It will have to be seen whether the EU sees a nuclear boom, but globally we will see this I am afraid. The two countries leading the AI race at the moment definitely will: The U.S. government has reaffirmed nuclear power as a key pillar of its long-term clean energy strategy a year or so ago, with the revival previously retired reactors and extensions of aging ones.

And China has joined a pledge to triple global nuclear energy capacity by 2050 which stemmed from the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai, also known as COP28,

… The installed [nuclear] capacity has been growing at a remarkable rate in China, the future home of just under half of the world’s nuclear reactors currently under construction … [China’s nuclear] capacity addition should accelerate [by 2030, according to China’s current five-year plan], as the State Council has been approving 10 or more new reactor units annually since 2022 …

Another weird comparison. Mississippi isn’t a shithole imo, nor is China. But the Chinese government is a dictatorship, and so is Russia. They are bad. There are a lot of well-sourced reports from reliable sources you could read to learn about it.

The daily deluge of Chinese criticism is propaganda, even if it is all 100% true.

Thank you very much for this explanation (/s, just to be safe).

This is a weird comparison imo. The Chinese spokesman has said that, and both countries’ governments have been hailing their ‘ironclad friendship’ frequently in the past, while China is a decisive supporter of Russia’s war against Ukraine, amongst others.

I agree with the quality of the media in principle, but this is just a report from a press conference in China. The outlet is just quoting a simple statement by one of China’s government spokesmen. There is no investigation.

And this is definitely not ‘anti-Chinese propaganda’. Also, the reports critical of China that I can read here on Lemmy and elsewhere are mostly well-sourced and published by highly reliable sources, and therefore, absolutely justified.

The way how this is framed is an attempt to normalize such a regime.

It just fits to your pro-China propaganda stance. China is Afghanistan’s largest foreign investor, not in the least as Beijing depends on the stability in the region for its so-called Belt and Road Initiative. A crisis or political instability could threaten this initiative as well as China–Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The linked article is an attempt to downplay the Taliban’s atrocities, while downplaying severe human rights violations that can’t be denied by framing them as things the regime “failed to achieve”. This is a slap in the face to the people in Afghanistan.

This is rubbish. The Taliban are among the worst regimes in history.
