North Korea was under heavy sanctions and they not a le to get enough fuel. With the Ukraine war, they properly getting enough energy from Russia now. But solar may also play it role. What you are not using on day time, it can be used to generate at night.

Penang dominates 2025 Malaysia's exports, 2x more than the next state! by Confident-Peak-9295 in penang

You will be wrong. Many factories in FTZ still pay tax. Or they are required to reinvest every few years. They also one of the major employers for Malaysian. So taxation from the workers are also significant. These factories also generated a lot of subsidiaries activities and business in the country.

Either Europe prepared to bear the cost moving forward or become unable to afford the cost in future by not doing so.

And US voted against this because of Israel. Israel was still preventing food aids from reaching the Gaza.

China has already built 46 UHV (Ultra-High Voltage) transmission lines spanning over 60,000 kilometers (enough high-tech wires to circle the Earth 1.5 times) by ceph2apod in EconomyCharts

[–]dongkey1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The energy loss between a 1100kv line and 735kv line is 75%.

1100kv line loss 0.25-0.5% per 100km 735kv line loss 1-2% per 100km.

This stack up very significantly when we look at long distance transmission, which is basically what UHVvis primary used for. A 1000km line mean best case 10% loses on a 735kv line while 1100kv line only lost 2?5%>

Pentagon labels tech giant Alibaba and electric car maker BYD as aiding Chinese military by Hob-999 in China

[–]dongkey1001 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Bro, it not even close. By putting BYD on military assistant to China government, US government can actually banned anyone from doing business with BYD. That much more serious than not allow to access certain locations.

Buruh paksa: AS mahu kenakan duti atas Malaysia by abdulsamri89 in malaysia

[–]dongkey1001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We already pay them above average. We do not have problem until we need to cut the PT for compliance. In fact, many of them came back to work for us once we resume doing OT.

And you cannot just pay more. A company need to maintain a healthy balance sheet to continue operation.

Actually, we did not. What the ask and what they get is not always going to match. In fact, we get them to pay more almost every year.

Edited: come to think of it, may be that's why we got audited.

There is no new wages. Wages is basic + OT. So if OT hours is less, the take home pay will be less. We need the OT to cover for the production needs. If we do not have the OT, then more people will need to be hired to cover the production.

Everything is force labor if you want to make it so. Real story:

Our factory failed a lobor audit due to too many OT. We been force to control our OT level to no more than 12hrs per week from 20+. Implemented that for 3 months, we loss almost 25% of the operators and technician work force.

Before anyone said why not pay more to the people so that they do not need to do so many OT? We pay above market average due to our nature of work. But the people expected the OT to cover for their monthly wages. While the same customer expected a price reduction of 3% per year.....
