regul , to Technology in China starts smartphone inspections to boost 'anti-espionage efforts', raising fears among expatriates and foreign business people about arbitrary enforcement

For context: In the US, CBP can search your phone without a warrant if you live within 100 miles of a border or coast (2/3rds of the population).

regul , to Technology in China's state subsidies in green technologies significantly higher than those in EU and OECD countries, distorting competition, researchers say

The researchers conclude that the EU should use its strong bargaining power due to the single market to induce the Chinese government to abandon the most harmful subsidies.

This is their advice? Make the technology for the green transition more expensive rather than enact your own subsidies?

Capitalists are going to burn this planet.

Shouldn't there be gray in the picture above?

regul , to Fuck Cars in The NYTimes is once again trashing the most promising mobility innovation of the 21st century

There will always be people who do not act with regard to the safety of others. I would rather those people be on bikes than in cars.

I'm not discussing the morality of this action in a vacuum. I'm discussing it in comparison to the same person behaving equally as unsafely in a car.

And yet had you collided, it's very unlikely that anyone would have died.

Those three scenarios you mentioned are all only dangerous because of cars.

regul , to Technology in History says tariffs rarely work, but U.S. President Biden’s 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs could defy the trend, researcher says

We won't be abandoning the tropics. The people who live there will be. And, based on current prevailing attitudes of temperate democracies, those fleeing the uninhabitable zones will be told to simply pound sand. It will be genocide by omission.

The democracy I live under now keeps ignoring or delaying action on climate change in favor of things that are less important than the comfortable survival of our species. If it's trying to convince me it's worth saving it's doing a bad job.

My ideological concerns are secondary to my ecological concerns.

China's solar panel industry isn't a monopoly, much like their auto industry.

The internal competition is part of the reason both are so cheap.

I'm asking you what you think would be different if China was the largest global superpower?

If this is some great fear we're all supposed to have to the point that we'll forestall making progress on decarbonizing then it should be easy to clearly articulate what we're afraid of happening.

What's there to defend? We need more solar panels. The cheaper they are the better.

See above where I said I do not give a shit about how many jobs are preserved on my rapidly warming planet.

The Opium Wars involved armed conflict on Chinese soil. That's the sort of thing nukes deter.

If you'll notice he also increased tariffs on solar panels at the same time.
