Nobody trusts China’s economic stats.

Except the IMF, World Bank, Moody, Standard and Poor, etc.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin

lol

This type of comment reads really chauvinist, especially when you're defending Biden for increasing oil production in the other thread

nuanced and realistic is when you hold other gvmts to higher standards than your own. Got it.

While I agree with the amount of CO2 being the meaningful statistic, I see China doing a lot more in that regard than the US.

• Per Capita CO2: China is way lower
• Produces and deploys renewables on an unprecedented scale
• Public transport is taken serious

When the US/West exported it's treat production to China pointing the finger to the total CO2 output is just chauvinist

Where are the photographs that you said you have of the Tiananmen Square massacre?

There's video footage of tanks leaving the square and trying their hardest not to run over "tank man" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU

Also there's a PBS Frontline Documentary that, albeit having a western slant, is telling vastly different story than what gets regurgitated on Reddit and other parts of lemmy

That was the documentary I was referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gtt2JxmQtg

Just reactionaries banding together

The Shenzhen frenzy dovetails with Hong Kong residents’ growing willingness to work and live in mainland China. A survey of people under 40 in the city by the Hong Kong-Guangdong Youth Association conducted last year found 66% of them are now open to employment across the border, tripling from 22% in 2020.

China genocided HKs culture so that more ppl stop realizing how bad cummunism is

IBM, IG Farben, Coca Cola, Hugo Boss, Volkswagen, Krupp, and many others were just doing regular business. And "privatization" definitely wasn't something invented by the Nazis. Got it.

The country ramped up coal-fired generation, but also added more renewable capacity than the rest of the world combined, according to the annual Statistical Review Of World Energy from the Energy Institute (EI). This means the carbon intensity of its energy is actually falling.

Chinese consumption is being driven by the expansion of data centres, 5G infrastructure and car charging, while many factories are also running at full tilt to meet demand for goods overseas.

“We should not ignore the energy and emissions that Europeans have effectively exported to Chinese manufacturers,” EI chief executive officer Nick Wayth said.

Love reading the radlibs in this thread just coping with nothing substantial to say when their views are challanged

Heres the original, I'll check and update the post when I find an alternative

Edit: Archive works again.

And think about how that tax revenue gets spent on weapons and not healthcare.

(Given those millionaires were able to circumvent China's strict capital controls. Even if some of them did I'm sure they'd find a way of circumventing taxes in their new host country also)

I wonder why

Yeah, fuck Harris (And Trump).

The mixed reporting in western press is amazing. The "geostrategic rival" being strong and weak at the same time.. wait where have I heard this type of rhetoric before?

This isn’t accurate, they were very active in brigandine other federations, hitting random threads on .world for instance with hundreds of reply comments drowning out anything that may be a tiny bit critical of china or Russia. Or pro west.

Have you considered that their users were just browsing the front page and what you're describing is just the nature of lemmy and how federation works?

There wereultiple cross-posts daily pointing to specific threads posted on hexbear to organize brigading.

You're likely referring to the_dunk_tank which is a community that encourages bullying homophobia, transphobia, fascists and liberale (pretty based imo)

The American stations, at least, are somewhat multinational, people from all over can go there. Perhaps they could invite foreigners to do work as well?

Where do you get the info that China isn't inviting foreigners?

China's Qinling Station in Antarctica, the country's fifth research station on the continent, started operation on Wednesday. The research facility is expected to help enhance mankind's scientific understanding of Antarctica, provide a platform for China to cooperate with other countries in scientific expeditions and promote peace and sustainable development in the region, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Also American research sites aren't somewhat open either. They kicked out the Chinese from the ISS..

Your comment implied they weren't thats why I asked. Especially since the Chinese are in fact inviting foreigners as per their foreign ministry.

Though I’m now curious what the reasoning was for the ISS kick.

Iirc it was the same national security bs

False, it's because there is a genocide happening in Gaza which is facilitated by the west and they would like it to stop, so they are hitting where it hurts them most

I think there is a [smear campaign against Adrian Zenz])https://www.wsj.com/...), more here.

There is no evidence linking the activity to the Chinese government

Mr. Zenz, who is now based in the U.S., said the letters are fraudulent and called the activity a smear campaign to try to discredit him. He said he has never received funding from Mr. Rubio or Mr. Bannon, and that he doesn’t accept money from politicians.

Thank you for this article. I love reading wsj and other western cope. Here's the unpaywalled article for others to enjoy https://archive.md/6cRwr

Nowhere in the article is the "smear campaign" debunked. It's only described. Nowhere it's debunked that Zenz actually does speak mandarin and nowhere is debunked that he isn't actually part of a fundamental christian rapture sect https://www.amazon.com/... - that is outlawed in China (based) - and thus has an interest in negatively portraying China.

https://www.rand.org/... https://www.theguardian.com/... are other sources based on what can be learned from satellite imagery.

Satellite Images like they had from WMD in Iraq? I wonder why these are always so blurry in 2020?

Also RAND lol https://www.rand.org/about/how-we-are-funded.html Check out how theyre funded

There are also interviews with escapees, e.g. https://www.theatlantic.com/... https://www.aljazeera.com/... https://thewire.in/....

Anectodes. If you want to see what a genocide looks like look to gaza
