The open secret is that China's EV subsidies are designed to keep sales within the country, because otherwise Chinese EV companies could make obscenely higher margins selling overseas.

The BYD Seagull ($9700 in China) is being sold as the BYD Dolphin Mini in Mexico... For $21000.

The BYD Seal U (€19400 in China) is being sold in Germany for €41990.

Fortunately, China is 30 years behind on natural gas. Suck it, losers.

Why does it matter if US green manufacturing is quashed? You could've said the same thing for US dominance in the combustion car industry starting from Ford, for US dominance in the tech industry for decades, for US dominance in the media industry...

Why is green energy somehow different? Cheap Chinese solar panels and EVs decrease cost of living for Americans. They decrease inflation. The only con is that they prevent more jobs from being created in green manufacturing in the US... But even then, that's only because the US doesn't let Chinese companies in.

Are you that much of a corporate apologist that you would rather people starve in the name of corporate profits than buy Chinese goods?

Have you sat in a Chinese EV? They put US and European one to shame.

Chinese solar panels used to not be great, but today they're easily competitive with the best that US and European vendors have to offer but at a fraction of the cost.

It's absolutely deplorable that the Canadian government has been silent. A Canadian citizen, working for humanitarian relief, killed by what amounts to an extrajudicial assassination.

By locking up the rich, seizing their wealth, and using SOEs to take over incomplete projects for pennies.

The article suggests that the IDF suppressed Hamas' capabilities, but if you look at the timeline Hamas rocket firings basically ceased when SA filed with the ICJ (except for new years, for obvious reasons). Following the ICJ ruling (and Israel's blatant disregard of it), Hamas has decided to continue firing rockets.

Chinese travelers are opting to travel domestically or regionally instead of taking long-haul international flights. Domestic flight volume has skyrocketed, domestic HSR volume has exceeded pre-pandemic levels, and that's come at the cost of international travel.

Could we have an actual source that isn't Igor Sushko and "Russian telegram channels?"

Why was the EU stockpiling so many while Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America were reliant on the Sinovac/Sinopharm/CanSino vaccines?

‘At that point, it was clear to me that our role is to be a human shield between our forces that arrived and them (Hamas),’ says Hadas Dagan

"I will never forget the children's screams" Dagan said, with tears falling down her face, as she described the moment of the twins' death.
