  • US Intelligence Shows Flawed China Missiles Led Xi to Purge Army

    Jump

  • I disagree. ICBMs serve no purpose in a war unless you've already lost. Nuclear strike capability is suicidal and China's no-first-use policy makes ICBMs completely irrelevant to the discussion of China's war capability (particularly w.r.t. Taiwan and the SCS).

    You don't launch nuclear weapons unless you've lost and you want the other side to lose, too.

  • What even uses a liquid fuel in the Chinese arsenal? The newer Dongfengs are all solid fuel. US intelligence once again demonstrates their impeccable research ability.

    I guess the DF-4, but it was mostly decommissioned ages ago. There's like one or two hanging around for historical reasons.

  • They support actual US propaganda more than they support well-trusted international news agencies like Associated Press and SCMP.

    They've taken down Associated Press articles for "missinformation" and SCMP articles for "propaganda." Yet, RFA/RFERL articles are perfectly fine.

    Looking at the modlog, they also remove any comments that discuss their removal policy.

    40% of US electricity is now emissions-free

    Jump

  • The US has been producing more electricity from fossil fuel sources than ever before and uses accounting tricks to claim that consumption is more from renewables.

    Plot the total energy produced from fossil fuels on an absolute scale. It's been growing rapidly YoY.

  • Younger Americans are friendlier to China

    Jump

  • by policy, China makes it extremely hostile for non-ethnic Chinese groups to immigrate to China. If you're Han, Manchu, Hui, etc. it's not too hard, but if you're white you might as well give up.

    In fact, emigration from China has slowed in the past decade. QoL in China has gone up as it has gone down in the rest of the world, and the promise of better economic opportunities only materializes itself in tier-1 US cities like New York and San Francisco.

  • I mean if you're citing Tiananmen, I'd recommend that you read the messages and reports that came out of the US embassy during and following the event.

    They tell a rather different story than what's commonly spread today and base it off of actual first-hand eyewitness testimony. It's not by any means "Deng Xiaoping did nothing wrong," but it's extremely different from what's on Wikipedia.
