Why is she not talking about other countries migrating? Abi she thinks she will be PM forever, even if she's given?
Imagine Rishi Sunak talking thrash about India.

He wasn't stupid enough to think he doesn't need their votes, while most Nigerians in UK are ashamed of Kemi.

Actually, the OP never used the term "Made in". Rather he used "Korean" and "Chinese", and that makes all the difference.
You've set up your own argument that "Neither Tesla nor Apple is Chinese", and would now have to argue it all by yourself since I you quoted never said "Tesla and Apples are Chinese"

In the very first line of the op is the word "produce". And my response was a question that has not been responded to.

The assumption is, if you produce something, you made it, which is why Iphones and Teslas made or produced in China will be labelled made in China (unless you'd like to argue otherwise, of course).

The weak Palestinians living in Israel are living a better life than the ones who are bringing stones to a gun fight.

They have been reduced to the stone age.
The Palestinians are not the ones who picked a fight with Israel. Hamas did. And Israel is reducing the entire Palestine to your stone age, though Israel's embargoes already ensured it was stone age before Hamas attacked, which some would argue is why Hamas attacked.

Thing is, not everyone is you who is afraid to die to protect what's yours from bullies. Some will die fighting for their rights instead of just handing their rights over to a bully. And that's why we have people like Mandela and Gandhi who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others, unlike you who'd just accept your oppression.

Neither Tesla nor Apple is Chinese. That they're produced in China doesn't automatically make them Chinese. Just the same way Samsung phones made in India or Vietnam don't mean they're Indian or Vietnamese.
Read the discussion from the beginning please. No one said Tesla and Apple are Chinese.

The argument is, not all products made in China, like iphones and teslas, are cheap low quality products, as the op implied.

Is this why Made in China Iphones and Teslas are cheap low quality pioneers?

I’ve already told you that if you know your chances of winning are 0%, what's the point of fighting? You’ll just end up losing your lunch and maybe a few teeth.

Instead of fighting, why not just hand over your lunch? It’s the same situation as being robbed at gunpoint by a couple of gunmen.

We’ve discussed this before. Look at Gaza; it’s been flattened. All of this is what I predicted about 4years ago.
Only weak people assume their chances of winning is zero. It is smart to stand up to bullies or you'll end up a slave to the bully.

Nakba has a masculine, cultural,historical and religious dimension
Don't you mind those Palestinians. They should get over the genocide inflicted on them by Israel. Instead they are listening to General buda who is funding them to fight back like they have not heard "To the winner go the spoils of war".

During the foundational events of the Nakba in 1948, approximately half of Palestine's predominantly Arab population, or around 750,000 people,[19] were expelled from their homes or made to flee through various violent means, at first by Zionist paramilitaries, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by its military. Dozens of massacres targeted Palestinian Arabs and over 500 Arab-majority towns, villages, and urban neighborhoods were depopulated.[20] Many of the settlements were either completely destroyed or repopulated by Jews and given new Hebrew names.[20][21] Israel employed biological warfare against Palestinians by poisoning village wells. By the end of the war, 78% of the total land area of the former Mandatory Palestine was controlled by Israel.

You have to understand that you cannot fight a bully if you stand no chance of winning the fight. Give him your lunch and keep all your teeth. You can choose to fight and lose your lunch and your tooth.

The ones who choose not to fight are in parliament, living in Harmony in Israel.
This is what weak you would do, give up your lunch to the bully. If you were alive when Germany was bullying Europe, you'd roll over to save your teeth. Good thing though that not everyone is weak like you.

Some of value our freedom so much that we are willing to lose our teeth and our life for it and "shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time the New World with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of the Old".

No, Israels existence is not my problem, as they, like all humans and Palestinians have a right to exist.

Nigeria has not thrown me off my land and my village, I am just part of Nigeria though I may prefer not to be. Same way the Palestinians were not thrown off their land,
Keep ignoring the evidence while trying to convince yourself you are not the ignorant one here.

The international community considers Israeli settlements to be illegal under international law,[9][10][11][12] but Israel disputes this.[13][14][15][16] In 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) found in an advisory opinion that Israel's occupation was illegal and ruled that Israel had "an obligation to cease immediately all new settlement activities and to evacuate all settlers" from the occupied territories.[17] The expansion of settlements often involves the confiscation of Palestinian land and resources, leading to displacement of Palestinian communities and creating a source of tension and conflict. Settlements are often protected by the Israeli military and are frequently flashpoints for violence against Palestinians. Furthermore, the presence of settlements and Jewish-only bypass roads creates a fragmented Palestinian territory, seriously hindering economic development and freedom of movement for Palestinians.[18]

The unauthorized seizure of private Palestinian land was defined by the Civil Administration itself as 'theft.'[197] According to B'Tselem, more than 42 percent of the West Bank are under control of the Israeli settlements, 21 percent of which was seized from private Palestinian owners, much of it in violation of the 1979 Israeli Supreme Court decision.[128]

I don't think so. China manufacturers produce based on customer specification and strictly for export.
Perhaps don't just think so, and consider the facts instead, because my research shows China is the second largest market for both Tesla and Iphone.

The second largest market for Tesla is China, following the United States. While the US accounts for the largest share of Tesla's sales revenue, China represents a significant portion, contributing around 21% of the company's global sales revenue, according to a report on Investing.com. Tesla has a strong presence in China, including a Gigafactory in Shanghai, which produces vehicles for the local market.

Tesla's sales in China have shown a mixed performance recently. While they experienced a year-on-year decline in Q2 2025, with a 11.7% drop in deliveries, they also saw some positive trends with a rise in sales in June after several months of decline.
The second largest market for iPhones is China. While the United States has the highest concentration of Apple stores and is a major market, China's large population and strong iPhone sales place it as the second largest market globally. In 2023, iPhones held a 17.3% market share in China, up from 16.8% in 2022.

In China, iPhone sales have experienced a recent resurgence with an 8% year-on-year increase in the second quarter of 2025

The partition plan voted on in the UN did not provide for the dispossession or forced removal of a single Palestinian from a land they owned
You are rude.

Why is Israel dispossessing and forcing the removal of Palestinians from land they owned.

Heres from 1948

Expulsions and attacks against Palestinians were carried out by the Zionist paramilitaries Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi, which merged to become the Israel Defense Forces after the establishment of Israel part way through the war. The expulsion and flight was a central component of the fracturing, dispossession, and displacement of Palestinian society, known as the Nakba.[5] Dozens of massacres targeting Arabs were conducted by Israeli military forces and between 400 and 600 Palestinian villages were destroyed. Village wells were poisoned in a biological warfare programme and properties were looted to prevent Palestinian refugees from returning.[6][7] Other sites were subject to Hebraization of Palestinian place names.
