China’s EV Boom Threatens to Push Gasoline Demand Off a Cliff
(Bloomberg) -- From Tesla chargers in the ancient alleys that surround the Forbidden City in Beijing to lonely highway rest stops with charging posts in the western deserts, signs of the electrification of China’s transport fleet — and the demise of gasoline — are everywhere.Most Read from Bloomberg...

Sometimes China does good things.
Often times. Most of the bad things you’ve heard were probably made up anti-China propaganda.
Uyghur Genocide
Violating the sovereignty of Taiwan
Unprovoked attacks on boats in nearby international waters
Lying about being communist.
Which of these are made up?
It’s a while ago but you missed one of their earlier genocides, that is still ongoing, in Tibet.
Now also sabotaging European infrastructure. And previously, ehm - COVID (though no one knows how much blame they deserve for that).
I'm frankly willing to give China a pass when it comes to COVID, unless one of the crazy conspiracy theories turn out to be true. I don't really think it's good to hold China to fault on a disease that happened to emerge from within their boarders, regardless of the circumstances that made it more likely to happen there in specific.
My joke conspiracy theory is that it actually originated in the US, just like Spanish Flu, and we managed to infect people in Wuhan before it spread much in some almost unpopulated state like Wyoming, and then we let China take the blame.
I'm joking, I hope.
The sabotaging European infra is actually 3 Russians in a Chinese coat
We'll be able to say the exact same things with Trump in charge soon too unfortunately as well
Hong Kong to...
Uyghur Genocide
Point to the community in Xinjiang that looks like Gaza City
Violating the sovereignty of Taiwan
Imagine China encircling Puerto Rico with its navy, then complaining about the US violating its sovereignty.
Taiwan has been contested territory for centuries. The US attempting to colonize it doesn't reflect poorly on China.
Lying about being communist.
Americans can't decide if China is bad because Communist or bad because Not Communist Enough.
Taiwan doesn’t aim to be a US colony. They aim to be independent.
Taiwan doesn’t aim to be a US colony.
But the US does.
What definition of "Colony" are you using?
I'm not defending American imperialism.
Ah, so just whataboutism
Americans will butcher tens of thousands of people on the opposite side of the China/Afghan border, accuse you of genocide, and say exactly this when they're called on their bullshit.
You understand the list of things China did was a response to the insane comment that most of the bad things we heard of were made up. Do you think they're made up? If not, then you most likely don't have anything meaningful to say about the topic at hand.
Do you think they’re made up?
Exaggerated and embellished to the point of absurdity in order provoke a Red Scare and justify a new war.
most likely don’t have anything meaningful to say
You're buying the same lies that lead us into Iraq.
the same lies that lead us into Iraq
You think China doesn't have nukes?
You seem to have a deep-seated conviction that the information about China is anywhere from false to deeply exaggerated. Do you have any evidence of that, or are you just assuming that everything is an incredibly successful disinformation campaign staged by the US state department and using that as the foundation for all your assumptions?
