Yeah honestly I don't really understand why Ukraine diverted forces to Kursk. They were dug into strong positions in Donetsk... Positions they've since had to give up as the Russian advance picks up pace.

Maybe Syrskyi saw the writing on the wall and went for a hail mary?

To get an idea of margins:

The BYD Seagull sells under the Dolphin Mini name in South America. The Seagull (see specs) is the BYD's cheapest electric car launched in April last year. Its price range initially lay between 78,800 – 95,800 yuan (10,850 – 13,200 USD)

Isn't Taiwan the country that literally jails political opponents?

Manufacturing labour costs were $8.31 per hour in China last year, compared with less than $3 in places such as India, Thailand and Vietnam. - The Economist

Anyway, manufacturing in China is a low-skill role that employs a huge proportion of the market. In terms of social/cultural value, its closest parallel in the US would be the retail services sector.

I too love to jail my political competitors after the they successfully split the vote from my real political rival (the KMT) in the last election. A bastion of democracy in East Asia.

The rapid growth in power generation from solar shows that the solar capacity boom is delivering new electricity supplies at a scale sufficient to cover much of China’s demand growth.

This reinforces the view that China’s CO2 emissions are in a period of structural decline.

Funny how your entire argument is invalidated by their previous article today:

China’s property bender has led to long, tough hangover: economist Mao Zhenhua

Honestly this is probably the only way to actually get those resources developed at this point.

Sinopec and Rosneft are absolute beasts in scaling O&G. Given China's specific USD reserve issues right now, it might make sense to route US assets into developing Sinopec assets abroad.

IIRC China does not yet see an easy way to solve the whole "in the winter the sun shines less" problem... So here we are.

The proportion of China's electricity produced from fossil fuels (56%) is now lower than it is in the US (60%). What an absolutely MONSTROUS performance.
