I live in TW, can confirm this happened in Taiwan, not in China.

We should rename it to the South East Asian Sea, SEAS for short.

Sorry to see you downvoted, but hear me out. If I create a survey, for example, asking: "do we need to carry out a ethnic cleaning on a certain ethnicity of this country?" It implies that:

  1. The survey creator and people who approve of it think that there is a substantial chunk of people who will say yes.

  2. That the idea is a valid one and if you don't agree with it, it is valid for others to think that it is reasonable.

The idea of killing/kicking-out of people based on their race, is a part of what defines racism. The survey which validates such an idea, is racist.

This is why we need more public transport everywhere in the world. Get idiots off the street, but enable them to go to the doctor, school, work, and everything else, so we have less idiots in the future.

They asked you if you're not racist, as if it's normal to be racist??

It's sad to see how people get manipulated to the point that they can't understand that even a natural population growth without immigration can cause a housing crisis, if we don't build and maintain the houses. And immigrants come to work anyway, which provides a disproportionately high value to the economy compared to what most of them are paid.

It boils down to political will to efficiently fund the transition. We can let planes fly - no simple solution to that. Put subsidies for green steel - currently costlier, not many companies will adopt too soon Build more public transport - fuck dem cars Enable remote work Invest in farmers to make the transition to electric tractors, then cut out gas subsidies

These are doable today, the funds should come easily if we don't let billionaires get away without paying taxes. Side note: 1 billion is a tremendous amount of money, but the top billionaires are worth 200 billions!!!

You can start the switch early to get used to it 😉

They're playing the long game, at this rate they'll soon have no winter to worry about, it will be 25°C in the winter and there's no heating needed so no more energy demand spikes! /S

Not sure if I can be helpful but lately there are several manufacturing sectors trying to reduce their footprint in China and move to Vietnam or India, for a mix of reasons (rising labor cost in China, geopolitical tension implying potential supply chain disruption). The US promoting their relations with Vietnam means there will be trade deals (free trade maybe?) which will incentivize manufacturers to move their production there, potentially away from China.
