This article appeared in my feed just above another article about how China has the world's first operational thorium reactor. Meanwhile, the US is about to fight a civil war over whether vaccination causes measles and stripping away the last of our social programs in order to get our wealthiest people another 2% subsidy.

China and Russia worked very hard to get these rich stupid people in power.
It really started in 2016 when US security agencies released a joint report showing Russia was spreading misinformation to help Trump win the election.
Surprisingly, the "liberal tears compilations" and "something about an email server people didn't understand wasn't actually illegal" actually worked and drowned out the warnings from our security agencies.
I don't think China will be any better of a world leader tbh.
I see humanity's future as a boot stepping on a human face forever, unless humanity globally rejects kings, oligarchs, and dictators.
Don't forget the genius DNC folk, including HRC thought a pied piper strategy of boosting the circus peanut was a good idea.
If the Russians and Chinese did anything it was just capitalizing on an unforced error by the hubris of the centrist. One again, bernie would have won, but that was more distasteful to the ruling class than fascism.
Not my future, I will try to die in a way that even an omnipotent AI can't bring back.
Gonna make sure to bring as many of those fuckers with me as possible.
Fuck the idiotic Americans that won't bother to immunize, never mind understanding science as a whole.
Yeah... At best click baity as fuck, at worst a complete scam.
Any time there is a 10x or more in a headline you are 10x or more likely to be right by calling it BS.
China scientists
So, Chinese scientists?
Chientists
(acts confused in French)
I think it's a slightly different connotation. "China scientists" infers scientists residing in China while not presuming their ethnicity, while "Chinese scientists" implies their ethnicity but not their location.
You literally never hear "America scientists" even if some of them might be from another country. Same with every single other country I can think of, except China.
US scientists works in the same way.
Probably because is an ethnicity and nationality. There are ethnic Chinese people all over the world and a few countries and regions are made of a majority of ethnic Chinese but are not related to China. Calling them the same thing is playing into the PRC's "all ethnic Chinese pledge their allegiance to China" nonsense.
Isreal like that game of pretend. They believe anti zionist Jews are traitors.
Real talk, why is discussion around people and subjects in China so fucking weird?
If it's not referring to the entire population when it only applies to the government or a subset of them as a global "the Chinese" or doing silly shit like "China scientists" everyone's grammatical skills suddenly tank when even broaching a topic even tangential to the PRC.
No, it's people who study fine tableware.
Seriously, for me a "China scientist" is someone doing research on China, like a space scientist would do research on astronomy and similar. But I'm not a native English speaker, so, idk
Whenever they say X whatever times, I doubt it right away, because they always interpret the statistics in the dumbest ways possible. You have a solar panel that is 28% efficient. There is no way it can be 20x times as efficient, that's just clickbait.
trustworthiness = 1/(claimed improvement)
Yeah, but endurance. and accuracy. and longevity. How about those?
And price and maye write more than 1 single bit
You just fucking wait. Trump is bringing manufacturing to the US. And when that plant opens someday you'll be so sorry you doubted.
I'm sure the foxconn plant in Wisconsin will fire up ANY DAY NOW! drums fingers
I talked to like 50 people today and all of the people said they were starting manufacturing plants tomorrow and they'll be fully functional Tuesday around 3:15.
I started mine earlier and I've already done manufacturing 3 times today. It's really easy. By this time tomorrow I'll have a couple more and they'll all be winning manufacturing.
Tariffs gave me the ability to finally believe in myself. Tariffs have increased my stamina in bed, given me a full head of hair again, and since I started manufacturing plant yesterday I've dropped 50 pounds.
It's like temu. 100x discount.
