Change work culture maybe?

Infinite money does not lead to infinite scale in zero time. China's nuclear industry is robust and growing, as is their solar and wind industry. Money can't be wasted if you're already tapped out on growth in other avenues.

This year, China deployed more solar panels than the entirety of all solar panels in the US.

Hamas only exists because of Israel. They are only radicalized because of the IDF.

The US did the same thing to the Native Americans and supported the South African apartheid regime, so it's no surprise they support colonialism and apartheid here.

Tibet is the romanized name for the region (based on Latin Tibetum). Tibetans call the Tibetan plateau "Bö" and Central Tibet "Ü-Tsang."

The original Tibetan Empire (circa 600-800 or something) stretched across the regions of Amdo (modern-day Qinghai), Ü-Tsang (modern-day Tibet Autonomous Region), and Khan (split between TAR and Sichuan). Xizang is a more or less direct transliteration of Ü-Tsang, the territory that makes up the vast majority of the modern-day TAR.

Tibet refers to the entire plateau (also referred to as the Qinghai-Xizang plateau or the Himalayan Plateau) and Xizang refers to the territory made up by the TAR. Xizang has, for as long as I can remember, been the Chinese name for the TAR.

This is manufactured outrage with a clickbait title... About what can be expected from Newsweek.

Edit: for some additional context, China is usually pretty good about keeping local names. See: Ürümqi (Wulumuqi) from the name of Dzungar village there, Kashgar (Kashigaer/Kashi) which has had the same name for millennia and Harbin (Haerbin) from the name of the Manchu village there (among others). Understandably, because Hui and Uyghurs still live in Urumqi and Kashgar, Manchu still live in Harbin, and Tibetans still live in Xizang.

It's not like forest cover is hard to verify by satellite imagery. Lying about reforestation and deforestation is hard.

Turns out Belgium is also Hamas guys

[-] zerfuffle@lemmy.ml 17 points 11 months ago

Clearly the West Bank is also Hamas. You can tell because they're brown.

[-] zerfuffle@lemmy.ml 17 points 11 months ago

As we know, journalists are all Hamas.

[-] zerfuffle@lemmy.ml 17 points 11 months ago

Clearly they are all Hamas. You can tell because they're not white.

A UN-run school in central Gaza where 4,000 people are sheltering was hit during an Israeli air strike, killing at least six people

I'm sure the school must have contained some Hamas fighters. After all, the median age in Gaza is like 18 years.

As the IDF states, Palestinians are subhuman, so clearly the IDF cannot be participating in war crimes. Clearly.

Palestinians have the right to revolution just like the Americans, French, and Chinese did. That revolution might be bloody, but the fight for sovereignty and equality is rarely peaceful.
