It means it's been commoditized, which is useful for obvious reasons

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first commercially-funded (i.e., non-government) nuclear fusion reactor. Notable investors are MiHoYo (developers of Genshin Impact), Nio (Chinese EV company), and Sequoia Capital...

Considering the fact that uranium prices have been shooting up for the past year, the fact that this mine has been sitting idle until last week was seen by Niger as an indicator that the French were snubbing Nigerien uranium (that could have generated jobs, tax revenues, etc.).

Good move by Niger imo

The Chinese companies at the meeting reportedly said the European Commission had asked them for the detailed chemical composition and formulas of battery raw materials, including the exact amount of each major raw material, such as lithium ferrous phosphate, graphite, copper, and aluminum. The EC also required information on suppliers and procurement of raw materials, which are considered the lifeblood of the electric vehicle industry, per the report.

It finally happened? This deal has been in limbo literally since the end of the Cold War

I don't think the mods care lol

They also allow statements from the US State Department, so I think they're just of the opinion that state-funded/state-biased media provides a useful perspective and users should be able to pick that apart when necessary.

Armenia pissing on Putin's face and aligning with the US, only to be shocked when doing so leads to neither party supporting them:

oops is this the consequences of my actions

In 2022 the Karakax County village of Dutar – named for a Uyghur traditional instrument – was renamed Red Flag village.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the $600 billion water megaproject that IIRC is supposed to route the Red Flag river through that village...

Names come with utility and meaning. If a village has a new utility, it typically takes a new name (New Amsterdam -> New York, Ville-Marie -> Montreal). Guardian at its finest.

Didn't China seize firearms from the Filipinos? Talk about bringing knives to a gunfight...

This should be much bigger news. Electricity consumption is typically a good proxy for real GDP/capita (it undercounts services, but otherwise tracks)... But China's GDP numbers already undercount service.

Hey don't forget the CHIPS act fabs that are behind schedule because foreign companies realized that Americans are lazy and don't work hard.

That's what happens on lemmy.world lmao

I can't remember the last time a mod got into an argument on this community - must have been months ago. I remember there being a few teething pains, but those have clearly been resolved.

Edit: I'm not saying I agree with their liberal use of the banhammer (I think it prevents people from seeing the errors in their opinions because being banned creates an antagonistic environment and likely solidifies their positions), but just look at the comment history of mods on this community: they're remarkably quiet.

Let's

Fucking

Go

US self-interest in the region would involve greater investment in Saudi Arabia at the cost of Israel.

The best interests of world peace would involve brokering deals between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Israel is an outsized power in the region solely because of US support and funding. The solution to that is simple.

This community's mods are rather nice imo

They don't argue in the comments and ban people for disagreeing - they serve much more as a moderator than as a user with moderator powers, if that makes sense. Better than some other communities (lemmy.world) for that reason alone.

Don't need to agree with their moderation stance to appreciate them respecting the ideals of separation of concerns. Moderators should not be able to argue so strongly in comments and ban other users because the mod got pissy and lost an argument.

This community needs to deal with all the defederated instances. A lot of the time, people from instances that have defederated with each other cannot see each other's messages on this community despite lemmy.ml being federated with all of them. It's rather absurd.

stop you're making me blush

What article do you want? China's premier said it will happen, so it's going to happen. Not much more news than the headline lmao

Fortunately, China is 30 years behind on natural gas. Suck it, losers.
