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

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.

naturalgasbad OP ,

First human trial for a treatment strategy passed (notably, we know that placebo treatments for diabetes fail). This more than passes the bar to justify further large-scale human trials and, clinically, is a very strong indicator of success.

What, is it not a cure until it's available to the public?

Economic coercion, like:

the embargo on Cuba?

legislation to raise EV tariffs by 100% and block semiconductor exports?

sanctions on India?

sanctions on Pakistan?

tell me more about this "economic coercion", because it seems like we're talking to an expert in the matter.

Is this supposed to be a response to the propaganda leaflets that got dropped on North Korea?

I wasn't aware that had happened recently, but I know it was a thing in the past.

Lmao a big problem is that a lot of these influencers aren't actually wealthy. They can't actually afford their lifestyles, and the Chinese government has been trying to control "fake Internet personas" for a while.

China views social media as an extension of in-person relationships rather than it's own independent entity.

Ooo "mysterious"

Who the fuck cares? Every major space power does weird shit in space.

Tax dollars at work everyone

There's domes everywhere, not really sure what The Guardian is talking about

China's property glut is being eaten up by the rural-urban migration. It's not a static demand market.

The old Chinese style building was there until the end of the Qing Dynasty or whatever

naturalgasbad ,

No, there's many many Hui Arabic-style mosques.

Maybe The Guardian doesn't know about them and doesn't consider them "major", but that sounds like The Guardian's problem.

shh The Guardian had a slow news day ok

sigh

China is heading towards peak coal demand, national association says

China Coal Group Says Peak Demand Imminent as Clean Power Grows

In a major turning point for the world, China’s fossil fuel use is projected to decline starting in 2025.

Blaming an increase in the rate of carbon increases on China's coal consumption seems rather incongruent with the facts. Are we all choosing to ignore the second-order effects of methane emissions from natural gas? Methane does break down back to CO2, after all, but while it's still methane it's a substantially more potent greenhouse gas.

Fuck. Natural. Gas.

Supercritical coal reactors are absolutely used to reduce CO2 emissions per unit coal, what do you mean?

Higher efficiency -> less losses from heat/etc -> fewer emissions
