Whatever the company’s nationality, they will just fuck up the environment, local community (illness, children born with defects, …), and their subsistence when governement just lets those industries do whatever they want. Chinese business worldwide are no different than American/western; it is worth noticing that Chinese in some countries owns a great amount of industries, undermining the national businesses. This is just a modern form of colonization.
Both IMIP and IWIP are primarily owned by Chinese company Tsingshan Holding Group, which has been investing heavily in Indonesia’s nickel facilities since 2013. It has become the norm for Chinese companies seeking to get involved in the nickel-processing business in Indonesia to work with Tsingshan and its partners. Although the group reportedly plans to sell its assets in Indonesia, these will likely go to other Chinese companies. Tsingshan Holding Group did not respond to a request for comment for this story.
Ahmad Redi, an expert in natural resources and mining law at the University of Tarumanagara, believes that China’s dominance is a double-edged sword: On one side, it gives a boost to Indonesia’s state income and local economic growth, but on the other, it could mean that Indonesia’s nickel becomes a pawn in China’s larger industrialization agenda. “[This means] that maximum economic and added value potentials can’t be achieved by Indonesia,” he told Rest of World.
Additionally, Chinese investors are not known for having the highest concerns for environmental impact, Redi said. “The environmental damage and social conflict will cause Indonesia to suffer long-term losses,” he said.
If the US historically had not take part in such activities worldwide I would not have made that claim. Because the US have done so much imperialist activities that lead to war, military dictatorships, … it is only logical to assume US involvement.
And it is not the first time US tries to fuck up China specifically
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States
- https://redsails.org/another-view-of-tiananmen/
Also of course some people in China will be legitimately angry with the regime (ever saw that nail houses thing?), but not assuming US involvement is naive.
I should have been more specific yes. Anyway the article is lacking very much because it does not show the correlation. Also maybe the correlation should be adjusted for the social isolation period that lead to an increase in things like mass shootings
logically means that you think carrying guns keeps individuals safer
Ah no. In a scenario in which everyone carries a gun, it only seems riskier to not carry a gun as well
Imperialist west/US is totally taking part in that, either funding or leading in some way. Go and make your demands; but demanding the CPC down, that is demanding a liberal, US-like model, will just destroy China (that is all US wants). So these protesters are acting in bad-faith or were brainwashed and don’t have enough information.
Besides socioeconomic issues, I’d also correlate that to neofacist forces.
in part due to the global pandemic, lockdowns and the economic impact of these.
Most of the violence women and girls face is at the hands of intimate partners and family members, and it begins at an early age. Studies show that one in four young women (aged 15-24 years), who have been in a relationship, will have already experienced violence by an intimate partner by the time they reach their mid-twenties.
What about forces like US saying to intervene/support Taiwan militarily, also Taiwan having strong economic relations with West? Taiwan is basically a proxy, military strategic position to US in Asia/Pacific.
Also separatist party? Afaik historically it was KMT people who fled to the island after losing to CPC
Nice. Ditch WhatsApp. Use an app that has no user identifiers to begin with so no chance of that happening, that is apps like https://simplex.chat/

Is there any scientific evidence Esperantano is more efficient, has significantly superior user experience/usability? What about that in the context of using it for software engineering? People seem to have developed it in the 1800s; so outdated. Also many issues https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto#Criticism like bias and the gender non-neutrality; I would discard it. I would suggest to come up with a better language for the 21st century. This one seems better https://www.globasa.net/eng
Also, isn’t this an XY problem? The problem is that many people do not know the current dominant language that people use in science, technology, so on. So you propose Esperanto. Well, now you gatekeep it to people who know Esperanto, which is a way less demography than English. But since learning languages that are more close to one’s native language is easier, that would allow people from Latin/Roamance/Germanic-based languages to possibly learn it faster? That would not be true to Asiatic languages, …
Why another language is the correct solution? Why not improve current education systems? Why not machine translation? Why not improve translations? If the US switches its official language to Esperanto, wouldn’t it be imperialist as well? Language dominance is linked to socioeconomic development. You need countries like US to actually adopt it; otherwise it would be just another language to learn besides English. You are just making it harder.
If you read the intro by translator he talkd about this (paraphrased) “our western pov: the possible rise of capitalism in China’s 1980s was a missed opportunity also liberalism, democracy…”. But the book is by a Han Chinese citizen and intellectual addressing to the young Chinese seemingly unsatisfied despite the nation’s progress: they are unable to buy houses, afford parenting, high pressure both professionally and academically… so on. Well, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha-like_mindset is a thing
Thanks for the detailed comment! I’ve read some of the links, they are very enlightening.
The video goes on to show the inequal distribution of wealth, or GDP, between coastal regions and interior, rural areas to the west. And China’s funding these poorer regions through the gainings of the wealthier regions. I see some of your links show China’s trying to now properly develop these regions according to their characteristics rather than just giving them money. While in compensation the western region acts as a geographical shield against external forces as and thus defends the wealthier regions—I understand this point mostly for what have led to all uprisings, revolutions, wars in China during the 20th century, but not sure if this makes too much sense.
The video points out the fact communism, Chinese socialism, is also to union people in a large country as China, and maintaining sovergnity. It gives this is the main point of socialism in China rather than actually implementing socialism and communism. So it is nice you pointed out all these data.

The “longtermists”. This has nothing to do with saving humanity; this has everything to do to assure they—who unjustly hold power, resources, capital—maintain and escalate their status throughout human existence.
No. This leads to the commercialization/capitalization of accounts and “karma farming” in general. Increases numbers of bots, decreases content quality. It will become yet another Reddit. If Lemmy implements that I will be out of here.
Hope you devs can see the issues with it @nutomic@lemmy.ml and not become liberals. Stop the gamification!
“deaths of despair” is one of the most inhumane natures of this socioeconomic system. Her condition is an exacerbated version of this. People in this system are lead to not care about other people at all.
Bray said none of the doctors contacted her to learn about the efforts to help Denise find housing first. This is despite research showing that people with multiple chemical sensitivities often improve in chemically cleaner environments.
“Shocking,” she said. “They’re easily fixable situations," said Bray.
…
He heard about her plight last fall and attests to how hard Denise has tried to get a healthier home. But he’s seen her lose hope.
“Door after closed-door after closed-door…the gauntlet tends to push people in the direction of the legislation that is there, which is medical assistance and dying, " said Fancy, who has started a GoFundMe to try to help Denise find better accommodations. “I’ve got a very significant concern that this is the tip of the iceberg,” he added.

gaywallet thanks for all the links and resources I had already looked at them. I told you I was interested in that specific period because I find important to have such correlation, I already know about the existing increase overall. The way you insist on this makes me think you are assuming bad faith on my side which is not the case. I don’t like this.
