US and the West is talk talk talk, they are almost as bad as India now.
No one ever does anything.
EV plants, semiconductors, Foxconn in Wisconsin. All of these projects is always hype about "stakeholder engagement", "future economic benefits", "x# of jobs", "sustainability"
Look at the Goro mine in New Caledonia, it was supposed to be the future of Nickel production using HPAL technology. 4 billion and they never got it working. China got it working in Indonesia. Now they have the biggest Nickel processing capability. It is really important in NMC batteries for EVs, but the crazy thing is that China is even looking to displace NMC anyway.
Then you hear them talking about "CHINA SUBSIDIZES EVS LIKE CRAZY", then you see Northvolt which was bankrolled by western governments around the world go dead.
HSR in California, nothing more needs to be said...
Even the Brightline in Florida, hailed as a huge success, it only goes 200km/h max speed, and has killed 50 people in 2 years (level crossings for HSR are bad). By comparison, the Wenzhou disaster had 40 deaths and the western news made it seem like HSR in China is a death trap.
Yes hence why not China talk? That’s how you shake down American confidence. The Chinese don’t need to lie. The “truth” is right there in their own media. So there’s nothing wrong in using it.
