Neue Technologien meint sie damit nicht, denn die Forschung für Batterieentwicklung wurde fast eingestellt - #China wird auch hier führend!

“The banned imports - known as the #Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List - names businesses that are said to be involved in exploiting forced labor in Xinjiang region.
The addition of 26 brings the total number of banned companies to 65.
The act, passed by Congress in 2021 & enacted in June 2022, prohibits the import of any goods made in Xinjiang from entering the US”
#China#BYD#EVs#USA: "“The Western markets did not democratize EVs. They gentrified EVs,” said Bill Russo, the founder of the Automobility Ltd. consultancy in Shanghai. “And when you gentrify, you limit the size of the market. China is all about democratizing EVs, and that’s what will ultimately lead Chinese companies to be successful as they go global.”
Inside a huge garage in an industrial area west of Detroit, a company called Caresoft Global tore apart a Seagull that its China office purchased and shipped to the U.S.
Company President Terry Woychowski, a former chief engineer on General Motors’ big pickup trucks, said the car is a “clarion call” for the U.S. auto industry, which is years behind China in designing low-cost EVs.
After the teardown, Woychowski, who has been in the auto business for 45 years, said he was left wondering if U.S. automakers can adjust. “Things will have to change in some radical ways in order to be able to compete,” he said."
@remixtures The US is the Oil Empire. There will only ever be one.
China wants to displace the US as the global hegemon. That requires displacing the Oil Empire, which at its most basic means domestic decarbonization in China. Hence EVs and solar are for-serious policy.
In the US, cars exist to create a market for fossil fuels. (Suburbs exist to create a market for cars.) Incumbent power requires this; incumbent power rests on this.
Incumbents refuse all change they have the power to refuse.
Investigating China's illegal operations on foreign soil | Four Corners
For the first time ever, a former spy for China’s notorious secret police – one of the most powerful arms of the country’s intelligence apparatus – goes public, exposing the covert and illegal operations he was ordered to carry out on foreign soil and the dissidents he was tasked with tracking, including in Australia, Canada, India, Cambodia and Thailand
"Around $200 billion was invested in #CleanTechnology manufacturing worldwide in 2023 — a 70 percent increase from 2022. China alone accounted for three-quarters of this investment.
As of last year, Chinese factories churned out more than 80 % of the world’s solar modules and battery cells, as well as nearly 65 % of wind nacelles and 56 % of electrolyzers.
#China is currently the lowest-cost location for producing all of these five key clean technologies."
@CelloMomOnCars its a bit strange to call this products "clean tech" because its produced sticking to it a lot of blood and fossil energy in their making. no?
@CelloMomOnCars There is plenty to criticise China about but being ahead in renewable technology is not one of them, this should be read as an indictment of Western nations who should be doing more.
Outcome of #Putin visit to #China in terms of economic agreements signed:
✅ Agreement on supplies of Russian topinambour and beef by-products, particularly beef cartilage and stomachs to China
✅ Creation of a new nature reserve “Land of big cats”
✅ Cooperation between TASS and Xinhua news agencies
❌ Construction of Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline was not agreed
To me, these indicate an extremely close and strategic partnership between China and Russia, especially the beef cartilages are going to change the course of the world 😂
@kravietz what could be worse, like P-800 missiles in the hands of Hezbollah terrorists, or P-270 missiles in CCP ships, it already happened. Unlike some undeveloped terrorists, there's Taiwan and it can develop their own. Hsiung Feng III missile is purely domestic stuff, and they can laugh at P-270 anytime

The PRC Belt and Roads Initiative is a none too clever means of endebtedness for all participating countries. China does not loose on the deals no matter how unsuccessful these might turn out. In the meantime, hosting countries face years of loans repayments. There is a wolrd map in this article showing the extent of Chinese Ownership of Chinese built port facilities. It’s sobering.

Dear Xi, Don't leave your drink near any FSB, you are well aware they like to poison.
The world's legal polonium-210 (210Po) production occurs in Russia in RBMK reactors.
Court's findings were consistent with those of the UK inquiry; it ruled that "the assassination had been carried out by" Andrey Lugovoy and Dmitry Kovtun; that there was "prima facie evidence of russian state involvement" and that there was a "strong" case that the two assassins were acting as agents of the Russian State; and that Russia had failed to investigate the murder or to identify and punish those responsible. The Court drew an adverse inference from Russia's refusal to disclose any documents from its investigation. The Court noted that the "planned and complex operation involving the procurement of a rare deadly poison, the travel arrangements for the pair, and repeated and sustained attempts to administer the poison indicated that Mr Litvinenko had been the target of the operation."
5 takeaways from Biden's tariff hikes on Chinese electric vehicles
"Biden wants to cut emissions in a specific way, which is why EVs and other clean industries are getting both giant subsidies and protectionist tariffs. He wants a U.S.-based green energy supply chain — from raw materials all the way to finished products — with American jobs, preferably union jobs, at every step."
As a candidate this year, he has floated tariffs of 60% or higher on all Chinese goods and a 10% across-the-board tariffs on goods from all points of origin."

"The 'largest blockade' of Chinese vessels is en route to Panatag Shoal (also known as #ScarboroughShoal or Bajo de Masinloc) in the West Philippine Sea, ahead of a civilian mission to the area, said an expert and observer of maritime movements in the region on Monday...'This will be by far the largest blockade I’ll have ever tracked at Scarborough. #China seems determined to aggressively enforce its claim over the shoal,' he said

#Frankreich startet eine umfangreiche #Windkraft-Offensive und plant, die Anzahl der #Windparks massiv zu erhöhen, um bis 2050 mindestens 20% seines Stroms aus #Windenergie zu gewinnen. Finanzminister Bruno Le Maire kündigte an, dass die Zahl der Ausschreibungen für neue Projekte steigen und die finanziellen Anreize erhöht werden sollen. Ziel ist es, unabhängiger von fossilen Brennstoffen und Importen, insbesondere aus #China, zu werden.

On a statistical basis, China’s newly-built wind and solar capacity figures are impressive, but their performance consistently lags that of renewable assets in other countries. China gets low utilization rates for its wind and solar because it has built a lot of capacity in parts of the country that have average-at-best natural wind and solar resources. Furthermore, much of the solar is on rooftops, which also see lower capacity factors than ground-mounted solar.
