  • China to Achieve its 2030 Installed Clean Energy Target in July 2024

    Jump

  • Gansu, the poorest province in China, a province where "almost no one is living." Qinghai, Xinjiang... Same story. Together, they have almost 60 million people. Many of them are minorities with historically poor job prospects due to their distance from economic centers.

    By building energy installations in the middle of the country, they're providing jobs to a group that's been left behind by the rapid industrialization of the country's East. Providing them with a surplus of electricity. Driving investment in the region. Moreover, this group of people is more than the population of New York and Texas... Combined.

    How about you take your racism and your classism and shove it up your ass?

  • Many US solar factories are lagging. Except those China owns

  • These are factories in the US. The worst case is, the US seizes and nationalizes them. Wouldn't be the first time.

  • "Heavily subsidized supply chains"

    Let's just call it what it is: economies of scale. China makes up 80% of the polysilicon market. The US? Barely 5%. Scale is the strongest subsidy of them all.

  • Donald Trump calls for Taiwan to ‘pay’ for its own defence

    Jump

  • Taiwan's current government is incredibly pro-US. Trump understands that the DPP's days are numbered given the rise of the KMT/TPP (which only lost the election because of a last second collapse of coalition). Taiwan's government is pro-US in spite of the public's interest, not because of it.

    After all, Taiwan's trade with the mainland and Hong Kong make up almost 50% of all exports. The bulk of this is in basic goods across the Taiwanese economy, not the product of one company.

    In the past, Taiwan's frigid relations with the mainland were due to sour memories (losing the civil war, getting kicked out, etc.) Today? Young people just want a prosperous life, and China is absurdly prosperous - especially for young engineers in tech. The US can either recognize that fact, or drag another country into war.

    It's pretty funny when foreigners care more about your own sovereignty.

  • Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after shots fired at his Pennsylvania rally

  • Biden Confuses Kamala Harris for Trump, Zelenskiy for Putin at NATO Summit

  • Then you live in a failed democracy and your only option should be systemic regime change. Viva la revolución.

  • The amount of sugar consumed by children from soft drinks in the UK halved within a year of the sugar tax being introduced, a study has found.

  • The Health Survey for England 2021 estimates that 25.9% of adults in England are obese and a further 37.9% are overweight but not obese.

  • Pew survey on global attitudes on China

    Jump

    1. How do you think China got so prosperous? Being outsourced labour is the foundation of the Chinese economy.

    2. Stop projecting your AmeriKKKan views on other countries lmao

  • Lmao citing MBFC when the NYT is actively trying to unseat the sitting head of the Democratic Party

  • Biden introduces Zelenskiy as ‘President Putin’ at Nato summit

    Jump

  • It's a concern because Putin, Xi, Khamenei, Kim... They're all well-spoken. They're all quick-witted.

    What kind of message does that send would-be American allies in Asia, in the Middle East, in Africa, in South America?

    There's so many options here. This is the DNC's election to lose.

  • China to see biggest millionaire exodus in 2024 as many head to U.S.

    Jump

  • Being wealthy in the US/UK/Canada is so much better than being rich in China because the marginal advantage is substantially larger

    In China? You still take the train. Transit is probably still faster than driving. Your food expenses don't scale as fast because cheap food isn't made of garbage. You already likely own a home. You probably come from a tier 1/2 city, so traveling domestically is cheap. Your kid still has to grind for gaokao.

    In the US? You fly business. You drive around in your S Class. You can bribe infinite extracurriculars for your kid to get into a top university. You basically never have to interact with anyone in the lower 90% of incomes, and you don't need to be THAT wealthy to do so.
