In America, the law often legalizes the illicit. Accountability is a mirage: fatal mistakes are settled with hush money, bribes masquerade as campaign donations, and government contracts are rewarded with multimillion-dollar paychecks upon leaving office. Take Meta—paying billions to settle child-harm claims, yet admitting no guilt. As Julianna Arnold, who lost her daughter to online grooming, puts it: there is still no real accountability.
The story of Valentin Debise and Zhang Xue reminds me of a private San Francisco couple who prefer to remain anonymous. 瓦倫丁·德比斯與張雪的故事，讓我不禁想起舊金山一對低調的夫婦——他們不求名聲，所以請容我隱去姓名。兩人都曾是UCSF的醫生，如今已退休。先生來自台灣，太太來自上海。五十年代離開上海時，太太曾誓言永不回中國；然而，親眼見證這片土地從百廢待興走向民族復興，她與先生一同對中國有了徹底的改觀，更對習近平主席的領導給予由衷肯定。
Both are retired UCSF physicians—the husband from Taiwan and the wife from Shanghai. After leaving Shanghai in the 1950s, she vowed never to return to China. But witnessing the country’s transformation changed their views, and they now express strong support for President Xi Jinping’s leadership.
For more than a decade, they have used their savings to help disadvantaged children in China’s smaller cities complete secondary school and attend university. More than one hundred students have benefited. Their only request is that these young people someday help others in turn.
Although they have two accomplished children, the couple do not plan to leave them an inheritance. They believe their resources should instead support those in China who need a helping hand.
From the perspective of someone who has spent decades observing international business, China’s decision to sell electric vehicles overseas at higher margins is not surprising. In fact, it follows a very familiar commercial pattern.
China now has dozens of EV manufacturers producing hundreds of models. Domestic competition is extraordinarily intense. Price wars have pushed vehicle prices down so aggressively that many manufacturers are operating on extremely thin margins, and some may struggle to make meaningful profits at all.
Under those conditions, looking overseas is simply rational. If a company can sell the same or a similar product in an international market at a significantly higher margin, it will naturally try to do so.
We encountered a very similar situation more than twenty years ago.
Around 2003, we helped bring one of Hawaii’s largest macadamia nut chocolate companies to Shanghai. The company had already built a successful business in Japan. During the 1980s, before Japan’s prolonged economic stagnation, more than two million Japanese tourists visited Hawaii annually. Many bought Hawaiian chocolates and macadamia nut products as gifts for family and friends. Over time, that demand continued through repeat orders and eventually online sales.
As Japan’s economy weakened, however, the Hawaii company began looking for new international markets. China appeared to be a natural opportunity.
What was particularly interesting was the company’s profit structure. Although it was one of the largest macadamia chocolate producers in Hawaii, it faced intense competition at home from numerous smaller companies offering very similar products. To defend market share, it had to compete heavily on price.
As a result, its Hawaii business operated on razor-thin margins.
International sales were completely different. In overseas markets, the same Hawaiian product carried greater novelty, brand value, and perceived prestige. Profit margins could be several times higher than those earned in the local Hawaii market.
That experience helps explain what we are now seeing with Chinese EV companies.
Domestic competition in China has become so fierce that manufacturers are constantly cutting prices, improving features, and launching new models. Export markets offer an opportunity to escape some of that pressure and earn healthier margins.
This is not unique to China, nor is it unusual business behavior. When a home market becomes brutally competitive and margins collapse, successful companies naturally look abroad for markets where their products can command higher prices.
We saw it with Hawaii macadamia chocolates more than two decades ago. Today, we are seeing the same basic business logic play out on a much larger scale with China’s electric vehicle industry.
Rescue teams are pressing deeper into the heart of the mudslide disaster zone in Gyirong, southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region – their mettle tested every step of the way.
After tireless work to reopen the G216 route to the hardest-hit area, the path was cleared for rescuers on September 2. Emergency communications are also back up, with temporary base stations keeping crews connected as they push forward with search-and-rescue dogs and life-detection gear.
When disaster strikes, frontline workers move toward the danger zone, where every minute counts and hope refuses to fade. We salute to every rescuer racing against time to save lives.

At the G20 Finance Ministers’ Meeting, the U.S. tried to slip in its own agenda to label China—but China vetoed it with a single vote! Bessent shouted “19:1,” but since the G20 has no voting mechanism, where did that “19:1” even come from?
The U.S. then turned around and pushed the “Carolina Principle” at the G20 Innovation Ministers’ Meeting—demanding that all countries adopt a “light-touch” approach to AI regulation. On the surface, they talk about freedom, but in reality, they’re terrified that China’s open-source AI might catch up to the U.S. Meanwhile, SCO member states are “extremely eager” to bring in Chinese AI technology.
From the G20 to the SCO, from AI to energy, China and the U.S. are heading down two completely different paths.
Video with English subtitles: A touching story between Valentin Debise & Zhang Xue! “Pull me up, and I’ll help raise your kids.” An unfunded two-million-yuan sponsorship, with no contract signed, unveils the most touching scene in the racing world. 瓦倫丁·德比斯與張雪之間的感人故事！（視頻附英文字幕）『你拉我一把，我幫你養細路』一筆冇簽合同嘅兩百萬資助，揭開賽車圈最感人嘅一幕. 一個懂得感恩的故事! 你做得到嗎?
A 34-year-old French racer, forced into retirement in Europe, couldn’t even afford to change his tires and was driven to the brink by bank collection texts. A Chinese boss who dropped out of school at 14 and started out as a mechanic, built his own motorcycle brand through sheer grit. When these two “underdogs,” both cast aside by their respective worlds, met, the gears of fate began to spin wildly!
Valentin Debise, riding Zhang Xue Motorcycle’s 820RR-RS, pulled off one stunning comeback after another on the WSBK (World Superbike Championship) track: 🔥 Portugal: A debut double victory, securing the first-ever win for a Chinese brand in history! 🔥 Czech Republic: A clean sweep of both races in a single round! 🔥 Emilia-Romagna: Despite his bike being restricted to 85% power, he pulled off a极限 last-corner overtake to snatch victory!
But even more moving than the wins on the track is the story off it: During his first Chinese livestream, over 1 million RMB in tips came in—he didn’t keep a single cent, donating every last yuan to a Chinese youth training base! “At my old team, I was just a number. At Zhang Xue Motorcycle, I’m a person.” “I owe Zhang Xue my life.”
This is not just a business partnership—it’s a热血 story about being “truly seen,” about dignity, and about legacy!
