  • ‘Everyone wants to come to China now’: Chinese universities draw more foreign students beyond Western countries

    Jump

  • That's part of so-called "Chinamaxxing" that started on Tiktok some time ago and has now arrived to other social media platforms, spread by influencers and other propagandists like OP.

    As one article by the BBC says,

    One of the most influential figures behind the Chinamaxxing meme is Sherry Zhu, a Chinese-American TikTok content creator who regularly shares traditional wellness tips with her "Chinese baddies".

    "Tomorrow you're turning Chinese," she tells her 740,000 TikTok followers. "And I know that sounds intimidating, but there is no point in fighting it now."

  • Nations meet to discuss fossil fuel exit as Iran war drives up prices

  • The group of 60 states that discuss the fossil fuel phase out as described in the linked article formed during the latest COP last year in Brazil as the majority of governments refused to commit to an end of fossil fuels. China and the US, both among the world's largest polluters in total as well as per capita, are among these countries. They have no interest in a fossil fuel phase out.

    The group of 60 states that discuss the fossil fuel phase out as described in the linked article formed during the latest COP last year in Brazil as the majority of governments refused to commit to an end of fossil fuels. China and the US were among these countries.

    US, oil producing countries, Europe are generally a lot worse than China on a per capita consumption basis.

    If we look at the CO₂ emissions per capita of the world’s top 30 economies by GDP, China sits at number 9 with 8.7 tons per year and person (in 2024). This is more than double the global average and more than any European country except Russia.

    China's climate action's are also highly insufficient, including against the country's fair share regarding its National Determined Contributions (NDCs). It's not that Europe is on track to achieve the Paris goals, but it's much better than China.

    Despite a rise in renewable energy investments, coal has re-emerged as an ongoing force in China’s power system in recent years for a variety of reasons, and this is also clearly embedded in Beijing’s recently released new 15th Five-Year Plan.

    It's time that Europe revives its own renewable energy industry. Environmental laws regarding production and consumption are much stronger in Europe than in China, and so it is better for Europe from a security point of view.

    Kremlin-linked Matryoshka bots spread disinfo about “Ukrainian trail” in Trump assassination attempt at White House Correspondents Dinner

  • “One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.”

  • Nations meet to discuss fossil fuel exit as Iran war drives up prices

    Jump

  • The title is a bit misleading as there are only around 60 democratic states that meet to discuss fossil fuel exit. The majority of governments, including the the world's biggest polluters, are missing, particularly China and the US.

  • Yes, I wouldn't say the Kremlin 'did' it, but they heavily influenced it and spread propaganda imo.

  • [Opinion] China Reinvigorates Its Taiwan Propaganda through Energy Narratives

  • Done, although I think this is not an opinion here as the researchers provide strong evidence for this. It's a good example how the Chinese government is using a blend of false and biased news to fabricate fiction presented as 'news' ...

  • Taiwan president cancels trip after African countries revoke flight permits

  • China praises countries that blocked Taiwan overflight to Africa

    At a ​regular news conference in Beijing, a spokesperson for China's Taiwan ​Affairs Office expressed appreciation ​for the position [of some countries to revoke flight permits]. Taiwan ​... accused China of pressing ​the ⁠Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar to revoke permission for ⁠his ​aircraft to fly ​over their territories.

  • Another win for "human rights law".

    Jump

  • To make things worse: according to a freedom of information request filed in 2020 with all 32 councils in London, as well as 20 other major UK cities, about two-thirds of public cameras are made by two Chinese companies (Hikvision and Dahua) that are both accused of links to the repression minority groups in China, including allegations of forced sterilisation, slave labour and mass internment.

    This will expose ordinary citizens to a foreign dictatorial regime, including those who fled from China and other countries to the UK to escape repression.

  • The KMT is not a 'status-quo party' but a branch of the Chinese Communist Party parroting CCP propaganda as so many so-called 'tankies' here do, too.

  • In tight global market, well-positioned China resells record LNG volumes

  • Most analysts predicted this as a realistic scenario weeks ago due to Beijing’s stock pile, but they also said that China will be in trouble soon if and when the war persists as most of the country’s energy comes from Venezuela and the Middle East.
