Fact-Checking Policy Correction policy हिन्दीChina's export juggernaut is thundering ahead but as the empires strike back, will the mainland's kings of involution, who have conquered the world with their cheap electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels, retail goods, clothing and more, come crashing down to earth? Or, is the world simply unable to live without them? China's exporters have disrupted world trade with their distinctive competitive ethos - to win at all costs - that's come to be known as involution in the mainland. But the stakes are getting higher, with the European Union and the US upping the ante in their trade war against China. Last month, European, Canadian and American business and trade officials got together in a huddle in Brussels to discuss ways to tackle "global non-market overcapacity." EU trade commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis told the forum that overcapacity was a major threat that needed to tackled "head on" with a unified response. To put it into perspective, the EU and US consider China as a non-market economy as it does not operate on the principles of supply and demand. The US slapped 100 percent tariffs on Chinese EVs in September, and Canada followed suit in October to the dismay of the Electric Vehicle Association of Alberta, which said that while the government is trying to encourage Canadians into EVs, it was closing doors to a "high-quality, low-cost option." Canada has also slapped a 25 percent tariff on Chinese aluminum and steel, US president-elect Donald Trump is threatening "an additional 10 percent tariff, above any additional tariffs" on all imports from China, which were worth US$427 billion (HK$3.3 trillion)last year, after previously touting a tariff in excess of 60 percent, and Turkey has a 40 percent tariff on Chinese EVs in place. But while the West frets and fumes about the existential threat to their own manufacturers, their consumers have been embracing cheap Chinese goods with great fervor, as data shows. ELECTRIC REVOLUTION Involution has become a catch-all term to describe price wars, unhealthy competition, overcapacity, deflation, the 996 culture of working from 9 am to 9 pm six days a week, fewer career prospects and even the grueling education system that burns out youngsters. China is well aware of that oversupply and price wars are fueling deflationary risks, and its leaders have repeatedly urged manufacturers and retailers to "avoid the vicious competition of involution." Perhaps no other industry epitomizes excessive involution in China better than green energy, with manufacturers of electric cars, solar panels and batteries producing more than what the market needs and selling excess stock overseas at dirt-cheap prices. Chinese EV makers are engaged in a bruising price war at home and 80 percent of the 118-odd brands are likely to fall by the wayside by the end of the decade, according to AlixPartners. Around 11 EV majors including SAIC, Chery, BYD (1211) and Great Wall Motor (2333), meanwhile, are battling for dominance in Europe by offering cars at much cheaper prices than local manufacturers. The average price of a European-made battery EV was around EUR47,000 (HK$385,000) in 2023 while the average cost of a feature-packed Chinese EV was a tad under EUR30,000. Chinese battery EV exports into the EU grew by nearly 1,700 percent between 2020 and 2023, with sales worth EUR11 billion last year, according to a report titled "The EU's drive on China: What EV tariffs mean for Europe," published by the Centre for European Reform, a think tank. One of the reasons behind the phenomenal success is that Europe's consumers are increasingly opting for Chinese EVs as they are "more affordable - yet technologically competitive," according to the report's author, CER associate fellow and economist Anton Spisak. The report also states that it remains to be seen whether the tariffs will impact prices or make Europe's EV sector competitive, and warns that EU consumers will be "left in the backseat." China's EV firms have also taken their price war to Thailand, where they dominate 80 percent of the market, with Great Wall Motor slashing prices by 18 percent in October and Changan retaliating with a whopping 20 percent cut in November. BYD already has a plant in Thailand and SAIC Motor, Great Wall Motor, Neta, Aion and Chery are all following suit. BYD, MG, Guangzhou Automobile (2238), Seres, Neta, and BYD's Denza have also opened shop in Hong Kong. Everbright Securities International securities strategist Kenny Ng Lai-yin is not too worried about US EV tariffs as China barely sells any electric cars in America. He worries more about the EU hiking EV tariffs by up to 47.6 percent, negotiations for which are still ongoing, but believes exporters will continue their overseas push amid China's economic slowdown. However, EVs made by some Chinese firms are expected to remain cost-competitive despite the higher taxes, thanks to their better control of the supply chain and technological innovation, says UBS Investment Bank's head of Internet research in China Kenneth Fong Kam-chung. Also, plants set up outside China would help avoid higher tariffs, such as those set up by BYD and Nio (9866) in Hungary. However, these investments are not without risks: last month, Leapmotor (9863) halted production of a second EV model with partner Stellantis in Poland after Beijing told automakers to halt investments in European states that backed the higher tariffs. CHARGING AHEAD China dominates the global battery market with the value of exports rising by 28 percent to US$65 billion in 2023 from a year earlier. The EU claims that Chinese EVs benefit from cheap subsidized batteries and France, Germany and Sweden are urging the new European Commission to nurture the battery sector and avoid being over reliant on China. Now, the higher tariffs could force Chinese battery firms to accelerate their expansion overseas, with battery giant CATL building a second European factory in Hungary. China also commands a 98 percent share of the EU solar panels market, with the EU importing EUR19.7 billion worth of photovoltaic panels from China in 2023. The EU and US accuse Beijing of subsidizing the industry and flooding the world with cheap solar exports, which were worth a record US$49 billion to China last year. In response, the US has doubled tariffs on solar panels to 50 percent while the EU is probing the alleged subsidies. The mainland's solar market, however, remains awash with overcapacity and cut-throat price wars have led to a wave of closures, with new solar projects diving by 75 percent in the first half of the year. CONSUMER CONQUESTS Chinese food, phone and fashion exporters are also flattening the competition overseas. After beating Foodpanda and Deliveroo in Hong Kong in 10 months flat, food delivery giant Meituan's (3690) Keeta has now entered Saudi Arabia and aims to expand into Bahrain, the UAE and Jordan. Luckin Coffee, which beat Starbucks in the mainland with 9.9 yuan (HK$10.5) coffee coupons, is opening three stores in Hong Kong while bubble tea giant Mixue Bingcheng selling desserts and beverages at prices ranging from HK$9 to HK$20 compared to market rates of HK$25 to HK$46. Mixue is now the largest beverage chain in Vietnam with 1,000 stores and has also swept through Indonesia and Laos. Among phone manufacturers, Oppo is boosting production as it set sights on South America. It was the top smartphone brand in Indonesia in July-September quarter with a 22 percent market share and the No 2 brand in India with a 13.9 percent share over the same period, data from Canalys and IDC reveal. Meanwhile, the EU is targeting Chinese online retailers like Temu and fashion giant Shein, who have won over European buyers en masse in the absence of taxes on low-cost imports, and wants to scrap all exemption for packages valued at below EUR150 from 2028. ADVANTAGE CHINA Hong Kong Baptist University associate professor Billy Mak Sui-choi believes Chinese exporters should focus more on markets without trade barriers. There are more than 150 nations outside of the EU and US, he points out, adding that feature-laden Chinese EVs hold the edge as they offer more bang for the buck. Morgan Stanley's chief China economist Robin Xing Ziqiang says overseas expansion can only ease part of the pressure on China's manufacturers, as markets such as South East Asia are not as large as mainland China's. Nevertheless, he believes Chinese enterprises will continue to expand overseas for survival. The Mercator Institute for China Studies last month released its Global China Competition Tracker, tracing the various measures taken by some of the world's 50 largest economies over China's exports. While many had curbs in place ranging from moderate to strict, it also showed, perhaps unsurprisingly, that developed nations like Australia and New Zealand and developing ones like Bangladesh and Tanzania were "doing little or nothing and instead embracing the cheap goods that China's overcapacities and subsidies bring to their economy." China may be locked in a vicious cycle of increasing output and diminishing returns, but with its exporters showing no signs of slowing down, and buyers across the world voting with their wallets in favor of their staple of Chinese cars, smartphones and consumer goods, it will perhaps take a lot more than tariffs and trade wars to wean the world off Made in China, at least in the foreseeable future...NYCN charges FG on youth friendly policies The Vice President of Nigeria, Senator Kashim Shettima, has reassured Nigerian youths that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is dedicated to involving them in all levels of governance. Speaking at the grand finale of the 60th Anniversary celebration of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) in Port Harcourt, Shettima emphasized that youth inclusion in governance is a cornerstone of the current administration. Represented by his Technical Adviser on Women and Youth Engagement, Hauwa Liman, the Vice President highlighted that the Tinubu administration is the first to offer extensive opportunities to the nation’s youth, underscoring the administration’s strong belief in the aspirations of Nigerian youths. He said: “His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assembled some of the finest young people in the country to form the backbone of his government and this is based on his conviction that you cannot plan for the future without the young ones at the decision making table . So youth inclusion to us is not just a promise, it is the cornerstone of our administration’s vision for Nigeria. “From the outset, we have worked to ensure that young Nigerians are not only seen and heard but also have the power and included at every level of governance”. He pointed out that the Tinubu administration has created numerous opportunities for youths to thrive in various fields, which he believes reflects the government’s commitment to empowering the youth and driving the real change the country requires. “Today, we stand as a government that has opened doors for young people like never before. Many of our ministers are your peers. “Your inclusion is more than a presentation. It is about creating opportunities that translates into real change. This administration has prioritised initiatives that empowers young people to excel in education, entrepreneurship and the creative and data industry. “We have launched the transformative programme like the Presidential Initiative for Youths Enterprise Clusters backed by N110bn Naira to support young entrepreneurs across agriculture, technology and industry. The Youths Investment Fund continue to provide critical financial support for start-ups and small businesses and ensuring that young Nigerians can turn their ideas into thriving ventures. “In the digital and creative sector where our youths have already proven their global competitiveness, we have rolled out a $618m United Dollars initiative designed to support tech and creative enterprises,” Shettima added. He stated that, to reinforce these commitments, the government is working on establishing a National Youth Development Bank and a youth data bank to provide young Nigerians with the resources, information, and opportunities they need to succeed. Shettima also highlighted the National Education Fund and the student loan scheme as additional government initiatives aimed at securing the future of Nigerian youths. The Vice President further encouraged the nation’s youth to take full advantage of the many opportunities available to improve their lives and contribute to the country’s progress. “Dear young Nigerians, the opportunity before you are vast, you are part of a generation that has the tools, skills and platforms to transform not only Nigeria but the world. “The digital economy and the creative space are yours to dominate. This administration is committed to providing you with the resources and support needed to succeed. “As we celebrate this milestone, I challenge you to cease this moment, embrace innovation, creativity and hardwork. Let your generation be the one that transformed Nigeria into a beacon of democracy, development and progress. Your voices are heard, your contributions are valued and your future is being shaped by the decisions you influence today,” he said. In his speech at the event, the Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, represented by the Chief of Staff of the Government House, Ehie Edison, said that his administration is deeply focused on youth development. He emphasized that this is why many young people have been given the opportunity to hold leadership positions. He pointed out that in Rivers State, the majority of local council chairmen, their deputies, and councillors are youths, with three of them being members of the NYCN. “This government is surrounded by youths who are very resourceful and are contributing immensely to governance, development of the state. We have commissioners who are youth ambassadors, large percentage of executive chairmen and vice chairmen are youths in their primes. Councillors are youths and this goes a long way to show that the governor is very very youth friendly,” he said. Ehie, stated further that the governor is investing in programmes and policies that intends to showcase the raw talents of Rivers youths and to empower them meaningfully, adding that across various tertiary institutions, there are scholarships for deserving youths who are hardworking currently ongoing and sponsored by Rivers State Government. While congratulating the National Executives on the celebration, he praised the National President, Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, for maintaining the legacy of the youth council. Ehie also encouraged the youth to avoid negative behaviors and instead focus on positive actions while engaging with the government at all levels. “I want to call on the NYCN to continually engage peacefully with governments at all levels, multinationals, Nationally Assembly to propose youth friendly legislations and for the multinational companies to engage our youths and also for government to propose programmes that would benefit the youths while also advocating for our youths to desist from crimes, criminality and tap into the skill acquisition opportunities which is the in-thing today across the country,” Ehie stated. Earlier, the National President of NYCN, Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, expressed gratitude to the Rivers State Government for hosting Nigerian youths during their 60th anniversary celebration. He highlighted that for six decades, the Council has been actively involved in shaping the future of Nigerian youths through positive initiatives. Sukubo took the opportunity to urge government officials at all levels to implement policies that will improve the country’s situation and alleviate the current hardships being faced. The youth leader also encouraged Nigerian youths to acquire skills and not solely depend on white-collar jobs, which are not easily accessible in the country. “I charge Nigerian youths to look beyond what they call white-collar jobs and focus on skills and we should grow in technology to impact on the society. We should not wait anymore for government. “We should look for how to also support the federal government and our state governors to see how to reduce insecurity and also support our National Assembly to make laws that can create employment opportunities for young people and also to enact policies that can grow our economy. “We are also appealing to the Federal Government to make policies that can accelerate economic growth in our dear country,” Sukubo said.5 rich 。

College Football Playoff betting guide: First-round odds, title favorites

Number of women who are state lawmakers inches up to a record highJim Montgomery was hired as coach of the NHL's St. Louis Blues on Sunday, five days after being fired as coach of the Boston Bruins. The 55-year-old Canadian, who guided Boston to an NHL record for wins and points in a season but never got past the second round of the playoffs, replaced Drew Bannister, who was fired after a 9-12-1 start by the Blues this season. An 8-9-3 start this season by the Bruins led to Montgomery's firing, but he signed a five-year contract with the Blues. "This was more an opportunity to get someone of Jim's caliber more than anything else," Blues president of hockey operations Doug Armstrong said. "We've had to deal with our situations off the ice with injuries and everyone deals with that, but this decision was based 100% on having someone of Jim's caliber becoming available when I didn't know that was going to happen." Montgomery is 180-84-33 as an NHL coach, having guided Dallas for two seasons and Boston for just over two campaigns, going 120-41-23 with the Bruins. In the 2022-23 season, the Bruins won an NHL record 65 games and compiled a record 135 points under Montgomery, who was named the NHL's Coach of the Year, but were upset by Florida in the first round of the playoffs. Boston also lost to the eventual 2024 Stanley Cup champions in last year's playoffs. Montgomery was dropped by the Bruins last Tuesday and replaced by Joe Sacco. "He certainly has a very positive demeanour, works well with the top players in the organizations that he's been with," Armstrong said. "He has a wealth of experience and he's at the prime of his coaching career." The Blues, who won the 2019 Stanley Cup, have missed the playoffs the past two seasons. Bannister went 39-31-6 as the Blues coach after replacing Craig Berube last December. Montgomery gets his first test with the Blues on Monday when they visit the New York Rangers. js/sev

Sunday's inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff bracket reveal officially set the stage for the most anticipated postseason the sport has ever seen. Eight more spots in the playoff field have created two extra rounds to determine a national champion, which could come from the Big Ten, the Southeastern Conference or even the Mountain West! Now that the initial matchups are set, it's time to examine the FanDuel odds for the first-round games and, of course, the latest national championship odds. CFP Bracket: Odds for First-Round Games Oregon's win over Penn State in the Big Ten championship locked the Ducks into the No. 1 seed, while Georgia's overtime triumph over Texas for the SEC crown moved the Bulldogs up to No. 2. Boise State slotted in at No. 9 in the final CFP rankings but is the No. 3 seed thanks to its win over UNLV in the Mountain West championship. With SMU losing to Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game, No. 12-ranked Arizona State is the four seed after it throttled Iowa State to win the Big 12. The top four teams get a bye, with the 5-12 seeds meeting in the first round. 12-seed Clemson (+330) vs. 5-seed Texas (-11.5) Texas was favored to win the SEC and lock down a top-four seed, but Clemson was not expected to beat SMU for the ACC title. The Longhorns will therefore hunt redemption, while Dabo Swinney's team is essentially playing with house money. The winner will face Arizona State in the Peach Bowl. 9-seed Tennessee (+215) vs. 8-seed Ohio State (-7.5) The third-highest-ranked team from the SEC (No. 7 Tennessee) will face off with the third-highest-ranked squad from the Big Ten (No. 6 Ohio State). This game brings the Buckeyes a chance at redemption for their embarrassing loss to Michigan to end the regular season. The winner will travel to the Rose Bowl to play Oregon. 11-seed SMU (+240) vs. 6-seed Penn State (-7.5) Concerns over strength of schedule dog both teams. Both have 11-2 records and were runners-up in their respective conferences. Penn State's only win over a ranked opponent was against then-No. 19 Illinois in Week 4, while SMU has knocked off then-No. 22 Louisville and then-No. 18 Pittsburgh. The winner will meet Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. 10-seed Indiana (+230) vs. 7-seed Notre Dame (-7.5) The Hoosiers may be the biggest surprise in college football this season, although their inclusion came with a few concerns over the strength of their schedule. After falling flat in a potential statement game against then-No. 2 Ohio State on Nov. 23, Indiana can prove its might against a Fighting Irish squad that won its last 10 games. The winner will take on Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. National Championship Odds and Picks Oregon was the betting favorite (odds via FanDuel) prior to the final rankings reveal at +230. Post-reveal, Texas and Georgia are co-favorites at +360, followed by Oregon at +380, Ohio State at +500 and Penn State at +600. Boise State is the biggest long shot at +7500 despite having a first-round bye. Like Boise State, Arizona State saw its odds go from +3500 to +6000 even though it doesn't play until the quarterfinals. The Picks are In... First-Round Best Bet: Indiana-Notre Dame UNDER 51.5-both teams have solid offenses but will find it difficult to move the ball against the other's defense. Upset Special: Clemson (+340) over Texas-Cade Klubnik will have his hands full against the Texas secondary, but the Clemson defense could be up for the challenge against Quinn Ewers and the Longhorns offense. National Championship Winner: Favorite-Oregon +380; Dark Horse-Notre Dame +1200; Long Shot-Arizona State +6000 --Field Level MediaAt Community Briefing, New Yorkers Express Frustration with City of YesDon't look now, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are knocking on the doorstep of a playoff spot. Despite losing 5 of their last 6 games going into last Sunday, the Bucs now sit just one game back in the standings of the idle Atlanta Falcons after a 30-7 win over the New York Giants on Sunday. According to the NFL.com playoff picture engine , the Bucs have a 54% chance of making the playoffs despite sitting in the 9 seed and out of the playoffs through 12 weeks. That's in large part because the Bucs have the second easiest remaining schedule by win percentage entering last Sunday. That's also because the Bucs are one game back in the loss column of both the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South AND the Washington Commanders - who lost to Dallas 34-26 on Sunday - for the seventh and final Wild Card spot. The Bucs would lose a tiebreaker to the Falcons by virtue of getting swept in the season series. As such, they'll have to finish ahead of Atlanta at the end of the season since they'd lose a tie. However, they hold a head-to-head advantage over the Washington Commanders for a Wild Card tie by virtue of the Bucs' 37-20 win back in Week 1. That win could end up paying dividends for Tampa Bay. The Bucs stand in position to potentially move even closer this weekend. Tampa Bay plays at Carolina, while the Falcons host a current playoff team in the Los Angeles Chargers. The Commanders host the Titans - who just upset the Texans on Houston - on Sunday.

New episodes every Monday and Thursday By LEWIS BROWNING Published: 23:17, 26 November 2024 | Updated: 23:18, 26 November 2024 e-mail 5 View comments Alan Shearer was left astounded by Manchester City 's late collapse against Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. City looked set to finally end their dire run of form at the Etihad when they breezed into a 3-0 lead thanks to an Erling Haaland brace and another strike from Ilkay Gundogan . Pep Guardiola 's side had lost their last five matches - including 4-1 against Sporting Lisbon last time out in Europe - and had hope to get back to winning ways before a difficult trip to Anfield to face Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend. That seemed a certain to happen in Manchester with around 15 minutes remaining, but a late blitz from the Dutch side saw three goals go in and the English champions rocked once again as the game ended 3-3 . The result leaves them down in 15th in the Champions League table, two points short of the top eight and having played one more game than half of the teams in the competition. And Alan Shearer, who was watching the game for Amazon Prime, was left stunned by City's latest collapse, with there currently being no sign that their struggles are going to end. Alan Shearer was left stunned as Manchester City collapsed once again on Tuesday night Pep Guardiola's side were 3-0 up with 15 minutes to play but ended up drawing 3-3 at home Shearer also picked out one specific moment which he felt summed up the side's struggles 'Conceding the way they did at the weekend, three again here. They look weak, they look frail, they're giving the opposition far too many chances, Shearer said, breaking down the performance. They were cruising midway through this game. 'What you cannot do is give the opposition hope and that's exactly what they did.' Former City player and manager Stuart Pearce, meanwhile, added: 'Liverpool will be rubbing their hands together, especially the way they play. Salah going in behind, Diaz, the runs that they make with and without the ball, they'll look at this and think it's got to be their tactic.' Feyenoord's goals all came in the last sixth of the game, with Anis Hadj Moussa getting one back on 75 minutes and Santiago Gimenez in the 82nd. City then had just a matter of minutes to hold out to cling onto the three points, but David Hancko bagged an equaliser one minute from time as home heads dropped. Shearer was left puzzles by the nature of City's play in the closing embers, and pinpointed one exact moment that summed up their current struggles. 'Even when they were winning 3-2 with two minutes to go and they're trying to take a quick free-kick,' the former striker began. 'Why? You're winning the game, there's no need to do that, sit on the ball. 'It's been an absolute disaster for them this evening after being in such a comfortable position.' Feyenoord scored three goals late on to earn a point at the home of the Premier League champions The result meant City dropped to 15th in the Champions League table and they could slip further this week City have now not won in six games, and have conceded 17 goals in their last six matches City have now conceded 17 goals in their last six games - a run which has seen them lose five games and win just once. That includes a 4-0 defeat by Tottenham at the weekend which saw them concede chances at will, while they also shipped four to Sporting, three on Tuesday and two on three occasions. Former City defended Gael Clichy could barely believe his eyes when analysing the game, and spoke about his ex-side's defensive efforts. He said: 'I'm lost for words. You can talk about what just happened but you win and lose games in both boxes.
