Okay I misread about the 80% figure. It's more about 50%. They just control 80% of the output through majority stakes.
But Chinese companies are going after all the cobalt in the world. It's their industry that they want to shine in.
"Singapore does it", my boss worked there and told me this week multiple times that Singaporeans are the most selfish ego centered people he has ever met. My wife grew up in Bintan, and she agrees. They are basically the Americans of south east Asia.
The subsidies are trickle down economics, heavily criticised by socialists.
Although income inequality is dropping in china. 0,35 Gini. In USA it's 0,41. But here in the EU, it's 0,29.
And where I live, it's 0,26.
We're still the most socialist.
Be careful next time
That is normal. USA does it too, don't you think?
Why are you talking about your boss and your wife? We're talking about Singapore which also heavily control their population
Source?
Socialism is more than income
And thanks for links
I am not interested in defending China. I want you to know that West is not holy
It is good then. Many oppositions only care about themselves
So the opposition, ml instance, only cares about themselves and thus should be heavily censored?
I thought we were here on Lemmy so that we could choose what content we see and which content we want to upload.
I said "many oppositions only care about themselves" not "all oppositions only care about themselves"
Ah yes, only the opposition that you belong to 😁
How convenient
Yes, it's convenient. I don't have to worry about ethno-nationalists, and chauvinists
You are European. USA will not interfere with your liberal democracy
Maybe you're sleeping under a rock. We're currently rearming because of tensions with the USA.
Right. I am forget. Welcome to the club
