nekandro , to worldnews in Biden Is Trying to Buy EVs Time With New Tariffs on China. It Might Not Work

That’s not the worry. The worry is that China is accumulating all of this industrial capacity (like the US pre-WW2) and that car factories really aren’t that different from APC/tank factories.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Putin and Xi pledge a new era and condemn the United States

This feels self-inflicted to me. People forget that, during the Cold War, the Sino-Soviet split was very much a thing. People also forget that post-war Russia wanted nothing more than to integrate into the broader Western (European) economy, that the US’ recognition of Taiwan as the government of China only ended in the 1970s, that the US was single-handedly responsible for propping up the KMT junta for decades, that China’s interests have never left their immediate neighborhood, or that in fact Taiwan-China relations were normalizing under Ma.

It would not be remiss for me to mention that the big Western powers are currently complaining about Georgia’s foreign agent law that would require organizations which receives significant foreign funding to register themselves… And that foreign ministers of European countries are marching in Tbilisi in protest of the law.

Foreign influence, whether that be direct (through funding) or indirect (through ideology, propaganda) is the foundation of many large social movements. That needs to be acknowledged, and it’s perfectly fine. The notion that nations are meant to be entirely independent is one not based in reality: nobody is pretending Canada could align with Russia without getting nuked to high orbit. The world is built on realpolitik, not on lines drawn on a map.

The US has done a great job of fucking Canada, now they’re turning their attention to fucking Mexico, too.

It’s giving Sino-Soviet split.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Philippines’ Marcos ‘horrified’ by Xi-Duterte ‘gentleman’s agreement’ for status quo in disputed waters

Wait, you mean China is the one that’s been consistent on policy and the Philippines was flipflopping?

nekandro , to worldnews in China's representative points out at the ICJ that armed resistance against occupation is enshrined in international law and is not terrorism.

The right to resistance does not make occupation illegal. China is simply saying that Ukraine should be allowed to fight back just as Palestine should be allowed to fight back.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in More than 100 arrested as NYPD cops in riot gear storm Columbia University, clear protests

This is… Not evidence of coordination, but of network effects. The same reason that hockey fans descending into a riot after losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals is not an indication that they organized a riot.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in More than 100 arrested as NYPD cops in riot gear storm Columbia University, clear protests

If anyone wondered what would have happened in the US if the US had a wave of protests similar to Hong Kong… This is what would have happened. In fact, this protest seems better organized, more structured, and a little awe inspiring to be honest

Now the question is if the students can organize en masse and march on the capital to occupy the Capitol.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Police In Berlin, Germany, Arrest Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Camped Outside German Parliament

It’s a perfectly fair comparison.

nekandro , to worldnews in EU to probe ‘flood’ of cheap Chinese electric vehicles, sparking trade war fears

Meanwhile European car manufacturers are terrified of a trade war because their Chinese market sales far outweigh any Chinese EV sales in Europe.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Police In Berlin, Germany, Arrest Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Camped Outside German Parliament

You’ve watched the full Tank Man video, right? The one where the guy gets dragged off by other protesters?

A picture tells a thousand words, but often it’s not the correct thousand words.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Police In Berlin, Germany, Arrest Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Camped Outside German Parliament

This is the exact shit people were saying for the Hong Kong protests, and the exact shit people were saying for the Tiananmen Square protests. Word for fucking word.

nekandro , to worldnews in China’s control over a crucial battery material will make it nearly impossible for any electric-vehicle makers to qualify for Biden's subsidy scheme, South Korea has warned.

A lot of things are production issues rather than technology issues: semiconductors, cars, artillery shells… IBM had a 2nm chip in 2021. Trevithick had an automotive in 1801.

Doesn’t mean it’s easy.

nekandro , to worldnews in Shafik authorizes NYPD to sweep ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment,’ officers in riot gear arrest over 100

Cornell University has temporary suspended me alongside 3 other students/grad workers. They have deliberately targeted students with precarious positions such as visa status. They have given me a grace period but I am no longer permitted on campus. I know they have done this as a means of bringing down the encampment. The university has acted in extremely bad faith and refused to engage in any form of dialogue about our demands. It is clear that they are more concerned with appeasing their Zionist donors and keeping their hands drenched in blood than over the expressed refusal of their students and workers. I’m okay and please don’t stop talking about Palestine.

Lol the OP missed the biggest part: journalists are being locked up for daring to photograph this shit
