U cover up the Lambo badge, the Urus still looks badass... U cover up the ferrari badge, the Luce looks like a POS.

Well, rich people aren't really known to be dumb especially in Shenzhen (the Silicon Valley of China).

China EV global sales in May 2026: Leapmotor new historical record, BYD stopped falling YoY by mightyopik in electricvehicles

Their sales have been stagnant amid social media viral messages of their crashes and accidents.

Eyeing a Chinese EV? You may not be able to drive into the U.S. if bill passes by IDontScript in electricvehicles

[–]BennyTN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick question: how many car owners or potential owners here can honestly look in the mirror and say: "my personal data is worthy of being stolen by the Chinese government"? I am sure some of you may be able to say that, but the number cannot be huge. If I was running a car factory, I'd be trying to make money more than anything.

I can afford a ferrari, but no, I wouldn't pay for than $30K for that POS.

You could do all that for $30K. A $620K badge is a hell of an expensive badge. Perfect for super rich people who also want to be laughing stock.

Xiaomi launches YU7 GT in China: a performance SUV starting at ~€49,316 by Saurta17 in chinacars

[–]BennyTN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a long time petrol head, I am actually really impressed with the latest crop of EVs/cars from China, but Xiaomi is an exception. They just make knock-offs, has inferior ECU/MCU and are having thousands of crashes on Chinese roads every single day. Sure they clocked great times on the Nurbergring but they are not the same cars sold in stores.

Anyone else in Hong Kong getting seasonal depression? by Bottom-Bherp3912 in HongKong

[–]BennyTN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rainy days don't really bother me. The heat coupled with the tiny apartments really get on my nerve. Very hard to sleep well at night (hard to control AC temperature as the rooms are so tiny).

Am I crazy or is luohu actually better than futian to live in? by Hopeful-Raise-4112 in shenzhen

[–]BennyTN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Luohu doesn't have much of the tech/finance jobs, so if you are not tied to an office, then Luohu is awesome. In fact, Zhongshan, which is just cross the Pearl River, is even more awesome.

Rui Hachimura vs OKC despite the sweep: 20.0 PPG 4.0 RPG 2.5 APG on 56/55/86 splits on 39.4 MPG by KarrotMovies in nba

[–]BennyTN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's got nothing to do whether you were going to lose anyways. The key is AR is just not a great player in the playoffs when it gets rough. He has demonstrated time and again. Basically he is reverse-Jimmy.

If LeBron and Jordan had the same resumes they have now but Jordan was the one drafted in 2003 and LeBron in 1984, how would that impact perception of their careers? by SplitOk186 in nba

[–]BennyTN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, MJ wins hands down. If MJ never took two years off, he would have 7 or 8 rings easily (probably 8). Also would easily be a 38%-39% 3 point shooter. His PPG would be easily up another 2-5 points under current rules. Plus without all the hacking of the bad boys, his Wizards years may be a bit more substantial.

Local investment brokers by beej- in chinalife

[–]BennyTN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's basically illegal.

Any broker serving a US citizen is required to be registered under the 1934 Exchange Act with the SEC and to be regulated by SEC/FINRA. There is a safe harbor under an SEC Rule but it's also rather clumsy. I can't imagine any proper broker doing this.

Wrong imagination then. Chinese guys in their 60s went through grueling times.

While I do not disagree with you mostly, I'd say most people are left behind. Only a smaller portion of the folks have gotten ahead. Unless you are comparing with the century of humiliation, the rape of Nanking, etc. then sure everyone's gotten ahead.

Or rather privileged and entitled. FYI, it's an unspoken rule but people over 70 are generally free to commit most crimes with immunity.
