  • Dozens of deaths reveal risks of injecting sedatives into people restrained by police

    Jump

  • See, in authoritarian regimes you get injected with sedatives that kill you if you attempt to resist the government.

  • Mandating Employees’ Participation in Corporate Governance under the Revised Chinese Company Law

    Jump

  • Uhh... Holy shit?

  • Shafik authorizes NYPD to sweep ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment,’ officers in riot gear arrest over 100

    Jump

  • Why is this escalating so much faster than the 1989 Chinese democracy protests or the 2019 Hong Kong protests? In those cases, it took weeks for arrests to happen and months for force to be deployed. Most law enforcement in those cases were unarmed.

  • Chinese EV makers won’t get subsidies from Mexico after US pressure

    Jump

  • Subsidized by the government like...

    Tesla?

    Oh, you meant other traditional car manufacturers like GM who took government loans to bail them out from bankruptcy.

    They're made to saturate and destroy markets with cheap goods, driving out the competition. Once there is no competition, they have the market to themselves and can manipulate as they see fit.

  • China Moves Toward Ban on Japanese-Style ‘Maid Cafés’

  • US vetoes widely supported resolution backing full UN membership for Palestine

    Jump

  • Don't come here to lemmy.world with your reasonable takes on socialism. Don't you know socialism is bad?

  • US vetoes widely supported resolution backing full UN membership for Palestine

    Jump

  • Ethnic exclusion, racism, a wealth of natural resources, a small population, and no real geopolitical tensions to worry about (prior to joining NATO, at least). Hm.

    I'm sure this is a robust and scalable model.

  • Chinese EV makers won’t get subsidies from Mexico after US pressure

    Jump

  • Chinese EV makers, or Chinese-made EVs?

    One is perfectly fine, reasonable, and logical, while the other is stabbing yourself in the foot because your friend asked you to.

  • US vetoes widely supported resolution backing full UN membership for Palestine

    Jump

  • Socialism without revolution is a fringe and hopeless endeavour. It requires fundamentally changing the mechanisms by which the economy functions.

  • Everyone knows that gases are the most convenient option, too. None of the logistical issues of solids and none of the messiness of liquids.

  • Chinese scientists increase F-22 fighter jet’s radar signature 60,000 times with new detection method: study

    Jump

  • And this is also true of conventional jet intercepts. Point being, the problem of stealth is basically no longer a problem.

  • US approves Rafah op. in exchange for no Israeli counter-strikes on Iran - report

    Jump

  • Israel: what if we just do both?

  • Chinese scientists increase F-22 fighter jet’s radar signature 60,000 times with new detection method: study

    Jump

  • Your claim is that if I can track something to within 20m, I can't send a fighter (or multiple) up to engage with it?

  • Chinese scientists increase F-22 fighter jet’s radar signature 60,000 times with new detection method: study

    Jump

  • If you can detect, you can intercept. If you can detect, suddenly a whole host of interception strategies are viable.
