Prime Minister Mark Carney announces 49,000 #EVs to receive a 6% import tariff annually in Chinese trade deal.
Finally, Canada’s automakers will experience direct competition to push them out of their outdated business models, and consumers will be able to access leading EV technology. Perhaps EVs with low cost #sodiumbatteries?

Simply extracting rare earth minerals is pointless if you can not process & refine them, which is not exactly environmentally friendly.
This is why #China 🇨🇳 dominates the industry, as they can ignore environmental concerns in select regions to perfect these materials.
Most citizens in most nations would not tolerate their environment being ruined over precious elements & greed.
👉🏾 #Venezuela 🇻🇪 has a ton of oil. It also has something else #America 🇺🇸 needs https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/11/economy/minerals-rare-earths-oil-venezuela
So #China 🇨🇳 tried buying a run down former military base in #Greenland 🇬🇱 in 2016, & in 2017-2018, China 🇨🇳 tried building airports in a weird “debt trap diplomacy” agreement. I did not know that!

TIL that after the Malayan Communist Party lost the guerilla war, a bunch of them decamped to Hunan, China, from which they broadcast revolutionary radio ‘Suara Revolusi Malaya’ (voice of the Malayan revolution).
They did so until the 80s, when China ‘opened up’ and Lee Kuan Yew requested that Deng shut down that station. Shortly after, they stopped broadcasting.
This book is a collection of transcripts of those broadcasts over the years

@TimMaddog Also, I'm not sure the military operational level is what has held China back so far. Political and economical factors might be the bigger constraints.
@madeindex
Nothing has ever "held #China 🇨🇳 back" but their own inability. #Russia 🇷🇺 made weak-ass excuses to invade #Ukraine 🇺🇦 three years ago, but #Taiwan 🇳🇫 remains untouched.

Australian Greens statement on US military attack on Venezuela notes how it possibly creates conditions for China to attack Taiwan
"Trump’s assault on Venezuela provides comfort to Vladimir Putin for his aggression in Ukraine, cover for a potential Chinese attack on Taiwan and sets an extremely dangerous precedent."

🇺🇸🇻🇪🇦🇿🇦🇲 I guess we now know that military operations are acceptable and nobody really cares, as long as they’re quick (the #US in #Venezuela, #Azerbaijan in #Nagorno-Karabakh...).
🇺🇦 Seems #Russia would have just had to take #Ukraine faster...
🇹🇼 Meanwhile, the #Chinese military is probably holding a #Taiwan planning party right now - bet.

While you're right about #Trump making invasions "acceptable," #China 🇨🇳 has been testing its ability (i.e., "planning") to take #Taiwan 🇳🇫 for decades, and it hasn't come close to succeeding, so I'm not so sure if #Venezuela 🇻🇪 changes anything in that regard. 🤔

I certainly hope the EU can put the same sanctions on the US for attacking Venezuela as they did on Russia for attacking Ukraine. This is indefensible.

Ironically the two stop gap measures in this potential World War 3 scenario are #NorthKorea 🇰🇵 (who have military defense treaties with China 🇨🇳 & Russia 🇷🇺) & #India 🇮🇳 (who China 🇨🇳 fears could make a move if they invade Taiwan 🇹🇼).
