Singapore has found a winner in India's new tech. The future is very bright for Singapore Indian cooperation.

 Asia’s EVolution: As EV makers seek to cut reliance on rare earths, made-in-India solutions gain traction

This instalment of CNA’s series on the forces powering electric vehicles (EVs) in Asia examines India’s growing presence in the development of rare-earth-free motors, and the speed bumps facing wider adoption.

SINGAPORE: Electric vehicle (EV) makers are accelerating efforts to cut their reliance on rare-earth magnets after recent supply shocks exposed vulnerabilities in the industry, say analysts.

The shift is driving a broader rethink of motor design, as companies explore alternatives that can lower costs and reduce geopolitical risk tied to concentrated supply chains.

Indian automakers and suppliers are making inroads in this space, with several firms telling CNA how they are already testing or deploying rare-earth-free motor solutions across different segments.

Still, experts say India’s edge lies less in technological breakthroughs and more in its market conditions - scale, cost-conscious consumers and a localisation push.

At the same time, industry watchers and players point out that the transition is likely to be gradual, as automakers weigh whether alternative designs can match conventional motors on cost, efficiency and reliability.  CNA

Singapore's trust and faith in India becoming the next technological giant is shining brighter. Singapore's gamble in India overtaking China and America is vindicated. India has come up with a new technology for EVs that do not need rare earth, using rare earth free motors. This is a great Indian revolution. Can expect Singapore to pour in more money into India to make this invention real. Never underestimate Singapore's talents in picking winners. India is the bright spark of the 21st Century and Singapore is going to be the biggest winner. (Don't laugh if I tell you this secret. All the old cars built in the past were using rare earth free motors. No need to reinvent the wheel.)

Well done India. Well done Singapore. Your gamble has paid off. Hope this motor can come online, mass production quickly to make India the envy of the world and make Singapore very rich, and praises for those that believed in Indian technology as the future. Dunno what India is replacing rare earth with to do the trick. What can be cheaper and perform better than rare earth? Definitely not hot air.

China's EV and rare earth industries will be history. China is in deep deep trouble. Can expect the main media to pour more cold water on Chinese EVs. Stop buying Chinese EVs, wait to buy Indian EVs with rare earth free motors. Caveat, got to wait for the Indian trick to turn into reality. But it is alright to count the chicken before they are hatched. Champagne for everyone. CNA is celebrating the good news. Everyone is on a new high hearing this wonderful news. Wait for more elites to join in the song and dance. I told you, I told you, India is the future. Our money is safe.

PS. Anyone know why go through all the complex and difficult processes to get rare earths? Why not use normal earth or cow dung or shit straight from the ground?

While senators and congressmen and women sold their country to Israel, send American boys and girls to die for Israel....

WASHINGTON: Demonstrators decrying US President Donald Trump's policies took to city streets across the country on Saturday (Mar 28) in the third edition of the "No Kings" rallies which organisers hope will be the largest single-day protest in US history.

More than 3,200 events are planned in all 50 states and several cities outside the US. The two previous No Kings events attracted millions of participants.

Singers Bruce Springsteen and Joan Baez will headline a rally at the state capitol in Minnesota, where upward of 100,000 people are expected to gather in an area that became a flashpoint over Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration and the incursion of federal immigration agents into Democratic-led urban centres.

Other large rallies are taking place in New York, Los Angeles and Washington, but two-thirds of the events are happening outside major city centres, a nearly 40 per cent jump for smaller communities from the movement's first mobilisation last June, organisers said.

On the National Mall in Washington, the crowd chanted pro-democracy slogans and held anti-Trump signs. Outside one high-rise assisted-living center in Chevy Chase, Maryland, a group of elderly people in wheelchairs held signs encouraging passing cars to "Resist tyranny", "Honk if you want democracy” and “Dump Trump".

Can you believe it, that the senators and congressmen and women had sold America to Israel for a song, allow Israel to use all the weapons of USAF, USN, US Army and American boys and girls to fight their wars and die for Israel, the hillbillies and rednecks think the best thing to do is to honk, shout and put up placards on the streets? These are definitely more fun than bombing and killing Iranians. American narcissism in Washington and the streets of America are unbelieveable. Just be happy, have funs in wars, in killing people and in street demonstration.  Enjoy while you still can.

Billions and millions are being given to Israel to throw at the Arabs and Muslims freely while America is drowning in trillions of debt, and there is no accountability. The daft hillbillies and rednecks did not know what to do, did not know who is responsible and accountable, who are the traitors that sold them and their country to Israel, did not know that there is an American Constitution that demands to be protected and upheld by the politicians, both senators and congressmen and women. The hillbillies and rednecks are so daft, running out of ideas on what to do with traitors, with lunatics that sent their boys and girls to fight other people's wars and to die for other country. They have not heard of the word treason or traitors.

The clowns and fraudsters that they voted to make America great again are throwing America under the bus. God bless America! Keep shouting, screaming and honking to save America...while American boys and girls are dying in the Middle East, while American money are being thrown away as ammunitions, billions and trillions used against practically worthless targets so that the Military Industrial Complex has more reason to make more expensive weapons to rape the American Treasury and American people in their war business. And all will be approved by the clowns in Washington and the traitors in the Senate and House of Representatives.

Trump buying time to regroup and resupply for a massive invasion of Iran

Trump is again gloating about Iran giving him a 'big gift' relating to oil. True or not, I am not too sure. A 30-day ceasefire is said to be put in place. No more 5 extra day ultimatum? Trump has extricated himself from a serious consequence again and leveraging on that to claim he has negotiated a good hand. Tomorrow he will gloat about receiving a nice love letter from the new Iranian Supreme Leader, another gift for assassinating his father, many other Iranian leaders and murdering about 160 innocent children. That must be the mother of all forgiveness by the Iranian regime.

Iran must never ever trust Trump and Netanyahu ever again. All this is to pull wool over the eyes of the world, nothing more than face saving by the USA and Israel, both now running short of ammo and buying time to regroup and rearm. What are those marines converging on the Middle East for if not for further escalation? They will do surprises again once they have the means to inflict further damage on Iran. This is a multi-decade buildup of hostilities, not temporary and will be permanent.

France Emmanuel Macron is talking through his nose, telling Iran to 'talk in good faith'. Weren't negotiations ongoing in 'good faith' when the USA and Israel attacked Iran? Why not say that to the USA and Israel? Just this alone tells us who is not adopting good faith. The facts don't lie.

USA had been trying to create mistrust between Russia and China

Relations between countries are never always smooth sailing. Even families have misunderstandings among members, but they do not generally break up just because of that.

The USA had been trying to create mistrust between Russia and China, to pry them apart. So far, that has not succeeded. Likewise, I do not believe Chinese and Iranian leaders are that stupid to fall for the same propaganda by the USA to pry them apart. Both China and Iran are ancient civilizations with long history going back thousands of years and do not succumb easily to the tricks of upstarts that have tried to break up their country. Many have tried, many times, but have failed and history is there to provide the evidence.

Of course, there are smaller countries that do fall into the divide and rule mantra of the USA. Philippines is one perfect example, and India is caught in similar situation. But others like Malaysia and Indonesia are more pragmatic and being Muslim countries, like Iran, will never be able to fall in line with the likes of the USA and the West, so long as they have good leaders in charge.

Therefore, whatever the situation is between Trump and Xi, it is unlikely to change the geopolitical landscape and political ideology, whether they talk to each other or not. But as I say, relations among countries are never always smooth sailing. It is up to leaders to know how to navigate the waters, choppy or smooth it may be.

The brilliant strategy of clown Trump to make Russia rich and Europe poor

If the war goes on for a few more weeks, we should see some naked exposures. And none starker than the mention of ammos. Which is why someone is desperate for an exit strategy with some face-saving built in.
China and Russia are playing coy when they have cards to play. But why stop the game when both are winning and laughing all the way to the bank. Russia is reaping a bonanza with high energy prices while China still gets its oil on top of having Iran to test its weapons. China has enough oil stockpiles to cope for a few months.

What is even becoming atrocious is Trump begging countries to buy Russian oil to keep oil price down. That has not gone down well with Europe and especially Ukraine. Four years of oil sanctions just gone in a jiffy. And the move that really takes the cake must be allowing Iran to move its oil, said to be for 30 days only. Remember, all to be paid in Yuan. This is what we call cutting the nose to spite the face.
