Does public transport, which acts to serve the public, NEED to generate revenue? Of course its good if they do, but don't see it as a prerequisite.
Idk about you, but I would rather have an excess of underutilised rail then the 0km of high speed rail that is in my country.

You're very ideologically inflexible. Instead of engaging with other modes of development / forms of government, youre just telling them to leave your country.
Why don't you open your mind a bit, and learn from the experiences of others

They're still leading the green revolution. You're criticising on of the countries doing the most for climate change because they aren't perfect. Seems might unfair

So should China trust US stats and data? Since the US is apparently an adversarial country?

China does have a pension system, not sure where you got your information from. Are you instead arguing that their pension system is not adequate?

Not saying it's all of it, but could some of this reputation be from propaganda and attempts to smear chinese tech? Seems like a pretty common MO from the USA

bit of a random comparison. You're comparing one country's propensity to invade/ bomb other countries and kill their citizens to another country's internal famine. You could say the Chinese gov was incompetent then, but that famine isn't an example of foreign interference, like the US wars etc. dont think the comparison here holds

AHAHA bro. No offense, but you're just like a parrot, chirping off the same tired talking points that other misinformed people have said. You haven't added anything of value to the discussion at all, you've just increased the amount of lies and mistruths in the world.
If you really want to make that BOLD claim, you must provide actual proper evidence.

In other news, China seems to have contained delta, with 0 new active cases today. It does seem to be possible to tame delta, even with a population of 1.4 billion people.

The perception of this in the hn comments is funny cos in nsw I feel most people are mad that the lockdown didn't happen earlier and wasn't tougher. Because of this lapse, cases keep rising. We're a highly not vacced population.

Per capita and development status IS relevant. How can you expect nations like India who still have populations in poverty, still have huge rural-urban migration, to be able to focus as much on green energy than a mature nation like Europe USA?
The bigger humanitarian crisis in India is the sheer amount of poverty, not the impending climate crisis.

Why can't they provide this feature to these regimes? Why do they implement it in the USA then? Seems like a roundabout way to go about it lol
Re:Apple's child protection features spark concern within its own rank...

Why then release this feature in the US? Why not just release it in China and avoid all this negative press? Bad take is bad

Do you really think that the Chinese government have not studied the causes and effects of the ussr collapse enough? The other large communist nation who was also their neighbour? Or is this just some weird rhetoric you're using

Mate yoga is the original spiritual practice from India. It was created as a tool to explore and deepen spirituality.
Reducing it to "just some stretches" is a western invention. Which is fine! But chakras and all that "hippie woo" is much closer to "true yoga" than the sanitised version you're talking about.

Bit off topic, but seeing a lot of talk about air purifiers here recently. I've never even considered purchasing one, but now my interest is a little piqued. I've never really felt my air to be unclean, and I don't really have allergies. Still worth looking into? Anyone w experience tell me any benefits? cheers
