China is not merely moving more goods; it is exporting a new, ruthlessly efficient production model powered by automation, AI and state-guided industrial optimization. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/04/world/chinas-unbeatable-new-export/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #chineseeconomy #automation #ai #production #trade #deepseek #evs
One thing I liked about #Greenpeace was that they always made an effort to include social factors in their reports or research, and not have it just be about #climate or #environment.
Yet, in this report, no mention of any #humanrights, or #labor issues in #EVs. Purely a climate ranking.
It is because it includes #China?

｢ In China, more wind turbines and solar panels were installed last year than in the rest of the world combined. And China’s clean energy boom is going global. Chinese companies are building electric vehicle and battery factories in Brazil, Thailand, Morocco, Hungary and beyond ｣

China's BYD has achieved 5-minute charging for #EVs. In that time, BYD's new model boosted its battery from 13 to 60 percent. That's three times as fast as the top EV chargers in the United States. https://spectrum.ieee.org/byd-megawatt-charging?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

“Tony #Blair has decided to mimic Nigel #Farage on #NetZero and sounds like he is speaking on behalf of petro-states like Saudi Arabia & Kazakhstan for whom he has lobbied for more years than he was PM.
It is vital that the government distance itself from this latest dodgy dossier from Blair and turn its attention instead to what the Climate Change Committee is saying today. Their report could not be clearer: we are woefully unprepared for the impacts of climate breakdown”
Carla #Denyer
“This new report [from Tony #Blair Institute] is muddled and misleading.
There is far more progress being made around the world to #decarbonise the global economy than it suggests.
For instance, China is the world’s leading producer and domestic deployer of #renewables and #EVs. Its power generating capacity from renewables has now exceeded that of fossil fuels and its emissions are likely to peak in the next two years.”
Nicholas Stern (Blair’s #climate advisor when in office)
