China

China is second rate and will soon find their plans of global dominance in the tank as the Golden Age of the USA takes root.

:smiley:

Let’s wait to see that happen. I’m sure it’ll just take a few more tariffs. lol.

Yeah, just a few more tariffs on steel. 25% more please.

lol. That will surely bring down the price of eggs.

Trumpets are not clever.

China is first class, it’s just that it is so disproportionate.
Leading technology and beautiful architecture gets dragged down by immense tofu dreg.
Highest of beauty, but eyesores that turn the face away from even looking.

USA is strong and proud, but you have some nasty folk too with all the given freedoms and rights.

Reggie shouldn’t being doing nuclear. Did you ever calculate critical mass for uranium on a college final? Is this thorium reactor a light water or heavy water reactor like your candu reactors? Do you even know the what difference makes and design?

I know you buy Chinese radios on temu but that doesn’t grant you dominion over Chinese manufacturing or Chinese people especially if you aren’t even Chinese.
You are Reggie, Burma Man.

And now you will go to the Japanese. So racist and wanna be master manipulator.

Most thorium reactors are heavy water, Mark.

I do not buy Chinese radios on Temu. I did once buy some Jianpai radios on Bangood a few years ago. I store them in various places for emergencies.

I have never been to Burma, Mark.

Far out. Guess they built it in the Gobi Desert in case there is a serious malfunction. China still builds a huge amount of coal plants as well they are the worlds number one emitter of GHG.

True, but not per capita.

ChatGPT: Per capita, Qatar is usually the top emitter of greenhouse gases, followed by other small, oil-rich nations like Kuwait and UAE. Among large countries, Australia, Canada, and the U.S. rank highest.

You are correct I just looked it up. Countries like Pakistan and Sudan have very little per capita GHG emissions.

Why don’t you two try breathing more in instead of this?

This is all over the news today. From everything I can gather, it’s real. I’ve read news about it from RT to the Telegraph.

EDIT: this thing is straight out of Battlestar Galactica.

Possible action against tariffs to further destabilize the country.

Is it really just Trump, Reggie?

I love this.

Cool. What do the labour camps in the north west part of China look like.?

I asked ChatGPT how long before China’s air was cleaner than US air. It said ~13–19 years.

Short answer: plausible long-term, not “certain,” and not soon.

  • Peak coal? Several analysts now say China’s coal consumption likely peaked by 2025, but policy still permits new plants for “security/peaking,” and approvals/construction continue. (DNV)
  • Renewables/storage: China is adding wind/solar and grid batteries at world-leading pace, which will keep cutting urban pollution. (Reuters)
  • U.S. policy headwinds: 2025 rollbacks (tax credits, grants, big projects) may slow the U.S. clean-energy build-out. (AP News)
  • Where the bar is today: 2024 PM₂.₅ averages were ~31 ”g/mÂł (China) vs ~7–8 ”g/mÂł (U.S.). That’s a big gap. Even with steady Chinese declines, national parity likely takes ~13–19 years (10%–7% annual PM₂.₅ reduction, U.S. flat). Wildfires or U.S. rollbacks could narrow that sooner; continued coal and dust could delay it. (IQAir)

Bottom line: Given China’s EV/renewables/storage surge and its track record on cutting PM₂.₅, it’s credible they beat many U.S. metros on air quality over time. But overtaking the U.S. national average isn’t “certain” and—on current data—looks a decade-plus away. (DNV)

Not going to happen. China builds coal power plants faster than any nation on earth. They throw Green Party members in prison.
