Yeah honestly I don’t really understand why Ukraine diverted forces to Kursk. They were dug into strong positions in Donetsk… Positions they’ve since had to give up as the Russian advance picks up pace.
Maybe Syrskyi saw the writing on the wall and went for a hail mary?
To get an idea of margins:
The BYD Seagull sells under the Dolphin Mini name in South America. The Seagull (see specs) is the BYD’s cheapest electric car launched in April last year. Its price range initially lay between 78,800 – 95,800 yuan (10,850 – 13,200 USD)
looks at China
Manufacturing labour costs were $8.31 per hour in China last year, compared with less than $3 in places such as India, Thailand and Vietnam. - The Economist
looks at Mexico
Anyway, manufacturing in China is a low-skill role that employs a huge proportion of the market. In terms of social/cultural value, its closest parallel in the US would be the retail services sector.
I too love to jail my political competitors after the they successfully split the vote from my real political rival (the KMT) in the last election. A bastion of democracy in East Asia.
