  • Xi told Biden at summit that China will reunify with Taiwan

    Jump

  • The PRC has always maintained that Taiwan is part of China and will be eventually incorporated back into PRC. (The ROC had the same position, but with respect to the mainland until 1991.) Taiwan was in fact part of China from 1683 until the Japanese started their imperial colonization of China and Korea, taking Taiwan in 1895. It would be news and a really big deal if the PRC stopped making that claim.

  • By equitable I meant 'equitable for everyone' not equitable for only the people of the core of the empire.

  • A degrowth society has to be an equitable society. Otherwise your criticism is entirely valid.

    We are going to have a degrowth system regardless of any policy decisions, as the current growth system is burning through critical resources and destroying the environment. We can either plan for this, or we can have an unplanned existential civilizational crisis.

    USA finds Huawei Mate 60 Pro 'deeply concerning': US Secretary of Commerce threatens new sanctions

    Jump

  • The 5G bullshit started because Huawei was ahead of everyone else in 5G tech. First the Obama administration, then Trump, then Biden all attempted to cripple Huawei's ability to produce 5g commodities in order to protect the development of domestic production.

    What is remarkable is how quickly the US discarded the 'free trade' pillar of its neoliberal ideology as a competitive threat to a critical technology emerged. The actual ideological principal is hegemony, not 'free trade'.

  • Ain't just Mississippi. Public toilets are generally infrequent in most of the US.. Fast food franchises are frequently the only bathrooms you can use.

  • Tesla Recalls 2 Million Cars to Fix Autopilot Safety Flaws

    Jump

  • It is the terminology required by the NHTSA regulations. Those regulations were obviously written before software updates were relevant to automobile components. The public documentation of defects are ‘recall notices’ by regulation.

  • actionable defects are 'recalls'. How they are remedied is irrelevant.

  • Tesla Recalls 2 Million Cars to Fix Autopilot Safety Flaws

    Jump

  • Because tesla has to comply with the regulations just like every other manufacturer, and that includes notification of recall issues and remedies. The use of the term 'recall' is of course outdated, but that is irrelevant. How the manufacturer remedies the defect has always been up to the manufacturer, as long as they comply with the regulatory process, most of which is simply documentation, like issuing recall notices.

  • tesla has had numerous hardware recalls as well. The whole industry does, it's absolutely normal. It is in fact the point of the recall system. Identify and repair defects before they cause massive harm.

  • The world came tantalizingly close to a deal to phase out fossil fuels

    Jump

  • For example, a business routinely dumps its toxic waste into a watershed, polluting that watershed and imposing huge costs on all the other users of the watershed that require non-toxic water. As this lowers the 'market price' for the goods produced by the business, the incentive is to always do this rather than pay the cost of safely processing the toxic waste. See for example the massive PFA problems. Here: https://www.usgs.gov/news/national-news-release/tap-water-study-detects-pfas-forever-chemicals-across-us

  • Allowing fossil fuels to not pay their use costs is artificially decreasing the cost.
