Americans are so funny. Everything is obviously the fault of North Korea.

Video appears to show the Israeli army shot 3 Palestinians, killing 1, without provocation (apnews.com)

Security camera video from a West Bank village shows a young man standing in a central square when he is suddenly shot and drops to the ground. Two others rushing to his aid are also hit, leaving a 17-year-old dead, moments before Israeli military jeeps roll in....

They were brown, that was all the provocation needed.

nekandro ,

Hell yeah, spread more Israeli propaganda!

This site is going to shit.

nekandro OP ,

At this point I’m convinced US intelligence has no grasp on what’s going on in China and their “sources” are making shit up and laughing.

Apparently, China’s rocket force is taking the solid fuel from the missiles to make hot pot and replacing it with water because there wasn’t enough money to buy butane.

Supposedly, the chunks of solid fuel were able to burn at a consistent rate in open air despite burn rate of solid fuels being dependent on surface area and pressure.

Somewhat relevant since they form 2 of the 10 BRICS countries and China is often pretty eager to jump onto non-US systems for obvious reasons.

nekandro ,

Lol that’s definitely one way to sail through the Red Sea without getting attacked.

nekandro ,

Who in their right mind would still make the decision to ship to Israel? It’s dangerous, expensive, and Israel isn’t that large of an economy in the first place.

China doesn’t need to subsidize the entire supply chain because the reason Chinese EVs are so cheap is literally hyper-capitalism. China has had an immensely competitive EV market for years, and they’re been getting into price wars without government intervention. That’s forced innovation at a pace that Tesla cannot match alone because they have no need to compete at such a pace. Here’s a list of national EV subsidies and their status:

  1. In 2022, the 12600RMB consumer incentive to buy a BEV vehicle was ended. This is rather similar to Biden’s EV tax credit.
  2. China has waived the consumption tax for the EV market, which is a tax designed to target environmentally-unfriendly products. The consumption tax is commonly applied to automobiles, but they’re being explicitly waived for the EV market for what is hopefully an obvious reason.
  3. Currently, the tax-free allowance for an EV (the portion of an EV purchase that is not charged VAT) is 30000RMB (@13% VAT, = 3900RMB). This subsidy is being reduced in 2025 and phased out entirely in 2027. This is also rather similar to Biden’s EV tax credit.
  4. Costs of EV charging/battery switching on the grid are borne by the government because the government manages electricity on the supply-side, including finding producers and managing distribution. This is not unusual of crown corporations in other countries.

While there are provincial incentives for companies to set up shop in one province over another, they’re smaller scale, not received support at the national level, and not unique to China (see: subsidies to Tesla for their production and to Amazon for their HQ2). The most unique element of China’s subsidy regime is the elimination of excess consumption tax in the EV market, which has created a huge marginal advantage for developing EVs over developing ICE automobiles. Importantly, that subsidy is simply reducing the excess tax charged on automobile manufacturing over that charged on typical consumption.

nekandro ,

I’m telling you, those are literally what the subsidies are. None of this is private or confidential. The lack of consumption tax is the single greatest supply side subsidy.

nekandro OP ,

That would suggest that he knows what Meychelles is

Only some? Fuck…

There are estimates that spread of disease will kill something like a quarter of the Gazan population by year’s end.

Putin’s free Russian classes are taking off in Africa (www.semafor.com)

NAIROBI — Russia has recruited hundreds of young Africans to its Russian language and cultural programs across the continent over the past year as the spearhead of a wider push by the Kremlin to use education to deepen its ties with everyday citizens and governments....

nekandro ,

Colonization by… Offering free language classes?

nekandro ,

This is the same Wagner that was dispanded after Putin assassinated Prigo with the classic “grenade in the hand” trick?

The same assassination trick that was used on Zaluzhny’s aide by an unknown source?

nekandro ,

I think the US has been blocking raids with personnel, so this is the alternative.

nekandro ,

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

nekandro ,

Surely this time Ukraine will gain a foothold in Krynki?

This, after expending thousands of Ukraine’s most well-trained troops. Huzzah?

nekandro ,

I wonder who wanted to throw India a PR nightmare this time?

nekandro OP ,

Don’t think engine is bottleneck on J-31 production tbh

Topics Suppressed in China Are Underrepresented on TikTok, Study Says (www.nytimes.com)

The report, from the Network Contagion Research Institute at Rutgers University, could raise new concerns about whether Beijing influences the content on the popular video app. Representative Josh Gottheimer, Democrat of New Jersey, said the report showed that TikTok was “a tool to brazenly spread disinformation and suppress...

Topics suppressed in the US are underrepresented on Reddit

See? I too can make obvious statements.

nekandro ,

Ah yes, the “real people” like the disproportionate number of Reddit users at Eglin AFB.

nekandro ,

So your argument is that people who’s livelihood depends entirely on the US government were spamming Reddit, but that they were obviously doing it entirely of their own volition and neither intentionally nor unintentionally spreading propaganda?

Interesting position.

Moussavi was killed near Damascus 12/25

al-Rouri was killed in Beirut 01/02

Soleimani’s memorial was attacked 01/03

Gee I sure wonder who could be responsible…

nekandro ,

I’m not saying it’s Mossad, but it’s probably Mossad. There are much easier targets than the memorial for Qassem Suleimani: this is sending a message to Iran.
