Who would arrest them? Dems and gop both have spent a century placing nearly all government power with scotus and the executive. The judicial isnt going to start drafting an army of armed officers of the court, so that just means the executive is going to continue to use all of the power both parties decided to give it.

Ha, you still think serious action will make the world better.

The US is shit at fighting guerilla armies despite exclusively doing so for the last 60 years. You make the mistake of invading Mexico, shit on the US side starts blowing up. Mexico won’t assist the US, and if they start really sanctioning the US that’s pretty much it for motor vehicles in the military. If China takes the opportunity to then sanction the US that’s it for military drones and quite a lot of the air force.

Logistics and manufacturing wins engagements and wars, and other countries control both in the US.

He explicitly supports Israel and has stated one of his goals is to make Ukraine a larger Israel.

That requires genocide, as all ethnostates do.

Every time Republicans have held the absolute minority in government, Dems were hamstrung and couldn’t pass any progressive legislation.

Somehow the reverse isn’t true.

Therefore Dems don’t dislike what trump is doing. What can be done when the uniparty reveals itself as it has, with Dems rubber-stamping anything Trump does?

Well we’re on .world. so that can’t be discussed per instance rules.

The next six months is going to be terribly surprising and scary for your racist ass.

Go back to any month in any year in the last thirty. You’ll find the same type of opinion pieces from the same people. Despite this China has raised the most people out of poverty in all of history, and has matched the US’ s GDP.

Pointless ‘china is really failing this time despite us being wrong the last 2000 times’ articles prove absolutely nothing. Because China isn’t trying to be profitable. They are not an oligarchy like euro nations. They are not a kakistocracy like the US. Their economy is fundamentally different.

How is eliminating failed management and ensuring the money held in the bank covering it up?

Do you not know how the economy works in China? Over 60% of the economy is public sector, while some of that is just state investment, some is also failed private sector businesses that still would serve a purpose without profit motive.

It would be ridiculously cruel to allow a bank to fail while it still holds the savings of ordinary citizens. And it would be ludicrously stupid to bail out failed companies and just allow them to continue functioning as they had. So you buy them, change the mission, replace the management, everyone except the rich fucks win

China’s private real estate market represents less than a third of all real estate and is less than a tenth of the economy.

Independence from fascist demands is possibly the best reason to temporarily hurt your economy. It’s chopping off a gangrenous finger to save your arm.

The image says 16.7 for Taipei, not 6.7. neither my comment nor the image contains a 6.7.

Now you can argue all western and Eastern sources are undercounting nk and China, that’s why I didn’t even include nk given the natural mistrust of information from a country with less than 10k tourists a year; but any search of this info online shows the same trend: Chinese nationals dont commit suicide as often as their oppressed neighbors.

What was that again?

Except, you know, the secret service already let one shooter try.

Not a lie, neither the US or EU can compare, https://e360.yale.edu/features/china-renewable-energy

So clearly they’re not replacing the capacity with renewables. Or they’re actively reducing their total energy capacity. That’s also an explanation for those numbers.

But hey, anything to excuse the West deciding on lng for their power.

And yet they’re not replacing them with green energy. Seems like they’re not doing much at all.

It is more than literally every other country is doing, is my retort to that point. That and unlike western governments, they actually accomplish their goals.

Everyone could be doing more, China is doing the most. If the US especially didn’t spend the last century and a half ignoring climate change while most of the world was still pre industrial agricultural societies, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

And they’re easier to set up securely than either renewable or the nuclear plants they’ll likely later become.

Yes, it’d be great if they weren’t sanctioned every other week and threatened with war and could dedicate all of their resources to leap frogging dirty tech… But that’s not the world we live in, the world we live in has people that are rising in quality of life and expecting all the benefits. And they simply have more people than the US and Europe combined while only having the GDP of just the US.

It’s not ideal, they’ve admitted as such, but it’s a necessary step that all western nations took even when better options were on the table, it’s unfair to criticize China when they’re also producing more green energy than the rest of the world.

Except China operates and so far has executed multi year long plans that have been incredibly successful. On top of this they’re the reason green energy is cheap at all, given they’re the world’s producer.

And yet they own large farms that are tax free that they can earn money off of. The few low industrialized parts (currently representing less than 200 million) don’t have schools or massive infrastructure, but also have guarantees their way of life and making money is secure until they do have access to those things. And Xinjiang alone shows it’s not an empty promise; going from one of those regions you’re referring to, to a region that rivals Vietnam or Malaysia by itself.

Yeah, mao fucked up, like the US fucked up during its great famine, sorry dust bowl. And then no famine ever again.

To your second point, of course you can’t leave if you’re a criminal (every nation on earth has this policy) or in severe debt to the government (most nations have this policy), but you can leave under pretty much any other circumstances. I didn’t click your link but even you wouldn’t be spreading the conspiracy theory of secret global police that kidnap random yellow people for the cpc, right?

To your third point, coal plants and any other steam generators are easy to convert over to each other once built. A nuclear plant and a coal plant share 70% of their equipment. Building one lays the foundation for the other. If you need quick base load expansion, you can’t really beat coal or diesel, and continually expanding the quality of life for 1.4 billion people requires constant base load expansion… Even better if it can later be converted into near infinite power sources like nuclear.
