Corporate media is shameful

[@rosemedallion2848]

We hope the people who want experience and wisdom with age never reach our President Joseph R Biden's status, media included. The worst person of the two is Mr. Donald J Trump! You cannot tell your heart a lie. Voters will show up and show all. Drop the negative people who may influence people who are negative, especially the media. Remember what President Kennedy said concerning what the press puts out to the public. Follow peace with all men.

It is so great to be alive during a time where not only has the media realized, the partys over, and the peoople no longer want anyone with political experience, but so do both parties. I like what trump has accomplished more than whether or not hes the best for the country. Power to the people who run the country, not work for uncle sam.

[@aihong2971]

His statement on China was not factual. 1. Financial Sector: • As of recent years, foreign companies like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have indeed been allowed to own 100% of their operations in China. This marks a significant shift from the previous joint venture requirements that mandated majority Chinese ownership. • In 2020, China removed foreign ownership caps for securities companies, futures companies, and life insurers, allowing full foreign ownership. 2. Automotive Sector: • Similarly, the automotive industry has seen changes. Companies like Tesla and BMW have increased their ownership stakes in Chinese ventures, with Tesla even owning 100% of its Shanghai Gigafactory. • China announced plans to phase out joint venture requirements in the auto industry by 2022, further liberalizing the market. Given these points, President Biden’s statement that foreign companies must have a 51% Chinese owner is outdated and does not reflect the current regulatory environment.
