Wealth does not necessarily improve quality of life.

Notably, electricity (among other things) is substantially cheaper in Shanghai.

Tbh this is a better signal for academic integrity checks than it is for anything else

It's widely known that a number of individuals at top US universities have been directly implicated in falsification scandals... They just get away with it.

Yeah honestly I don't really understand why Ukraine diverted forces to Kursk. They were dug into strong positions in Donetsk... Positions they've since had to give up as the Russian advance picks up pace.

Maybe Syrskyi saw the writing on the wall and went for a hail mary?

To get an idea of margins:

The BYD Seagull sells under the Dolphin Mini name in South America. The Seagull (see specs) is the BYD's cheapest electric car launched in April last year. Its price range initially lay between 78,800 – 95,800 yuan (10,850 – 13,200 USD)

The Teslas from Shanghai are straight up better than the ones from Fremont... And if we're being honest Shanghai probably has better quality of life than San Jose.

In Canada, Teslas from Shanghai are by far preferable to the ones from Fremont. Something about those Chinese factories man

Anyway, manufacturing in China is a low-skill role that employs a huge proportion of the market. In terms of social/cultural value, its closest parallel in the US would be the retail services sector.

I too love to jail my political competitors after the they successfully split the vote from my real political rival (the KMT) in the last election. A bastion of democracy in East Asia.

The rapid growth in power generation from solar shows that the solar capacity boom is delivering new electricity supplies at a scale sufficient to cover much of China’s demand growth.

This reinforces the view that China’s CO2 emissions are in a period of structural decline.
