Quote from: Crazy_Ivan80 on July 04, 2025, 08:07:51 AMWang Yi apparently stated to Von Der Leyen that china can't afford a Russian defeat in Ukraine.
If true we're basically at war, if undeclared and only via proxy. But this isn't going to get any better anytime soon.
And a Ukrainian defeat is thus not unlikely either.

(Better) insulation and blinds persianas in Castilian and Portuguese, opened in the morning and at night and closed during the day would be a good start, Southern Europe has been doing that for a long time.

QuoteCan you hear it — that loud roar coming from the East? It's the sound of 1.4 billion Chinese laughing at us.
The Chinese simply can't believe their luck: that at the dawn of the electricity-guzzling era of artificial intelligence, the U.S. president and his party have decided to engage in one of the greatest acts of strategic self-harm imaginable. They have passed a giant bill that, among other craziness, deliberately undermines America's ability to generate electricity through renewables — solar, battery and wind power in particular.
And why? Because they view those as "liberal" energy sources, even though today they are the quickest and cheapest ways to boost our electricity grid to meet the explosion of demand from A.I. data centers.
It is exactly the opposite of what China is doing. Indeed, Beijing may have to make July 4 its own national holiday going forward: American Electricity Dependence Day.
