    China’s advantage is that it isn’t burdened by capitalism.

      Yup, a slave labor force, near zero worker protections, and zero shits given makes production go up. Who knew?

        Yes and don’t forget Dispensable. Also if you want to build a nuclear powerplant in China, you can just start building and be done in 2 years. In Europe you have to adhere to silly rules which makes the build process 5 or 10 times as long.

        Of course there’s a lot to be said about this whole ordeal. Many of which you have allready (rightfully) stated. Another one is that it gives them a very real advantage in the race for green energy (regardless of the costs).
