The Efficiency Moat: Why China Is Beating the U.S. on AI… And Everything Else
From electric vehicles to drones to solar to AI, the Chinese are doing what the U.S. used to - investing and competing. Chinese strategy is also predatory, but we could learn a thing or two from them.

Heavy Metal - China controls much of the strategic metals needed for just about everything modern. And they have now instituted ways to turn things off and on with most countries in the world dependent on this flow.

Aber durch die strategische Lage im Pazifik weltpolitisch von großem Interesse. Seit einiger Zeit sind die Inseln ins Visier der Großmächte geraten. Mit erstaunlichen Folgen.

As It Boosts Renewables, China Still Can't Break Its Coal Addiction
Despite being a renewables superpower, China continues to permit and build new coal-fired power plants at a rapid pace. Analysts say the nation’s new five-year plan will ensure further coal plant expansion and jeopardize China’s ability to deliver on its climate promises.

As the world turns its attention to China’s increasingly stringent waste import ban, a dangerous stream of electronic waste is entering Bangladesh. Despite the enactment of the Hazardous Waste (e-waste) Management Rules 2021, weak regulatory systems and illegal trade routes are making the country a major destination for global “e-waste.” Electronic waste (e-waste), which includes […]

Chinese people don't like or don't want to queue. They just flock randomly in front of the counter. But the shops solved the problem by offering to order via WeChat MiniApps. You scan a QR code and place your order (incl. paypment) in the app. Then you just need to pick up. #China #Chongqing

"Renewable energies overtook global electricity demand last year, led by solar growth in China, India"

Solar growth in China and India powers clean energy surge by 2025
Record growth in solar, especially in China and India, was a driving factor for clean energy sources surpassing the world’s strong demand for electricity in 2025. Clean power generation grew 887 terawatt hours in 2025, exceeding overall global electricity demand growth of 849 terawatt hours, according to a report by energy think tank Ember. Ember analyzes electricity data from 215 countries, and studied 2025 data for 91 countries, which the firm says represents 93% of global electricity deman…

#China macht es vor: Es investiert enorme Summen in erneuerbare Energie. Auch wenn jetzt noch viel fossile Energie die CO2 Bilanz des Landes verhagelt, China wird wohl das erste Industrieland sein, das CO2 neutral sein wird, zumindest annhähernd - während wir in Europa immer noch diskutieren, ob wir nicht doch wieder Atomkraft reaktivieren, zumindest Gaskraftwerke, wenn nicht gar wieder Kohlekraftwerke…
