Wusu is pretty solid beer. Tsintao tastes a little watered down imo

Could you kindly elaborate some more? Im not sure I follow. Is it because the people that bets on PM constitute a crowd thats not really informed on politics? I found the trump/Biden prediction to be fairly accurate and have been checking PM on and off, but would also love to hear an hexbear insight on this matter

Chinese exporters said to be ditching shipments mid-voyage to avoid crushing Trump tariffs - SCMP 2025-04-09

spoiler

A staff member at a China-listed export company, who requested anonymity, said its US-bound container volume had plummeted from 40 to 50 containers a day to just three to six as a result of the new tariffs on Chinese imports imposed by the second Trump administration.

...

With the escalating US-China tariff war already taking a heavy toll on Asian exporters, many American buyers are pulling out amid fears of soaring costs, prompting order cancellations said to be totalling as many as 300 containers a day for some manufacturers.

Facing steep new levies and an uncertain market, exporters are also scaling back operations. Factories have been reported to be cutting working hours and to have asked employees to take fewer shifts. The anonymous staff member at the China-listed firm said its US branch had begun laying off frontline workers as demand collapses.

Just because you had luck doing something incredibly stupid doesn't mean it was a good decision

Within the span of two days, more than 700,000 new users have joined Xiaohongshu, Reuters reported, citing a person close to the company. CNN has reached out to Xiaohongshu for comment.

As of Wednesday, the hashtag “TikTok refugee” had garnered nearly 250 million views and over 5.5 million comments. Many of the American users they had joined as an act of defiance against Washington’s move on TikTok.

“Our government is out of their minds if they think we’re going to stand for this TikTok ban,” a user called Heather Roberts said in a video message on Xiaohongshu, which has garnered more than 45,000 likes. “We’re just going to a new Chinese app, and here we are.”
