The word China is in fact banned in China

Thank you for putting together a serious and well thought out response. I hope they read the linked post in full.

Smh the hexbearianistites can't catch a break

Hexbear is full of liberals too

Hexbear has been around for like 3 years, and is very active

The Maoist uprising against the landowners was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, resulting in an almost completely equal redistribution of land among peasants

Okay. I'm not trying to start that discussion here, so I'm not sure what you are on about

Bruh, that's not a "this is how you should think" statement to their users. It was directed towards people from outside hexbear wandering in. Also, you can literally see people discussing the contents of the Russia Ukraine statement in the comments.

The primary purpose of the whole post though was to direct hexbear users to the rules of other instances so they would be nice.

You can see in the comments people are disagreeing with aspects of that statement and whether or not it is useful at all. People discussing a complex geopolitical situation isn't brainwashing. Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean they are mindless brainwashed bots

Literally 1894

There is a specter haunting lemmy

Lmao what? They are telling their users to be nice to others and not break the rules of other instances

We'll have to see what happens over the next few years, he may not even be in consideration for the position. He was an odd pick imo. I thought Xi would leave Li Keqiang there, but from what I understand they did not get along. The west liked Li Keqiang too.

I think Li Qiang was likely chosen to signal to the west that China would welcome their investments much to the chagrin of the US who has been trying to pry it away via sanctions and the continuing trade war. In that sense he was a good choice for his current position. The more the west spends in developing China the better for them.

I doubt he's China's gorby though, as the situation in the two countries are very different.

No problem, yeah, every once in a while there is another researcher who is claimed to be a "Chinese Spy", though it has seemingly slowed down after multiple cases turned out false. Just another part of the latest red scare.

The per capita electricity consumption will likely increase in the coming years, but compared to developed nations it is still low. Developing storage tech will be important for everyone as wind and solar are so weather dependent. Hope they figure it out, China's development of solar production has already been a boon to cheaper solar panels in the world.

I really hope so, but as in China, it will require massive state funding and direction that I'm just not sure the US is willing to commit to. The US makes so much money from fossil fuel it would require taking a hatchet to a part of the economy that pays lobbyists and politicians handsomely.

You can look up Trump's China Initiative, it's technically "ended" but seeing as they have arrested researchers since I think it's "ended" in the way Biden has ended other trump programs. I'm on my phone, but here are some things to look at:
