Instead of admitting that China can make cheaper cars, they immediatly assume that it is because of subsidies (because they can't belive that asians who aren't "honorary whites" like the japanese can make good stuff that is also cheaper). Combining that with their support for real, authentic nazis in Ukraine, I think it is fair to call them nazis.

I do not know about what the guy on the picture said, but I do know that Putin visited New York after 9/11 to pay respects to the victims

That's TikTok, from a private corporation. They do not represent the CPC or the Chinese Government.

I remember that there is a quote from Engels where he says that while the material conditions do have influence on humans, humans can and do influence the material conditions of the world.
If any comrade can find this quote and link it on a reply to my comment I would be grateful.
That is true, I did not think of that perspective. I agree with you.
I think maybe OP is not good at english and is expressing himself poorly. Maybe the war is a part of the agenda of the meeting.
(source: I'm bad at english and I have a lot of experience in expressing myself poorly)
I agree. By being confrontational from the beginning, OP would be definetly a bad person. Only be confrontational if they become confrontational. If they start saying bullshit, just argue calmly and respectfully.
Yes, but as I said, we already have all that infrastructure in Brazil, and it is way cheaper to get people to use ethanol than to get them to switch to electric in the short term.
Carbon neutrality in automotives are a means to an end, which is to get transportation to net-zero. To actually get to net-zero, the only real way would be to get everyone to use public transit (there is not enough electricity in the world for powering a electric fleet of millions of cars). So, I still think that as a temporary solution until public transit becomes good enough of an option, electric cars are (at least in Brazil) way worse than regular cars running on ethanol.
In other countries, electric cars may be better, especially on countries from the imperial core (western Europe, USA, Canada, Japan) becase the population has enough money to buy EVs if they get cheaper. But in poorer, overexploited countries, most people can't even buy a new gasoline-powered car from the dealership, so why would they buy a new electric-powered car from the dealership? They will obviously just continue to buy used gasoline-powered cars like normal.
What the fuck...
