I was going to comment on that. I haven't read the book but there was an interesting article I read recently (prob based on the book's findings) that by elevating engineers, China is led by people who solve problems. Whereas in the US we churn out lots of lawyers who find corporate law boring and want to go into "policy" which are not solutions but words on a piece of paper. I now live outside of DC but when I was there (working in a quasi government entity) I was always struck by the fact it was career-long lawyers on our staff making decisions not people who had industry experience. |

China will be victorious in the long run. I wish mandarin wasn’t so difficult. https://x.com/angelicaoung/status/2034629782776987741?s=46 |

Is this like Tinkerbell, where you have to keep chanting it to keep it alive? You're weak. Learn a language if you're this weird about it and can't stop posting. Are you just lazy? |

^^I have a friend who taught herself Mandarin with online courses in her 50s. You're weak, and your entire line is weak. |

| Once they are allowed to sell BYD cars in the US it will be over. Their tech in this area far surpasses ours and we will end up reliant on China for EVs and renewables |

That was entertaining, I guess. You'll have to dub it if you want Americans to watch it. They also can't read fast enough to follow those subtitles. |

| Everyday that this war goes on, China gains leverage to negotiate political wins. Probably by October this year they will have the world over a barrel and will 'negotiate' the transfer of Taiwan to Chinese control. Meanwhile our president wonders 'who knew international diplomacy was so complicated'. More tarriffs! |

So the west analysts always accuse China of over building capacity. For example they can manufacture 40 million EVs when domestic market is for new cars in 20 million. China’s solar manufacturing capacity reached an estimated 1,200 GW per year. They added 381 GW domestically. The China builds to meet future demand. It’s risky but looks like it will pay off for them this time. I bet countries will start heavily incentivizing EVs to reduce oil dependence and build out solar. It will take 105-110 GW of solar to replace the 12.8 million tons per year (mtpa) of LNG capacity destroyed in the Israel Iran war. Without China the world add 270 GW of solar in 2025. I could see that number doubling in a year. You just have to place an order with the Chinese. Europe would need 40-46 GW of new solar to replace the LNG capacity destroyed in the war. In 2025 Europe install 61.5 GW of new solar. Solar plants can be built in under a year. It will take almost two years to rebuild the LGN plants in the Persian Gulf. Europe was building out renewables to be off US LNG and other fossil fuels. Russia Ukraine and the Israel US Iran war has shown them they need to be energy independent asap. Looks like China will have a good few years of exports. |

| It will take 3-5 years to repair anything oil and gas facilities destroyed or damaged in the Persian gulf. |

| The difference between the US and China is one is guided by ideology and short-term greed and the other by reason and long-term planning. Guess which country is sending their Vice President to campaign for the far right fascist Viktor Orban in Hungary. And guess which country is massively investing in renewable energy. |
