Can anyone verify if this is true? If this is true this means China produces almost as much electricity as USA, India & Russia combined together. And hydropower in China alone produces more electricity than the entire national grid of Japan. Quite hard to believe numb

Bill Gates probably paid by the CCP since he's poor and needs that cash

On a serious note, it's a pity electricity generation doesn't correlate 1 to 1 with GDP. Otherwise China would be by far by the biggest economy. Unfortunately a large portion of electricity goes towards low value manufacturing. That's why the move up the value chain is ever important.

I work for an oil company in US, sit close to security director, today overheard him say they are blocking "all the China stuff" and in one conversation puts WeChat, and Alipay in the same category of threats or bad sites/apps/services as "Onlyfans" and "Ashley Madison"... and they are treating the China branch office like a bastard step child, including revoking the Chinese office branch users/employees from all corporate file share access/network access and basically put them all on locked down mode like quarantine or dmz

From the gist of things this is high level directive from government to criticial infrastructure companies... Biden presidency wont change much, if Huawei is betting on that its naive

The hypocrisy of it all, now they talking about blocking mx records for yandex etc even though they do business with Russia, but dont want to allow "the Russian versions of Gmail" because communications will be read by Russian government.... (apparently some smaller clients dont have their own custom domain and use generic Russian version of Gmail email addresses)

I still remember back in 2008 when Google made a big fuss about Chinese goverment spying on gmail account of Chinese dissenters in China, then Gmail forced Https for the whole thing for gmail users in mainland China rather than just the login page ( back when most the web still using http) yet through the Snowden leaks we found out google joined NSA Prism in 2007.... so Google doesnt want Chinese government reading emails of Chinese citizens (or CIA spies) inside China, but yet more than happy to secretly share all of it with US government....

Is China poking fun at U.S.? Lol.

My, how things have changed, riots in Hong Kong, (beautiful sights by Nancy) then Covid in Wuhan (China uncivilized bat eating yellow perils). And people in the west secretly wishing for China's "Chernobyl moment".

And then came Trump's handling of Covid, (drink disinfectant and shine ultraviolet lights up where the sun don't shine). Then came the U.S. riots and Trump's infamous two minutes walk to church. And now Trump's destroying democracy itself!

The old Chinese proverbs is true after all.
May you live in interesting times!
