As pioneering Chinese web forum returns, authorities warn free speech has limits

Chinese authorities have praised the return of Tianya – which was one of the country’s most popular internet forums in the pre-algorithm, pre-short-video era – while cautioning that freedom of speech must be balanced with responsibility. The pioneering web portal was launched by Tianya Community Network Technology Co. in 1999, when the internet was in its infancy in China, but suddenly closed in April 2023 due to financial problems. On Sunday, the company announced that the forum would come back

Gamblers are more likely to win than lose in this bull run

I read the simple path to wealth when I first got into investing last year. Kept it simple by investing all into S&P500 because “most people don’t outperform the market”. Well it certainly seems like most people ARE outperforming the market in this few years, and by a lot. Tried to run the race slow and steady and I’m definitely in last place right now. submitted by /u/Comfortable-Bit-126 [link] [comments]

Got a 15k EUR severance, parked it wrong for a year, trying not to repeat the mistake

Laid off early 2025, got around 15k EUR severance on top of my emergency fund. I'm 34, based in Tallinn, working again since last summer so this isn't survival money, it's just a lump I want to put somewhere sensible instead of letting it rot. Here's the embarrassing part. It sat in my checking account for almost a full year because I kept telling myself I'd "research properly" and never did. Rough guess that procrastination cost me 400 to 500 EUR in interest I could have earned risk-free. So th

How foreign investors should view China’s ‘little giants’ scheme

The surge of interest in Chinese humanoid robotics has raised a practical question for investors, corporate strategists and supply chain executives: who makes the parts? Reduction gears. Torque sensors. Precision bearings. Industrial software. The further one traces the supply chain, the more often the answer leads to companies that are not household names or well understood by foreign investors. Many carry a designation that deserves closer attention: “little giant”. China began cultivating...

China’s LNG Imports Recover Ahead of Peak Cooling Season

China imported 4.9 million tons of liquefied natural gas last month, a slight increase on an annual basis, Bloomberg reported today, citing shipping data. The rebound comes ahead of a likely jump in electricity demand over the summer as air-conditioning demand rises. The May figure is also a reversal of import trends from the previous few months, which booked a series of declines amid crimped supply from the Middle East that led to significantly higher prices, dampening importers’ appetite and g

Philippine Senate deadlock deepens after Estrada arrest, complicating Sara Duterte’s trial

The arrest of Philippine Senator Jinggoy Estrada has deepened a stand-off in the Senate, leaving the chamber split between two 11-member blocs and raising the risk of a wider political crisis, analysts told This Week in Asia. They warned the stalemate could stall legislation, delay military appointments and complicate Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio’s impeachment trial, leaving the Senate’s basic ability to do business hostage to a factional power struggle. Estrada, chairman of the Senate...

Too much information from the electricity provider for more favorable conditions, what's the catch?

I have now seen from several electricity providers that the price of work on offer goes down the higher my expected annual consumption is. Can I then simply make a statement that is far too high, of course pay too high a deduction and get the rest back in the billing, but with lower electricity costs? At what point does it become worthwhile to have a smaller discount and temporarily invest the difference somewhere else, has anyone ever done the math? submitted by /u/6
