At least do some basic reading of theory instead of bringing nothing new to the table. China is run by communists and the economic system is market socialist (or more accurately SWCC). And yes socialism isn't without contradictions. You haven't event answered my questions how you imagine communism to come about, coward.
The CCCP? Yeah, English speakers don’t usually refer to it by that acronym. It’s almost universally referred to as the USSR. I’m reasonably well informed on history and I had to look it up.
While you're right in saying that USSR is the common western spelling CCP definitely makes a loose association with CCCP for older generations and brings up cold war memories.
Also while the article you shared is basically saying it's inconsequential and that even the CPC can't keep it consistent and only people who are online care, it does say the preferred official acronym (CPC) and whether it's racist or not depends on context (which is always true). The poster I replied to didn't use it negativy for example.
As a general observation thought (which the article doesn't go in to) is that CCP is mostly used by by people that have a negative view of China and CPC is used by people that have a more nuanced view.
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.
Personally I prefer the FT, WSJ, Foreign affairs articles where the ruling class admits things that other outlet don't e.g. where the "spy balloon" had "surveillance capabilities" i.e. weather surveillance capabilities
Is the US among it? And why are they choosing to arm Taiwan instead? Do you think the US would be chill if another country decided to arm Hawaii,Puerto Rico, Alaska,.. ?
Yes your cope is just so good. Here you have a good Bloomberg article on the validity of numbers: https://archive.md/lxpMa you might learn a thing of two.
property became a replacement for the stock-marked because the Chinese stock market is very volatile and the property market was only going up that’s why some people had like 3 apartments because they could sell it again at a better price. property became a short term investment and was used like stocks that could never go down.
Yes? I'm not saying this did not happen? I'm saying that because the property market bubbled and the CPC didn't want it to get too bad they let it burst early and introduced the "three red lines". Now property prices are affordable again..
okay dude if you think dictatorships are better at transparency that’s not my problem.
Implying that we have the same understanding of "dictatorships"
