cost of health care. They're going to make houses cheaper. Permits should only take hours instead of months. Just like education is going to be better for all of our kids and personalized. They're going to fix our civilization. And yet on both the far left and the far right, you have a lot of populists who for, for really nefarious reasons, are opposing this. There are reasonable people, by the way, who have some concerns, and there's ways to compromise... But you have a lot of crazy populists. You have a patchwork of just really intense stuff they're doing that would break all of this, and we can't let that happen. Andrew Ross Sorkin: And to you, the thing that you can't break is this idea of states taking this into their own hands? Joe: I'm a federalist, Andrew, on most issues. I have teams in 23 states with Cicero Institute... I think it's reasonable for states to do a lot of things as laboratories of democracy... What's unreasonable is you had Biden NGOs, but pushed by the last administration. You have European-like rules, and you have populists trying to put in crazy new regulatory authorities that demonize the builders to demonize the tech. And if you force us to hop through regulatory agencies in every state, China is going to win and the builders are going to lose. ...there's always an argument in our country between safety and liberty. And I think people, especially if they're not in the details, are right to be concerned and want to be safe. But if you're going to use safety to have arbitrary fines or arbitrary penalties where every state, including the radical blue states like New York, are going to be able to break our builders, that's not okay. And listen, you have states trying to ban the use of AI in health care right now in ways that are going to prevent us from making health care cheaper. You have New York State already banning it in education. This is insane. Public schools in New York are not allowing AI. They're not even in any kind of school in New York. You have to call yourself a homeschool to use AI right now in New York, which means we can't personalize it and lift up the lives of the kids who are not doing well in inner cities. This is crazy stuff, Andrew. That safetyism is what Europe does. If you want to be a poor civilization...then you should move to Europe. But America needs to stay free. ...a random legislator in New York state is not going to stop at the AI apocalypse. They're only going to harass and slow us down and make us lose to China.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Sec. Marco Rubio just RIPPED spoiled NATO allies, saying the US will have to reexamine our membership once the war is over NATO screwed up! "We are going to have to reexamine whether or not this alliance that has served this country well for a while is still serving that purpose — or is it now become a ONE WAY STREET, where America is simply in a position to defend EUROPE, but when we need the help of our allies, they're going to deny us basing rights and they're going to deny us overflight?!" "If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can't use those bases, that, in fact, that we can no longer use those bases to defend America's interests, then NATO is a one-way street!" "Then NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need their help—not their help, we're not asking them to conduct airstrikes. When we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no, then why are we in NATO? You have to ask that question!" "Why do we have billions and billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars over the years, trillions of dollars, and all these American forces stationed in the region?" "If we can only use—we can—in our time of need, we're not going to be allowed to use those bases. So I think there's no doubt, unfortunately, after this conflict is concluded, we are going to have to reexamine that relationship." "We're going to have to reexamine the value of NATO and that alliance for our country." "Ultimately, that's a decision for the president to make, and he'll have to make it."

This is really cool. You may think that giant pandas are the most protected animals in China but there is even rarer: this specific type of salamander 👇 that lives only in a few river streams on the border between China and Kazakhstan. It's called the Xinjiang Northern Salamander, and it's a 350 million years old species that was only discovered in 1989. They're so precious that their natural habitat has been completely sealed off: it's called the "Wenquan County National Nature Reserve" and no-one is authorized to enter. You can however see some of them in a local research center on the species - where we now are - in Wenquan (温泉) town.

This is the first stage. We are now in a situation where it's 10 and 10 plus 20 for fentanyl, so 30% tariffs in the US of China goods coming in, and they can get rid of 20% of it if they solve the fentanyl problem. That they will do with certainty. But we’re not finished there and neither are millions of small entrepreneurs in America that I represent. We need IP law to be finally put into place so that our products and services are protected in their markets the way we protect theirs and ours. So, reciprocal playing field is where we need to go. This is a great first step but it's only the beginning. I want to sell to the Chinese people. I have no problem with them. I have a big problem with their government. They don't abide by the rules. We've known that for a long time and no admin has dealt with China, even after they came into the World Trade Organization in 2000. They've breached every covenant of that agreement so it's important for us to set the tone in terms of how we're going to go forward with China.
