World News@quokk.au•Testing suggests Google's AI Overviews tell millions of lies per hour
3·7 days agoThis isn’t limited to Google’s AI but true for all of LLMs. But as we all know, they are not ‘lying’ but rather just repeating the ‘lies’ they have learned.

World News@quokk.au•In tight global market, well-positioned China resells record LNG volumes
1·12 days agoMost analysts predicted this as a realistic scenario weeks ago due to Beijing’s stock pile, but they also said that China will be in trouble soon if and when the war persists as most of the country’s energy comes from Venezuela and the Middle East.

86·18 days agoWhat an absurdly weird comment. You want oil? You get oil.
China is not only a decisive supporter of Russia in its war against Ukraine, it’s been bullying practically all its neighbours in Asia. Beijing’s envoys have openly threatened foreign government officials (as Japan’s PM) and other countries’ populations (Japan, Australia), and threatening Taiwan. A Chinese envoy in Europe claimed that former Soviet-states (like Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, and all others) have ‘no effective status’ in international law. And this is just a TINY sample of what China stands for.
Saying it’s not a ‘conflict type’ is absurd. China isn’t a reliable partner, and it doesn’t get better because the U.S. gets worse.

63·18 days agoYes, don’t buy from Russia, the U.S., and China. It wouldn’t make sense to replace dependence on fossil fuels by dependence on renewable technology from the regime in Beijing. The is often forgotten imo.

World News@quokk.au•Global Arms Trade Up Amid China, Russia Tensions
2·1 month agoThere is a war in Ukraine after Russia invaded the country. China has been playing war games around Taiwan while Beijing has been increasing its aggression practically in the entire South China Sea. It’s noteworthy that the Chinese government has been increasing its military budgets in the last 30 years which is another threat to its neighbours in the region.

It’s clearly said in the report, and the conclusions are very clear and reasonably.

World News@lemmy.world•China's smartest students used to chase tech and finance jobs. Now, they're choosing manufacturing.English
1·1 month agoThe same outlet reported yesterday:
The ‘Chinese Dream’ is shrinking for Gen Z
… Beijing reported [its] economy hit its 5% GDP growth target [in 2025. Exports held up. Industrial output stayed resilient …
Many young Chinese millennials and Gen Zers, who are trading down on everything from fashion to career ambition, are gripped in a deep sense of morass. The stepping stones to a solid, middle-class life seem to be sinking away, and the promise of long-term financial stability is crumbling as the housing market does the same.
“Even though a recession has not taken place, a lot of the symptoms of recession have been experienced by this young generation, particularly around unemployment and underemployment,” [says] Zak Dychtwald, who runs consumer research firm Young China Group …
Youth unemployment is high — around 17% — and that number also doesn’t capture the growing number of graduates taking jobs they never expected to need. Last year, Chinese social media lit up after a Ph.D. graduate posted about turning to food delivery work. Around the same time, a gas company announced it was recruiting graduates and postgraduates as meter readers.
“College education has become much more attainable for young adults,” said Zhou Yun, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Michigan. “Yet the returns to college education have not kept pace.”
You’ll find many of similar stories about China. It seems the Chinese students and graduates are unfortunately chasing whatever job they can get as the economy has been loosing spin for a long time. It’s not that great as their government wants to make the world believe.

42·2 months agoNews from October 2025: China overtakes US as Germany’s top trading partner
Maybe it’s just me, but there are so-called ‘news’ all over the place - everywhere, but particularly on Lemmy - that frequently hail China for all kinds of things, although nothing is new (and often it’s not even true).
Some of these ‘China great’ articles appear over and again with more or less the same content, sometimes just with slightly different framing. To me this feels like cheap propaganda. I firmly believe this is not organic but part of an orchestrated disinformation campaign, not in the least as many of these infinite loops here on Lemmy come from OP.

The KMT is not a ‘status-quo party’ but a branch of the Chinese Communist Party parroting CCP propaganda as so many so-called ‘tankies’ here do, too.
