23h 1m ago in world@quokk.au from www.reuters.com"Nepal faces a huge trade deficit with China," Nepal's foreign minister said.
It's the same pattern everywhere.
According to related report, Nepal reaffirms ‘One China’ policy as China raises concerns over Western influence, it says,
Nepal’s adherence to the “One China” policy—which explicitly designates Tibetan affairs as China’s internal matter—has severely constrained the rights and safety of Tibetans living in Nepal. Driven by Beijing’s economic and security pressures, the Nepali government has suppressed the Tibetan community’s civil, cultural, and political freedoms.
Under strict conditions prohibiting “anti-China” activities, Nepal routinely detains Tibetans who stage peaceful protests, particularly during high-level Chinese diplomatic visits or around sensitive anniversaries like the Dalai Lama’s birthday. The community faces heavy surveillance by security forces. Tibetans are largely prevented from celebrating traditional cultural festivals, including the Tibetan New Year, or openly displaying images of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
This is political coercion and economic cooperation that benefits only China as usual.

1d 20h ago in world@quokk.au from thehill.comThe secret sauce of “Made in China”
4d 5h ago in china@sopuli.xyz from yellowlion.orgWestern companies once relocated to China for low wages. That time has long passed. Today, the average net spendable income of Chinese workers often exceeds that of their European counterparts. The median monthly take-home pay in China is close to the EU average. After adjusting for purchasing power and lower prices, Chinese workers now keep more of what they earn.
What is the source for this?
The 2025 disposable income per capita PPP (Purchasing Power Parity, meaning income is adjusted for purchasing power as stated in the linked article) in China is USD 12,236.
In Western Europe, it is more than USD 24,000, which is roughly the same as in Japan.
In Canada it is USD 28,000, in Australia and New Zealand more than USD 32,000.
If you think Oxford Economics is a biased source for whatever reason: according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the disposable personal income in China in 2025 stood at CNY 56,500. This is some USD 8,300 at the exchange rate at the time of this writing, so even lower.
Female workforce participation drives productivity.
The female labour income share in 2024 in China stood at 36.5%.
In Germany it was 37.3%. In New Zealand, Australia, the U.S. around 40%. In the UK it stood at 42%, n Canada more than 43%, in France almost 44%.
[Source, in this site you'll also see that China has been experiencing a widening inequality in term of wealth an income, particularly in the last decade.]
I could go ahead with this, but I haven't got enough time. You'll find better sources than this propaganda link.
The 'secret sauce' of made in China is forced labour and a 996 working culture in a country where workers' rights are effectively non-existent and unions forbidden. The only union allowed in China is the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), and it is part of the Chinese Communist Party.

China's EV shift cut pollution enough to prevent 262,000 deaths
8d 5h ago in china@sopuli.xyz from electrek.coChina's air pollution has improved in recent years, but it comes from very high pollution levels, and the country still ranks among the highest-polluted in the world.
According to IQAir, a non-profit organization, Chinese cities rank among the most polluted in the world as no Chinese city ranks among those with an air quality considered to be 'good'.
This article is based on a Chinese study using data gained from machine learning, not real data. Conducting independent air quality studies comprising Chinese air quality data is difficult, as one study suggests (opens pdf),
The technical solutions China uses for its data-sharing platform also have limitations that can prevent outside access.
This is just another propaganda article based on purely Chinese sources posted by an apparent sock puppet that is permanently cross-posting from ml communities.
Video - Why Students From the U.S. and Around the World Study Medicine in Cuba
8d 21h ago in world@quokk.au from peertube.worldI didn't watch the video. Are there any numbers how many students studied in Cuba? This seems to be more propaganda than a news.

9d 7h ago in electricvehicles@slrpnk.net from electrek.coI apologize for my mistake. I cross-posted my comment from another thread where the user cm0002@literature.cafe has also posted this, and they are frequently spreading Chinese propaganda. I should have done better and looked at the poster. My comment wasn't addressed to you. My bad, sorry.

How does China aim to hit climate targets? It rewrites the rules
9d 12h ago in world@quokk.au from www.thetimes.comThis is outright disinformation apparently aimed to distract from China's bad faith actions and has nothing to do with the topic.
This makes neither sense nor is it fair, and it is done in bad faith. The Chinese government has been cooking the books for its trade and economic stats for a long time (just look how Beijing changed the way at the start of the pandemic how they 'measure' the country's trade, for example), and so it does with climate actions. Next year, Chinese propagandists will report how gloriously they are fighting climate change, while falsely accusing independent scientist of being biased who prove that China's climate actions are highly insufficient.
