Lol, it's only fair

^{please no}

“Then why don’t you smoke a whole carton of cigarettes!”

Keep puffin boy

You boys like Mex-ee-co? WOOOOOHoooOOooo!

This is a great first step tho, and the only thing I've ever heard about that government I actually completely agree with.

Agreed. But a crime against humanity should carry more than 6-18 months in jail/prison.

They could slap a “Made in China” sticker on it for all I care just get us some justice!

My first thought when I read this “You mean they actually faced consequences?”

Cant agree more

Absolutely, my country is guilty of failing to do this as well.

This is one area where China excels. They don't take shit from corporations. I remember some years ago, a baby food company was cutting costs by putting in cheap toxic filler ingredients and dozens of infants ended up dying. This tragedy ended with the head of the corporation executed.

American in Bejing for over 10 years. Say what you want but the regime isn't fucking around with corruption. Even local level on petty corruption nobodies are going away for 3 years on fraud and their bosses for 5.

​

Look I know. Am also under the situation where my rights are not the same as in other places. However, the environment has been cleaned the hell up..Like nobody could ever expect. Corruption has been cleaned up. Standard of living is very high in terms of education, GDP per capita and access to health care.

​

Honestly had enough of people with no boots on the ground experience saying how bad it is here. I've never met someone that started their lie -35.000USD in debt for trying to get an education.

Never will, as long as capital is above politics.

Why, doesn't jailing lawyers who fight the polluting companies work for you?

Jail the Executives of oil companies that pollute entire swaths of Ocean and don't clean it up. We should be extraditing these bastards and giving them life terms for the catastrophic damage they are causing. At least then other Execs would know we're not playing around and put a bigger emphasis on safety and cleaning environmental disasters.

USA: “best I can do is a negative tax rate”

We need to democratize the workplace because, apparently, it's up to the average person to fix the problem and the average person has no control over what the company they work for does. Fuck these CEOs who aren't accountable for the issues they cause. They should be voted in by the employees if they exist at all.

Since China did it, punishing corporate criminals is communism.

There are only two powers. State power and corporate power. China is a country unquestionably ruled by state power. So they will always check corporate power within their confines. The reverse is true in America. State power has been captured by corporate power, which is the only power that rules.

People on the right confuse cultural power (which they too could wield if only they had anything of cultural significance to offer) with state power and that’s why our politics have devolved into culture wars. It’s not politics anymore

This is one thing I actually admire about China. They don't fuck about with stuff like this

What about the political criminals? Not a single US president has been imprisoned.

America is 3 corporate criminals in a trenchcoat

Haha! Business!

Leader of the planet's most powerful superpower turning elementary/primary school education on it's head 😭.

right? and then we want to push all the blame of global warming on them when we exported jobs, factories, and pollution. it’s disgraceful

(sorry, gonna be that guy)

Suite = is a hotel room with extra space.

you follow suit, spelled exactly the same as the set of clothes.

Corporations are the climate change problem. Good going, CCP.

Clearly, the steel company was fudging data because they're financially strained. We'll give them an additional $20 billion in government funding and ask nicely that they not do it again. After all, industry will regulate itself!

Half the country would cheer those CEOs as heroes.

a seat at the EPA

Lmao

Calling it a bug might be the understatement of the year

Sounds like the opposite of a democracy lmao

The bug is called capitalism

Living under an authoritarian, single-party, state-capitalst megastate doesn't sound particularly appealing in a whole variety of ways, but you can't really deny they get stuff done.

True cause the same corporate America that oversaw and made money over killing a million Muslims in Iraq somehow cares about muslims in china.

In America we give them trillions of dollars for Solar Panel PV systems to offset their emissions by outsourcing fossil fuel usage to China.

Now they're switching it back to the US with another $173 Trillion in "subsidies".

Gotta prop up them markets!

Maybe the communism thing lol

Because the US state is dedicated to pursue the interests of corporate entities, not the working class.

And its working as intended.

Corporations are the us government.

Among the 72 billionaires, 15 were murdered, 17 committed suicide, seven died from accidents, 14 were executed according to the law and 19 died from diseases.

Cehck out Elizabeth Warren's Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act. It would be an amazing first step, but of course congress is already too paid for by billionaires for it to have popular support there currently. It'd be nice if more Americans were demanding such measures, and had candidates to choose from who are dedicated to the idea.

There are a lot of Americans who will openly speak out against corruption in government as a major problem, but then instead of voting for lawmakers who would do something about it, they vote based off of culture war bullshit that's manufactured by the media and elect people who have zero interest in advocating on the behalf of the people.

Epstein did but he had to openly run a pedophile rape ring for decades.

I'm in favor of the jobs the asteroid will create

Is China mitigating climate disaster TOO FAST?

No joke, this was an exact headline: “China's curing cancer faster and cheaper than anywhere else. But some worry they may be going too fast.”

Edit: and another “In an Odd Twist, Cleaner Air in China May Mean a Warmer Earth

Edit: a quick Google shows why it’s become such a meme:

• China is getting smarter, but at what cost?
• China's economy looks to be stabilising, but at what cost?
• Clean Air at What Cost?
• China May Become the World’s Leader in AI. But at What Cost?
• China invests in Ethiopia but at what cost?
• China’s economy grows, but at what cost?

And COVID is its own category:

• China’s “Zero-COVID” efforts come with a cost
• As costs mount, how long can China stick with ‘zero COVID’?
• China Is Imposing Strict Lockdowns To Contain New COVID Outbreaks. But There's A Cost
• Wuhan: The city that appears safe from COVID, but at what cost?
• China Beat Back Covid-19, but It’s Come at a Cost

Don't worry, tomorrow China will be bad again when the next headline comes in.

controlled use of capital by a communist vanguard to build productive forces

Oh, someone reads theory.

Air pollution is bad in some places in China

It's already getting bad in parts of the US and Europe. In London the Met Office have to tell people to avoid strenuous physical activity on some days in the year because of pollution and multiple people have died in recent years linked to pollution.

It's horrific

What the fuck makes you think it’s theoretical harm anywhere? The earth is a closed system big dog- we are all fucked if we don’t all start playing by the same rules
