Notably, electricity (among other things) is substantially cheaper in Shanghai.
The death of Wu, a prominent researcher at an Illinois university, has put attention again on efforts to pursue researchers suspected of having undisclosed ties to Beijing.
Tbh this is a better signal for academic integrity checks than it is for anything else
It's widely known that a number of individuals at top US universities have been directly implicated in falsification scandals... They just get away with it.
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
The Teslas from Shanghai are straight up better than the ones from Fremont... And if we're being honest Shanghai probably has better quality of life than San Jose.
In Canada, Teslas from Shanghai are by far preferable to the ones from Fremont. Something about those Chinese factories man

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.

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.

Oh no! The millionaire is now not a billionaire... And the developer was sentenced to life in prison.

India: Deal?
Russia: Deal.
America: Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?
New Delhi has resisted pressure to distance itself from Moscow since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022
Surely this can't be caused by the biggest economies in the world relying on "clean" natural gas (that is, 99% methane) instead of "dirty" coal... Right?
Researchers call for immediate action to reduce methane emissions and avert dangerous escalation in climate crisis
Russia and China are going 5G now. Only the F-35 can match them
The new plans include investing about $3 billion to expand Super Duty production, including $2.3 billion at the Canadian plant, Ford said Thursday.
