MFW China is becoming the best country on earth just because it actually gives a shit about governance.
It is pretty mind-blowing when the only thing you have experienced is willful incompetence
No but like…there aren’t hordes of brainwormed idiots screaming about the oil and gas industry? Half the country doesn’t object to good things merely because they hate the other half? No pundits making up negative side effects of this, or politicians sneaking poison pills into bills?
It’s a functional country? Those are allowed???
It’s functional? What about muh freedomz?! Gommies owned :smuglord:
It’s the only country which can think further ahead into the future than the next fiscal quarter
Wow I can’t believe that actually investing and building shit has positive effects glorious austerity said that financebro industries would just spawn infrastructure!
shit i just realized their strategy, they’re basically trying to make infrastructure by hawking radiation! make a landscape devoid of infrastructure (by austerity and/or bombing), wait for virtual infrastructure pairs to pop out of the vacuum, bomb it again in the hope that you get half of them and their pairs stick around.
The ideal business under capitalism has no product and hires no employees. Just hoard as many resources, then sit on and do nothing with them as they increase in value.
the people who own our office building dont seem to care about making too much money on rent. it’s real estate, line goes up.
entire floors are still empty 5 years after opening.
Communism is Soviet power plus electrification of the whole country✅
China understands the assignment tiles entire land area in solar panels
IDK I wouldn’t really call it an electrostate at this point. It still relies on fossil fuels. It’ll become one but it’s just not the case right now.
Edit: like until China is producing so much green energy that it’s selling significant amounts of green hydrogen and derived fuels to the rest of the world I think likening it to a petrostate is just incorrect.
China still uses fossil fuels, but I think it’s fair to call it an electrostate at this point.

Also important to note that China updates and replaces fossil fuels with more efficient technology, so their coal plants for example are much cleaner and more efficient than the ones in US and Europe.
Is the electrostate close to the prostate, does everyone have one?
Ah, but did you consider they’re authoritarian? At what cost? :smuglord:
What does “Share of final energy from electricity” mean?
I believe it would be the amount of electrical energy consumed relative to the total amount of energy consumed nationwide. I would assume that e.g. energy generated by a coal power plant would count, but the energy produced by a gas-fired water heater would not (since the burning gas is heating the water directly and the energy is never converted to electricity).
Ah that makes sense. I assume then that this is pretty dependent on industry like steel mills converting to electricity?
yup
