UK, as a case study of evolution of modern capitalist societies, is emblematic to the cyclical nature of nation states. When UK started first industrial revolution, it practiced raw capitalism. Fast forward to today, UK becomes a society of post-capitalism. I guess, god knows, there are a few critical factors that underpin this evolution. I just want to point to one factor that is missing in China's dynastic history: UK's parliamentary democracy, which so far fails to save UK from its downward spiral. I guess the model of representative democracy is getting into a crisis mode as more formerly advanced democratic nations are struggling nowadays. In this backdrop, it is only logical that UK is going to be America's bitch for the foreseeable future, because it has effectively shut all other doors for its survival.
Basically, life science is like the reverse Midas: any job that has to do with healthcare in the US that is not doctor or nursing has shit pay.
Way back when I was in school they were pushing the interdisciplinary biology thing very hard with biomedical engineering profs speaking to new students trying to recruit people to biomedical engineering major, a new "biochemistry and molecular biophysics" major in physical sciences, a "biophysics" graduate program, etc... yeah don't fall for that stuff. Software + traditional economy stuff guaranteed to have something like mechanical engineering for automotive or some shit is all that matters.
BTW, they're pushing semiconductors now with a new "interdisciplinary materials science and engineering" program for chemistry/physics/chemE. The saving grace is that unlike biologists, you actually have to know math and physics to do materials science. So wages will only drop like a rock, rather than drop like a boulder.

Wow Twitter #SouthKorea is full of graphic videos of dead Koreans piled up in Itaewon. I'm surprised they didn't remove these videos, and there's something creepy about seeing all these male paramedics giving CPR to already dead female women.
It's quite horrifying to see so many suffocated faces in one video. Especially when they're in Halloween costumes and actually dead for real.

Similar plan such as "Electrolysis Hydrogen plant" inside China as small scale experiment, YES.
Plan of large scale production inside China, NO.
Plan to build such plant outside China such as exporting to Kazakhstan (I suppose this is what you are asking), NO, not until China herself is committed to such practice.
EU is basically paying Kazakhstan for land to produce Hydrogen as energy source exported back to Europe. Kazakhstan gains regardless if the hydrogen economy works in practical terms. EU is taking the full risk.
The idea of Hydrogen Economy circle is still in its early infancy, there is a chance that it will never work, heavily investing in it at this stage is highly risky. Japan is a very good evidence that it does not work, not on the scale of the size of Japanese economy at least.
There is no reason for China to compete with anybody including Europe for the moment, just keep it a small scale experiment in China and watch the development elsewhere would be the best strategy. China's advantage is that it is large, meaning its own market is enough to sustain a full scale eco-system to breed any new technology, the best example is TD-SCDMA LTE/4G and 5G. The dominant 5G is TD scheme which is a Chinese invention during 4G time. That means with the sheer size, China can quickly dominant anyone even if China is a bit late (like 4G) so long as China stay in the game.
Maybe that's why Liz Truss resigned? Because she saw the extent of the mess that the UK is in, and the coming train wreck that Britain is gonna be in the near future. Perhaps its better to be remembered as the PM that served for 45 days, than the PM who presided over Britain's ruin.
Rushi Sunak, as far as I can tell, desires mostly the power and prestige of the PM position, not really the responsibility. I don't think the concept of shame and accountability is present in his DNA, and we all know why. Perhaps Sunak will likely be remembered as the PM who lead Britain into finally becoming a 3rd world nation. Maybe Sunak will last even longer than Truss, fighting to stay on as PM long after he loses all support. Until the UK govt have to finally force him out one day. Then, at least the British historians can claim that it was a coloured PM, not a white one who lead Britain down into the 3rd world.
