All western politicians holding office should be forced to watch an hour of YouTube China infrastructure porn every day until they produce YouTube infrastructure porn videos that get more views and likes than China’s. You can adjust it per-capita if you want to make it easy for them.

Western politician proceeds to start posting actual porn
Don't let Ted Cruz know that, he liked incest porn on Twitter.
Fairly sure some already do
Like when Ted Cruz liked incest porn on a Twitter account
Recently saw a wee story about a candidate for Virginia parliament who is selling homemade porn of herself online. So I was very much not exaggerating
Wow. Idk what to say.
honestly all legislators should be required to have a state-run onlyfans. government for the people by the baddies
Well, Italy uses to have (or still does, I don't know) more than one pornstar in parliament.
The joys of post-PCI dissolution politics.
western nuke bros 
I hope they have a good plan for the resulting high-level nuclear waste. Knowing China, they probably have, but reporting on that is unfortunately very minimal.
Permanent high level waste processing is still in progress, but they plan to process it very deeply under the Gobi desert. They're also developing new techs to aid in disposal, as well as waste recycling.
Do enough reprocessing it's hardly a problem at all
Pro tip Jimmy Carter tried to get the world to forget

Beijing had set a target for 58GW of installed nuclear capacity by 2020, but as of September 2023 is just short of this with a combined installed capacity of 57GW, and 24 units under construction with a total installed capacity of 27.8GW, according to CNEA.
So every unit is a little over one GW? Sounds good, but their plans is to only have 18% nuclear by 2060, so it seems that won't be their most important electricity source.
Here's the energy mix China's planning on by 2060, nuclear is around 19% so looks like it's roughly on target https://www.visualcapitalist.com/chinas-energy-transition-in-5-charts/
I had thought that China was expected to abandon fossil fuels by 2060, but 14% of the total energy will still be derived from fossil fuels. Maybe that is a more realistic outlook on things, though.
2060 is their net zero target. 10 years behind the West, but I'm incredibly confident that one of those is just tortured numbers with carbon offsets like buying trees that will never be cut down. I'll let you guess which
Does anyone know if China makes their own nuclear fuel? Or do they buy it places? I don't mean raw uranium, I mean fuel-ready stuff, as AFAIK only Rosatom and Westinghouse have the technology for that
