Not trying to get too political but Yes, they should not sell to the US.

The US, together with the Trump vasal Mark Rutte, stopped the sale of ASML chip machines to China. They would be well in their right not to sell to the US.

Actually if you look at the export figures, China is exporting more after all the tariffs, and bans and restrictions to anywhere else outside of the US. They don’t care about the US. Again this is the backup of a plan already implemented.

That is also why China is heavily investing in Africa. Not so much the Middle East, where the US is aiming for because of oil. China is more interested in rare minerals and Africa could be a place where these could be found.

So instead of destroying infrastructure in the Middle East, China is building infrastructure in Africa. And creating goodwill by sending a large medical ship for humanitarian purposes. Of course all the thoughts behind this are political

What most people don’t understand is that the more you push China with tariffs and sanctions, the more they will become self reliant - especially when it comes to technology. They will not roll over and curl up. Quite the opposite. Plus China sticks to their 5, 10, 15 and 25 year plans. And they have backup plans for their backup plans.

Never been able to be sold outside of the US, including Europe or Asia because it would never pass the safety test, says it all.

It also says something about the American safety tests and laws. Americans are so afraid of Chinese cars that pass all safety tests but this unsafe monstrosity roams the streets?

Telling people to go kill themselves is?

It’s bizar. On other lemmy subs you are free to call for people to get murdered or killed. No problem at all. But a funny picture of a fat woman lying on a skinny man, is absolutely not acceptable.

This lemmy place is fucking weird man.

Thank you for all the detailed information. Indeed it was Sonam Wangchuk and Rahul Gandhi.

Your last paragraph is quite shocking about the current situation in India and the oppression. I was aware of the ongoing religious conflicts between the Hindu and Muslim as highlighted by the Ram Temple saga in 2024.

Corruption is rampant in India as you indicated: 'Corruption in India is a significant issue that affects various sectors, with over 62% of Indians having paid a bribe to a public official at some point. The country ranked 91st out of 182 countries in the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, indicating persistent challenges in tackling public sector corruption.’

Will there be a point the Indian people will have enough of the oppression, corruption and revolt or is this not in the DNA of the people?

In my humble opinion, India should be on the same path as China in regards to lifting people out of poverty, social security, technology, infrastructure but it seems like India is stuck in some dichotomy.

Thanks but this still doesn’t explain the high ranking figure on hunger strike, nor the arrest of the opposition leader.

There must be more to this story for these incidents to occur. Especially the arrest of the opposition leader sounds very… Russian or authoritarian?

What about your shit after lunch?
