  • Chinese company, Gezhouba Group Cement Co., Ltd., has signed an agreement worth $220 million to build a cement plant in the Almaty region. In addition, China is mulling a 110 million-euro investment in a major hospital project. 

    Cement and hospitals, classically known as things used to boost EV consumption

  • Cars area huge export market and are the foundation of a number of economies (Germany, Japan, and soon China).

    They bring prosperity to the countries that manufacture them.

    Also, frankly, a lot of Central Asia is really sparsely populated. Public infrastructure requires a certain density.

  • Labour in China is expensive, so instead of waiting for governments to act Chinese companies are just directly stepping in and lifting neighbouring economies' infrastructure up enough to offshore production lol

  • The first session of the 118th Congress was one of the least productive in the body’s history. Only 22 bills were signed into law this year by the president — by far the lowest total since at least 1993, the first year for which the National Archives have data. 

    Despite the slow year, members nonetheless found time to introduce an abundance of bills relating to the threat of China, which was the focus of hearings in committees ranging from Financial Services to the Judiciary committee, and of legislation concerning everything from fentanyl distribution to TikTok.

    In 2023, members introduced 616 pieces of legislation that contain a variation of the word “China” — more than 3.5 for every day that Congress was in session on average.

  • To understand the sheer scale of a 10GW solar project:

    The Three Gorges Dam has a capacity of 22.5GW. America's newest nuclear reactor has a capacity of 1.2GW. In total, America has 110GW of solar capacity installed.

  • Natural gas is a dirty fucking lie. Leaked methane from natural gas extraction and transportation is orders of magnitude worse for the environment than carbon dioxide in the short term (20-year to 100-year horizon).

    It's technically better past that, but by that point we'll all be dead or underwater anyway.

  • In your article:

    Ayatollah Khamenei also mentioned the issue of housework, saying, “The perception that housework is a woman’s duty is absolutely incorrect and the tasks within a family should be undertaken with a mutual understanding from both sides.”

    What is your complaint?
