Agree. See the election last month in UK，everyone knows Sunak is more capable than Truss，but finally those hidden racism made an uneducated white lady became PM. But i think it's good for this old empire's falling.

Now see the current situation in UK politics, now Rishi Sunak has officially become the PM of UK. With this Rishi Sunak is now the first Indian origin PM of UK afaik. Sorry to go off-topic, I Know that this thread is about China but still wanted to post this here.

Last stop on my way home, we stop at a 4th tier cit, Liuzhou.

It's used to be a highly polluted industrial city, but now is famouse on R&D and manufactures of EVs.
We visit its Liuzhou Industry Museum.

Liuzhou Wuling was best selling brand for budget EVs over the world, was the 1st EV brand before BYD's raising in China.

The city make steel, automobile, heavy machines, weapon ...

 

[rockdog]

I guess the Liuzhou city would have highest of penetration rate on EV in China, would be something like 40%

When I first heard the news of Rishi Sunak becoming the PM of UK then it was truly a surprise for me.

I never thought that Britishers would allow someone like Rishi Sunak with Indian roots to Become the PM of UK. Rishi Sunak was born in Southampton, his parents of were of Indian descent who had migrated to Britain from East Africa in the 1960s.

Now it's re-activated after half year, just back from 1st May Intel' labor's holiday.

I arranged a 10 days trip, from the middle of China to Tibetan areas, including Tibet, Qinghai Province, Sichuan Province, the total distance was 6000KM, around 4500KM of high way, 1500KM of nationao express way, because the policy of the free access of highway during the holiday, it saved me around 300USD.

Started with my vehicle, powered by huge subsidy by government, i changed my sedan from Peugeot 408 to Citron C6. But this time will still use the VW Teramont, after adding a roof bag, the height is 195CM.

 

[rockdog]

The first 1 day is alway boring. I have to drive around 1500KM from mid China to the west.
The Anlu service area is the impressive one, maybe the Anlu is well on Tank making, it brought a Type63 in the middle of service area.

 

[rockdog]

Short stay in Xining city, the capital of Qinghai province. The Qinghai province is mix of Han, Tibetan and muslims.

Visit the important mosque in the city, and enjoy the muslim food.

Away from Xining city, after passed the Riyueshan Service Area, we were officially entering the Tibetan area.

 

[rockdog]

Service areas in Tibetan has RV camp area, since many people need to stay on high way, there are not many towns and hotels in Tibetan region.

For kids:

First plateau lake, Starry Lake:

The high pass, altitude is 4824m.

 

[rockdog]

Arrived in the first Tibetan city, Yushu, needed to stay for one day, my body is very uncomfortable since the altitude raised from 30m to 4000m within 36 hours, thanks to the super good highway system ...

City center of Yushu.

People here love big Toyota SUV very much, there is no space for EV, any city or town would cost 400-500km to reach.

Some Tibetan and Han people taking photo togehter:
