What most people don’t understand is that the more you push China with tariffs and sanctions, the more they will become self reliant - especially when it comes to technology. They will not roll over and curl up. Quite the opposite. Plus China sticks to their 5, 10, 15 and 25 year plans. And they have backup plans for their backup plans.
I live in Shanghai and this year 120 new parks are or will be opened. In addition to the new parks, the city plans to add 1,000 hectares of green space and 2,000 hectares of forest. The same goes for many tier 1 and tier 2 cities.

Most of the precious waterfront along the Huangpu river are walk and bike trails for 45 kilometers, filled with different parks and flora.
In the few years I have lived here, the city has turned green. Along most streets are trees to keep cool whilst biking. Most westerns think China is dirty, polluted, desolate place but the amount of new forests that are and have been planted all over the country, is quite astounding.
Telling people to go kill themselves is?
It’s bizar. On other lemmy subs you are free to call for people to get murdered or killed. No problem at all. But a funny picture of a fat woman lying on a skinny man, is absolutely not acceptable.
This lemmy place is fucking weird man.

Thank you for all the detailed information. Indeed it was Sonam Wangchuk and Rahul Gandhi.
Your last paragraph is quite shocking about the current situation in India and the oppression. I was aware of the ongoing religious conflicts between the Hindu and Muslim as highlighted by the Ram Temple saga in 2024.
Corruption is rampant in India as you indicated: 'Corruption in India is a significant issue that affects various sectors, with over 62% of Indians having paid a bribe to a public official at some point. The country ranked 91st out of 182 countries in the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, indicating persistent challenges in tackling public sector corruption.’
Will there be a point the Indian people will have enough of the oppression, corruption and revolt or is this not in the DNA of the people?
In my humble opinion, India should be on the same path as China in regards to lifting people out of poverty, social security, technology, infrastructure but it seems like India is stuck in some dichotomy.
Thanks but this still doesn’t explain the high ranking figure on hunger strike, nor the arrest of the opposition leader.
There must be more to this story for these incidents to occur. Especially the arrest of the opposition leader sounds very… Russian or authoritarian?
You’re welcome. You should also check out the other major car brands like Xpeng, BYD (the largest EV car maker in the world) , Li, Nio, Geely (who owns Volvo and Polestar)
Yes. You can get cheap EV’s here for this price, like the BYD seagull. But most standard EV’s like a sedan or SUV start more around the 200000 RMB mark or 30.000 US$.
Like the Xiaomi SU7 that the Ford CEO is driving, is around the US$45.000. But it’s an amazing car. There is nothing in the US or Europe that can compare. I personally prefer the Xiaomi YU7.
Last month I was in Europe and rented an Audi A3 sport, and that didn’t even have rear view cameras or GPS!! The newest Maestro (car brand from Huawei), has an espresso machine built in.
Read the interview with the Ford CEO. Who drives a Xiaomi SU7, imported from China and he refuses to give it up.
It is the arrogance of car makers all over the world. No one is matching the innovation of the Chinese car makers. This includes European giants like Volkswagen and BMW who are suffering in China.

Because of the fact that America is a Christian nation where White Jesus was born.
I would not know as I could not read the reviews.
On a serious note, I stopped watching after 20 minutes and switched to Hungry hungry. Also shit but less shit.
To run a foreign country that you illegally invaded and removed the legally elected head of government? Sure that is all just perfectly fine.
If only this could happen to the US, the world would be a much better place.
I don’t know what apps you are using but besides my payment apps and Google play store, I have no other apps that require login if I just want to check out some reviews or basic information. TripAdvisor doesn’t need a login, booking.com doesn’t need a login to just to read reviews. Hell even Amazon itself doesn’t require a login if I want to read some book reviews.
And I prefer an app because I can control the permissions instead of a website littered with cookies and trackers.
They don’t seem to have an app. I prefer a good app over a website.
If you have a Dutch shelf toilet, it’s there in all splendor.
What about your shit after lunch?
Not just America. It’s a trend worldwide thanks to the abundance of AI slop taking over any ‘social network’.
Not trying to get too political but Yes, they should not sell to the US.
The US, together with the Trump vasal Mark Rutte, stopped the sale of ASML chip machines to China. They would be well in their right not to sell to the US.
Actually if you look at the export figures, China is exporting more after all the tariffs, and bans and restrictions to anywhere else outside of the US. They don’t care about the US. Again this is the backup of a plan already implemented.
That is also why China is heavily investing in Africa. Not so much the Middle East, where the US is aiming for because of oil. China is more interested in rare minerals and Africa could be a place where these could be found.
So instead of destroying infrastructure in the Middle East, China is building infrastructure in Africa. And creating goodwill by sending a large medical ship for humanitarian purposes. Of course all the thoughts behind this are political
