Here's a fun fact: 85% of China's government spending is by local governments (provincial and below). China's federal support for EVs has been mostly limited to reducing taxes and fees on EV manufacturing (most notably, removing the consumption tax that is charged on automobiles).

If removing tax barriers is a government subsidy, I guess the EU claim has some water. Otherwise, the EU will be stuck whack-a-moling particular provinces for their economic incentives (and, of course, ignoring the billions that Tesla has received).

And yet it points to the exact statement being made with little extra commentary.

Let's just be clear, your position is that citing the Israeli Ambassador to the UN is Russian propaganda that's anti-Israel?

Odd how one side consistently supports the prosecution of journalists despite nominally calling for freedom of speech and journalistic protections.

Perhaps more interesting is the obscene amount of taxpayer support the royal family gained in this mess.

Literally, literally Hamas.

Agreed.

Canada has been trying to expand Arab and Iranian immigration. There are currently also 200 thousand Iranian Canadians in the country.

Uncritical support to Chile in its fight against Israeli genocide

A US operation halfway around the planet where no civilian casualties have taken place.

Defense.

I guess the missiles and drones launched at Israel were just part of a special military operation then, my bad.

Military targets like Sanaa's international airport? To deter Ansarallah launching... Missiles and boats?

Either US CENTCOM is dumber than I thought, or it's just a cover to continue the Saudi genocide of Yemen.

Not sure what Russia's end game is, since you'd think striking parts of Ukraine's MIC during the day would be more damaging to the war effort.

Yes, because Ansarallah is obviously launching missiles and boats from the international civilian airport.

The DPP won the presidentship, but I can't help but feel like they had higher expectations. Under Tsai, they had a majority in the Yuan.

A crack formed on the outermost of 4 layers. It's within spec but should've been caught on inspection. This is a bad look for ANA's inspection team (which might be Boeing? I'm not sure), but not a manufacturing defect afaik.

So... The KMT won the most seats, but the DPP won the presidentship? Truly, the most efficient system of government is a FPTP system.

This is like the Canadian NDP/Liberal split that leads to the Conservatives somehow forming government despite having no support in the key urban centers (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver).

Amazon isn't at war with Israel. Ansarallah IS, and they're perfectly within their rights to enforce a blockade.

Just like how Israel "only targeted valid military targets," right? Yeah...

A blockade of a state you are at war with is... acceptable under international law.

Unfortunately for you, international law supercedes your own interpretation of morality.
