@Haute43@PlusLibQ China emits more CO2 'cuz it builds physical products for the whole world. Having said that, the per capita emission of China is far lower than the US or Russia, in fact it's lower than Singapore. Tbf it's far from a 'top emitter' on a per capita basis, not even in the top 20.
@nivayau Yes, with 600 million working population making a salary less than $150 a month, 320 million olds with even less pension and 300 million kids in schools making $0, we can safely say that China barely has ppl making a salary over $150 a month.
@vtchakarova Even today German cars are being produced in China for Chinese customers, which somehow doesn't seem to have 'hollowed out' or 'ended' the Chinese automobile industry.
@TheStalwart We have tons of Chinese experts like Gordon Chang or Gordon Chang Temu Editions in our committees. Their jobs usually depend on how well you could possibly describe China as a threat to everything, otherwise there's no way to persuade the congress into pouring money into the MIC.
@BonnieGlaser Did we send troops to Iran? It's much closer to our EU or Gulf bases ain't it? Or is it more true that had Iran got nukes like China, we would be more willing to send troops to intervene? I think they just see the only logical conclusion. We FA, they FO. Period.
@ELREALMADRIDFC@RoxiR0633390 Japan couldn't have possibly conquered China 'cuz no matter how backwards the Chinese tech or their military was, the spirit of resistance was already shared among hundreds of millions of ordinary Chinese ppl. We spent 20 yrs in Afghanistan btw. Do Taliban speak English?
