George Floyd is just one name in a long list of African Americans to have died as a result of police brutality.

This week, former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering Floyd.

The jury unanimously convicted Chauvin of second and third degree murder, and manslaughter after the ex-officer pinned Floyd to the ground till he couldn’t breathe.

Following the verdict, crowds cheers outside the heavily guarded courthouse with people chanting “All three counts” and “Whose victory? Our victory!”

Floyd’s brother, Philonise was the only family member in court. He says he“was just praying they would find him guilty”.

US President Joe Biden has labeled “systemic racism” as a stain on the nation’s soul. He says the George Floyd trial “can be a giant step forward” for the country.

China’s dominance in the electric vehicle (EV) market is reshaping the global automotive landscape, as acknowledged by Elon Musk, who views Chinese car companies as Tesla’s most formidable competitors.

 

Beyond being a manufacturing hub, China has excelled in EV development, influencing the industry across resource refining, battery production, software, and manufacturing. Established brands such as Audi, Toyota, and BMW are now collaborating with Chinese partners for EV platforms, batteries, and production. This shift is evident in Australia, where China-made car sales have surged 16-fold in the last five years, and top-selling EVs are predominantly Chinese.

Leading Chinese brands like BYD, SAIC Motor’s MG, and Chery are making significant strides in Australia, with ambitious plans and models that outperform established competitors. China’s impact extends beyond its borders, making it a driving force in the global EV market, shaping growth, innovation, and competition in sustainable mobility.
