Good luck to them!
I think the only major contribution to humanity the CCP I would respect would be fusion research.
It’s not complicated, just stupid expensive and politically impossible, but if they can figure it out, they have truly provided a transformative humanity.
They’re doing pretty well with solar and electric vehicles too
And poverty eradication. And high speed rail. And smartphone and chip tech, and space program… kind of a long list.

Okay so basic western supremacy, gotcha.
Redditors going from zero to rudyard kipling in 5 seconds.
If only we dissolved all nation states and lived in communes that best reflect everyones individual values.
Mine would have nukes, because I will never trust humanity, no matter how good things get.
It’s silly to act like individual values are some sacred, unassailable thing gifted to everyone’s soul by the heavens, rather than something that came from a combination of inborn human traits and memories*, i.e. they are something that is contingent, changing, and in no way above being questioned.
It’s also silly to act like it makes sense to just have a blanket acceptance of something if it’s an “individual value” even though, when we look at the world, individual values can sometimes be extremely fucked up and we shouldn’t allow people who would enact those values to abuse with impunity.
*“memories” is simplistic, but I don’t think it is catastrophically so.
Your commune would be super lucky if it had anything because small communes (especially isolated sects “never trusting humanity”) are not the best places to make even things like glasses, not to mention atomic weaponry.

I mean, that’s not the CCP, that’s just the Chinese people working like dogs to profit the corrupt party members.
If that’s true then it is also true that Capitalism didn’t do anything for America either. It was Americans working like dogs for the profit of corrupt leaders.
I mean, i thought that was pretty obvious, about the US that is

probably said will be ready in 20-30 years and got mistranslated
Probably pulled that out of your ass.
fusion power will be ready in 20-30 years is a decades old meme
It’s a decades old Western capitalist meme.
no fun allowed outside western capitalism?
Isn’t fusion power not as clean as people say it is?
The Practicalities of actual fusion reactors make this seem a lot less appealing than I think I grew up hearing.
I’m happy to see china continue to pump resources into their clean energy mix, but at the same time it feels like this entire concept might end up being more of a meme than we think.
Man, I wish we (Canada) were that ambitious. I know lemmy hates Elon Musk but I really admire his ambition in technical pursuits. I’m not saying we need more Elon Musks, but we should pursue more grand projects.
“His” All he does is ketamine and buy-up companies that already exist. His workers have all the ambition, however misplaced.
Tokamaks are useless.
Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know what you’re talking about
First wall problems compounded by geometric constraints, fueling, magnetic & corresponding mechanical complexities, particularly over long periods of time where material fatigue sets in due to coils applying heavy, dynamic loading… there’s a lot against tokamaks.
They seem to impress people, and we could all use novel research into MHD. But @Blackdoomax@sh.itjust.works is kind of correct.
