  • UN climate chief in Beijing: China's climate leadership is helping accelerate the global energy transition

    Jump

  • And now President Xi has said China will strive to do better than the targets in your new national climate plan – or your NDC [Nationally Determined Contribution].

    To put that in context: China has set its own NDC (deliberatly?) low. As the scientists at the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) say

    Historically, China has calibrated its climate commitments to levels that are largely achievable under existing policies and investment trends, allowing room for over-delivery.

    Referring to China’s 2035 NDC targets, the analysis adds,

    ... despite structural improvement, this target is unlikely to further lower emissions ... There is a substantial gap between the NDC targets and the reductions needed to align with 1.5°C ...

    As the CAT researchers conclude and you can see on their site, China is among the countries most behind when it comes to reach the Paris agreement.

    But it's a good speech by the diplomat at the Chinese university and it fits OP's ongoing propaganda move.

  • Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone

    Jump

  • I fully agree, but there is already Ubuntu Touch. It's a great mobile OS imo, but it indeed lacks mass adoption as you say, and so you may miss some apps.

  • BRICS talks end without joint statement, exposing divisions over war in Iran

    Jump

  • I don't know which countries you'd call a proxy in this context, but the BRICS problems arise from within. This has nothing to do with the US or anyone else. This was never a bloc of countries based on mutual trust imo, and with the governments in the major BRICS countries it will never be.

    [Edit for clarity.]

  • China urges caution over British Steel nationalisation plan

  • China ... called ... to "respect the ​wishes of firms and ​market principles, and avoid the ⁠abuse of administrative coercive measures".

    What a nice statement by a government that has been doing exactly the opposite and coerces literally every 'ally' whenever it thinks to gain an advantage.

  • Kyiv’s corruption scandal threatens Zelenskyy’s EU push

    Jump

  • It's another reason not to read 'Politico' (and OP's posts, who frequently cross-posts Chinese and Russian propaganda narratives).

    The title of strongly misleading as there is just a single reference to Ukraine's accession bid at the end of article, and all it says that it will be a longer process. This might be true, but the EU’s enlargement process is historically slow, with past candidates often requiring several years of negotiations. However, the EU has made it clear it's ready to speed the process up. Kos and Kallas (the EU's commissioners for enlargement and foreign policy, respectively) announced just this week to open all clusters for Ukraine's and Moldova's accesssion talks before this summer.

    This is a clickbaity headline.

  • ‘Everyone wants to come to China now’: Chinese universities draw more foreign students beyond Western countries

    Jump

  • That's part of so-called "Chinamaxxing" that started on Tiktok some time ago and has now arrived to other social media platforms, spread by influencers and other propagandists like OP.

    As one article by the BBC says,

    One of the most influential figures behind the Chinamaxxing meme is Sherry Zhu, a Chinese-American TikTok content creator who regularly shares traditional wellness tips with her "Chinese baddies".

    "Tomorrow you're turning Chinese," she tells her 740,000 TikTok followers. "And I know that sounds intimidating, but there is no point in fighting it now."

  • Nations meet to discuss fossil fuel exit as Iran war drives up prices

    Jump

  • The group of 60 states that discuss the fossil fuel phase out as described in the linked article formed during the latest COP last year in Brazil as the majority of governments refused to commit to an end of fossil fuels. China and the US, both among the world's largest polluters in total as well as per capita, are among these countries. They have no interest in a fossil fuel phase out.

  • Kim praises North Korean soldiers who blew themselves up to evade Ukraine capture

    Jump

  • “One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.”

  • Nations meet to discuss fossil fuel exit as Iran war drives up prices

    Jump

  • The title is a bit misleading as there are only around 60 democratic states that meet to discuss fossil fuel exit. The majority of governments, including the the world's biggest polluters, are missing, particularly China and the US.

  • Taiwan president cancels trip after African countries revoke flight permits

    Jump

  • China praises countries that blocked Taiwan overflight to Africa

    At a ​regular news conference in Beijing, a spokesperson for China's Taiwan ​Affairs Office expressed appreciation ​for the position [of some countries to revoke flight permits]. Taiwan ​... accused China of pressing ​the ⁠Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar to revoke permission for ⁠his ​aircraft to fly ​over their territories.

  • Another win for "human rights law".

    Jump

  • To make things worse: according to a freedom of information request filed in 2020 with all 32 councils in London, as well as 20 other major UK cities, about two-thirds of public cameras are made by two Chinese companies (Hikvision and Dahua) that are both accused of links to the repression minority groups in China, including allegations of forced sterilisation, slave labour and mass internment.

    This will expose ordinary citizens to a foreign dictatorial regime, including those who fled from China and other countries to the UK to escape repression.
