Do you see the shit going on in the Yuan? The DPP is corrupt and sabotaging Taiwan’s economic growth for no good reason.

Young people want money. A nice house, good food, travel. It’s not that complicated.

Gansu, the poorest province in China, a province where “almost no one is living.” Qinghai, Xinjiang… Same story. Together, they have almost 60 million people. Many of them are minorities with historically poor job prospects due to their distance from economic centers.

By building energy installations in the middle of the country, they’re providing jobs to a group that’s been left behind by the rapid industrialization of the country’s East. Providing them with a surplus of electricity. Driving investment in the region. Moreover, this group of people is more than the population of New York and Texas… Combined.

How about you take your racism and your classism and shove it up your ass?

These are factories in the US. The worst case is, the US seizes and nationalizes them. Wouldn’t be the first time.

“Heavily subsidized supply chains”

Let’s just call it what it is: economies of scale. China makes up 80% of the polysilicon market. The US? Barely 5%. Scale is the strongest subsidy of them all.

Taiwan’s current government is incredibly pro-US. Trump understands that the DPP’s days are numbered given the rise of the KMT/TPP (which only lost the election because of a last second collapse of coalition). Taiwan’s government is pro-US in spite of the public’s interest, not because of it.

After all, Taiwan’s trade with the mainland and Hong Kong make up almost 50% of all exports. The bulk of this is in basic goods across the Taiwanese economy, not the product of one company.

In the past, Taiwan’s frigid relations with the mainland were due to sour memories (losing the civil war, getting kicked out, etc.) Today? Young people just want a prosperous life, and China is absurdly prosperous - especially for young engineers in tech. The US can either recognize that fact, or drag another country into war.

It’s pretty funny when foreigners care more about your own sovereignty.

Does it sound like a suppressed .22 to anyone else?

The Health Survey for England 2021 estimates that 25.9% of adults in England are obese and a further 37.9% are overweight but not obese.

1. How do you think China got so prosperous? Being outsourced labour is the foundation of the Chinese economy.

2. Stop projecting your AmeriKKKan views on other countries lmao

Lmao citing MBFC when the NYT is actively trying to unseat the sitting head of the Democratic Party

Lmao Ukraine is about to become devoid of birds

Any radar sensitive enough to pick up drones is going to have an insane number of false positives
