Some insight here: one of the key factors in Chinese cultural identity is the family unit. Whereas the American family unit is limited to yourself, your spouse, and your potential children, the Chinese family unit stretches further back to your parents/grandparents. There’s a much stronger pressure to have and raise children, which impacts the cultural perception of LGBT rights.

The US is increasing it’s primary energy production from fossil fuel sources (by 40% since 2010) and they’re decreasing total emissions? Sure…

How would you do HVDC to Japan? Underwater lines?

Space shuttles are also obscenely expensive

Wok, vegetable cleaver, bidet. The world is your oyster.

But but but

Colonial apartheid settler rights are human rights

Don’t you have to, y’know, cross the Rockies for that?

That sounds insanely expensive.

Quebec City to Windsor? What’s the other line?

The IDF doesn’t even speak Arabic well.

Absolument. I did a deeper dive of US “emissions” here: https://hexbear.net/comment/4246041

In short, the US significantly under reports their emissions from natural gas because they don’t sufficiently consider the short-term impact of methane or the degree of methane leakage occuring.

Literally the US Army has published videos that claim they were involved in the Tiananmen protests.

It’s public on Lemmy. I get the vibe OP didn’t know lol…

Dude’s never been called yellow and it shows. Fuck off.

Looking at a map of China, I always have a bit of appreciation for how well they’ve integrated the indigenous names of all the cities.

For example, Urumqi wasn’t always known as Urumqi: under Qing rule, it was relabeled as Dihua, a name it held until the CPC took power.

A little bit of contrast to the Russian approach and a huge contrast to the American/British approach of just renaming everything.

Not sure why $oro$ is marked as racism when it specifically refers to one person and has “nothing to do” with that person’s race.

Really makes you think.

Two party state baby

Compare progress made in the BRI to prgress made on California HSR (authority established 1996)… And people wonder why the BRI is an appealing prospect?

US GDP grows and manufacturing shrinks. Really makes you wonder.

I guess that’s why China’s shifted to reporting household disposable income lol

Most proper Chinese restaurants should serve it as a tea option. It so good.
