That money could have been spent on other things, such as health care, which might have better served the public: fewer EVs, more ICUs.

Out of all countries FUCKING BURGERLAND accuses China of small healthcare spending?

It's beyond parody at this stage.

Who’s in charge of updating the meme?

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, aint no way someone unironically starts with "Like lord Voldemort" and "but at what cost?"

This might take the record for fastest article i've stopped reading at 1 sentence. "like lord Voldemort", really? I am convinced libs have only read Harry Potter and George orwell.

"but at what cost" in the subheading and "Lord Voldemort" in the first sentence?

Was this generated by an LLM trained on /c/ShitReactionariesSay?

They are completely unaware that "but at what cost" has become a meme. Then they mention Voldemort in the first sentence. And they call him Lord. Journalism, folks.

Edit:

The goal was to turn China into a green and innovative “manufacturing power”, one that relied less on labour and Western supply chains, and more on automation and new home-grown technologies. This was Xi Jinping’s vision for the Chinese economy.

It has, for the most part, been a resounding success.

I cannot bring myself to read from this point on.

Xi refused to make his people do everything the long way round and by hand. How dare he use modern technology to speed up the production process and improve quality.

Unfalsifiable orthodoxy.

Lol i couldn't make it past the lord voldemort sentence but yeah everything past that must be copium.

western-journalist When they have to report something positive about China.

[–] Jin008@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They just can't help themselves from the Harry Potter references

[–] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 6 months ago

Between J.K. Rowling being a nazi bootlicking pedophiliac transphobic racist crakkker-ass kunt, and how neoliberals misconstrue or champion Harry Potter references to refer to non-white people as "orks" any shred of interest that I've ever had in reading or watching anything Harry Potter related is almost gone before I could start.

China has stopped saying its name apparently but there is also an app literally named Made In China to connect global customers with Chinese suppliers 😂

Hey now, let's not let facts get in the way of the newest China collapse theory. 🤣
