China's August export growth slowest in 6 months as US tariff risks mount
""I would say the number is still decent, and the resilience of exports has certainly lasted longer than we had expected," said Xu Tianchen, senior economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit. "The prospect of a fiscal stimulus is definitely quite dim. China still has a number of economic tools such as policy bank credit and monetary easing, which may be enough to help it reach 5%,""
"The [import data] breakdown showed a pickup in energy shipments, but this was more than offset by declines in chip and industrial metal imports, with the latter likely reflecting the continued slowdown in construction activity"
--- & that's much closer to reality.
China Shows Unity With Russia and North Korea, but Divisions Linger
"“China is very cautious about working with these two countries. Unlike what is depicted in the West as them being allies, China is not in the same camp. Its view of warfare and security issues is very different from theirs,” said Tang Xiaoyang, chair of the department of international relations at Tsinghua University, pointing out that Beijing hasn’t fought a war for more than four decades. “What China wants is stability on its borders.”"
--- Yeah, right. That must be why China has so many problems along the borders with pretty much all of its neighbors. This article quotes a lot of Chinese propagandists.
"Clear limits to that bond remain, added Xinbo Wu, dean of the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai. “Neither Russia nor China want to be involved in a major conflict where the other one is involved. If we had a major conflict with the U.S. over the Taiwan issue, I don’t think Russia will come to our assistance,” he said. “We’re good friends, good partners, but that’s it. We will never become allies.”"
--- That part is actually more realistic. China and Russia really don't trust each other and that won't change for a while.
"“Russia took the largest piece of land from China, during the Qing dynasty. In modern history, during the era of humiliation, China suffered mostly from two countries—one is Russia and the other is Japan. People still have vivid memories of the past, and it’s very difficult to forget,” said Wu of Fudan University."
--- Just more bullshit propaganda. Those vivid memories are induced by constant anti-Japanese and anti-Western propaganda in schools, on TV and in movies.
‘There is only one player’: why China is becoming a world leader in green energy
"That display reminded many of the cold war, but it captured only a fraction of China’s far greater modern influence, primarily built on a formidable economy, dramatic advancements in renewable energy, and a willingness to engage globally with the greatest crisis facing humanity: climate breakdown."
--- More Chinese propaganda, this time from The Guardian.
"The contrast could become even more striking once China confirms it has reached a positive tipping point after which it will irreversibly shift away from fossil fuels. Last year, the world’s biggest carbon emitter registered a very slight decline in greenhouse gas output. Many analysts believe this means the country’s carbon use will peak this year or very soon."
--- If you trust Chinese propaganda.
"China may not be in favour of multiparty democracy at home, but on the global stage its officials have made clear it will be a champion of multilateral decision making."
"China sees itself as a leader of the developing world, but as it has grown richer from renewable technology and is increasingly to blame for the climate crisis (it is now the second biggest emitter)"
--- As stated in other parts of the article, the biggest emitter.
