  • Canada's budget to increase taxes on the wealthiest, says source

    Jump

  • A large part of this is also the monopolies that large companies hold on essentials: groceries, telecoms, banks, etc. These are industries where competition does not spur innovation: rather, competition only harms the consumer.

  • Japan vows to promote strategic, mutually beneficial ties with China

    Jump

  • I guess Japan has had enough of getting embarrassed by Chinese contractors in HSR and transit projects lol

  • Canada's budget to increase taxes on the wealthiest, says source

    Jump

  • Usually I'm supportive of tax hikes on the rich, but I think it's important to note that the top tax bracket in Canada is $246752. Canada needs more granular tax brackets at the top end.

  • Will China flood globe with EVs, green tech? What's behind latest US-China trade fight

    Jump

  • Is that why it takes so many design cues from the Taycan? Makes sense actually...

    Jump

  • We're talking about the country that constitutionally protects the right to slavery, right?

    We're also talking about the same country that gives semiconductor companies billions of dollars, EV companies billions of dollars, and cuts tax breaks to pharmaceutical companies, right?

    Wait... Which country are we talking about?

  • ‘Something must change’: EU chamber warns of unfolding ‘train accident’ with China

    Jump

  • Oh no! The lack of investment in R&D from established European car companies and the lack of investment in European car startups led to European cars being uncompetitive globally?

    There's an easy answer to this: build factories for Chinese car companies in Europe. That's not the answer that key corporate lobbyists will like, but it's the one that solves all the problems.

  • An illegal war with Houthis isn't stopping the Red Sea crisis

    Jump

  • Is the Yemeni government bombing residential complexes, universities, and hospitals?

  • Will China flood globe with EVs, green tech? What's behind latest US-China trade fight

    Jump

  • Why does it matter if US green manufacturing is quashed? You could've said the same thing for US dominance in the combustion car industry starting from Ford, for US dominance in the tech industry for decades, for US dominance in the media industry...

    Why is green energy somehow different? Cheap Chinese solar panels and EVs decrease cost of living for Americans. They decrease inflation. The only con is that they prevent more jobs from being created in green manufacturing in the US... But even then, that's only because the US doesn't let Chinese companies in.

    Are you that much of a corporate apologist that you would rather people starve in the name of corporate profits than buy Chinese goods?

  • Will China flood globe with EVs, green tech? What's behind latest US-China trade fight

    Jump

  • Have you sat in a Chinese EV? They put US and European one to shame.

    Chinese solar panels used to not be great, but today they're easily competitive with the best that US and European vendors have to offer but at a fraction of the cost.

    Jump

  • It's actually absurd how the Xiaomi SU7 can sell for the same price as a decent Camry.

    Jump

  • It helps wage the war against climate change, cost of living, and inflation. Simultaneously. How spectacular.

  • Trust Index 2023 to 2024: Developing Countries Lead on Trust

  • Amid Grid Breakdown, Chinese Firms Offer Effective Solar For Nigerian Households

    Jump

  • Yunnan province’s Department of Commerce donated 200 sets of off-grid photovoltaic equipment to rural Nigeria under the ‘Green Energy Africa, One Belt, One Road lightening Up of Thousands of Households’.

    Holy shit what if Nigeria leapfrogs the massive fossil fuel-driven industrial revolution and jumps straight into an electrified future?

  • North Korean TV censors British gardening show host’s jeans

    Jump

  • Wait but I thought North Korea banned foreign media?

  • Huawei to Pay Out USD10.7 Billion Annul Dividend for 2023

    Jump

  • Split evenly, this would be more than 70,000 USD per employee. Of course, the ownership structure isn't entirely flat, but (for example) the founder and CEO only has a 0.7% share.

  • ‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza

    Jump

  • In an unprecedented move, according to two of the sources, the army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians; in the past, the military did not authorize any “collateral damage” during assassinations of low-ranking militants. The sources added that, in the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigade commander, the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander.

  • Beware of terrorism's shift towards the East

    Jump

  • Within an order of magnitude? You can't give a number within an order of magnitude? There's only 20 million Muslims in China. There's only 9 reasonable answers (100, 101, 102, ... ~108), and any answer you give covers 3. In fact, 100 and 108 aren't really "answers" because they're entirely dominated by the other options, so you have 7 reasonable answers.

    You fucking kidding me? You might as well have said 0, because that's about as much good as your answer did. You made the claim, now back it up.

  • Global glut turns solar panels into garden fencing option

    Jump

  • China is rotating construction workers into solar panel deployment. May are theorizing that this will be the last great rotation of China's glut of blue collar workers. Projections always assume market effects at play, but those don't always hold for China.

  • Beware of terrorism's shift towards the East

  • How many Muslims has China murdered? Give me a number within a factor of 10.
