Vielleicht haben die Chinesen einfach ein besseres Angebot gemacht?
Laut R.D. Precht beim neuesten J&N-Auftritt sind das ja möglicherweise bessere Diplomaten, als unsere westlichen Wertepartner.
(Aber andererseits ist Precht natürlich ein Idiot, der sich von Agenten der kommunistischen Partei Chinas beraten lässt, und es diplomatisch unklug findet, deren Chef in aller Weltöffentlichkeit einen Diktator zu nennen, bloß weil er sexistische Ressentiments gegen Annalena Charlotte Alma hegt...)

Any Guess?
Ja aber das geht doch nur mit total unfairer industrieller Überkapazität!
Country on track reach 1,200GW of installed wind and solar capacity by end of 2024 – six years ahead of Beijing’s target
Alles anzeigen[...] The researchers only looked at solar farms with a capacity of 20MW or more, which feed directly into the grid. That means that the total volume of solar power in China could be much higher, as small scale solar farms account for about 40% of China’s solar capacity.
The findings underscore China’s leading position in global renewable energy production at a time when the US is increasingly worried about Chinese overcapacity and dumping, particularly in the solar industry.
China has experienced a boom in renewables in recent years, encouraged by strong government support. Xi Jinping, China’s president, has stressed the need for “new quality productive forces”, a slogan which signifies a desire to pivot China’s economy towards technology and innovation. Xi has said that “new quality productive forces” includes strengthening green manufacturing.
Between March 2023 and March 2024, China installed more solar than it had in the previous three years combined, and more than the rest of the world combined for 2023, the GEM analysts found. China is on track to reach 1,200GW of installed wind and solar capacity by the end of 2024, six years ahead of the government’s target.[...]
China’s power grid remains reliant on coal, which officials see as necessary to mitigate the intermittency of renewable energy. And officials often see the coal industry as being a safe way to boost local GDP figures, although clean energy sectors are now the biggest driver of China’s economic growth, accounting for 40% of GDP expansion in 2023.
Analysts say that better storage and grid flexibility is necessary to efficiently use the increasing volume of clean energy being generated on China’s wind and solar farms.
The Chinese government is aware of this challenge, naming lithium-ion batteries as one of the “new three” technologies important for creating high-quality growth, along with electric vehicles and solar panels. Last year, $11bn was invested in grid-connected batteries, an increase of 364% on 2022.
The GEM report also highlighted China’s lead in actually building planned renewable energy infrastructure. The 339GW of wind and solar that has reached the construction stage represents one-third of proposed projects, far surpassing the global construction rate of 7%.
“China’s renewable energy pipeline is two times larger than the rest of the world,” Li said. “But the question we should increasingly ask ourselves is, how come the rest of the world is so slow?”

Nearly 250 years after the publication of Adam Smith’s ‘The Wealth of Nations’ and the West has lost the economic plot
Alles anzeigenA common narrative bandied about by the Western business press is that China’s subsidized industries destroy value because they are not profitable – from residential property to high-speed rail to electric vehicles to solar panels (the subject of the most recent The Economist meltdown).
If The Economist actually knows better and is just doing its usual anti-China sneer, then it is par for the course and we give it a pass. But if this opinion is actually held – and all indications are that it is – then we are dealing with something far more pernicious. 248 years after the publication of Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” and the West has lost the economic plot.
To be unable to comprehend this crucial point is to never have properly understood Adam Smith. “The Wealth of Nations” was never about the pursuit of profits.
They are led by an invisible hand to make nearly the same distribution of the necessaries of life, which would have been made, had the earth been divided into equal portions among all its inhabitants, and thus without intending it, without knowing it, advance the interest of the society, and afford means to the multiplication of the species.
The entire point of enlightened self-interest was supposed to be the secondary/tertiary effects that improve outcomes for all.
It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.
What we want from the butcher, the brewer and the baker are beef, beer and bread, not for them to be fabulously wealthy shop owners. What China wants from BYD and Jinko Solar (and the US from Tesla and First Solar) should be affordable EVs and solar panels, not trillion-dollar market-cap stocks. In fact, mega-cap valuations indicate that something has gone seriously awry. Do we really want tech billionaires or do we really want tech?
The business press has fallen into an at best lazy understanding of value creation. At worst, neoliberal befuddlement has damaged the brains of policymakers, rendering them incapable of diagnosing economic ills. [...]
The saddest creatures in late-stage capitalism are cheerleaders who own little equity but root for mega-cap companies like sports teams. With 54% of total US market cap held by 1% of the population, it’s a given that these confused devotees far outnumber the real beneficiaries.
Perhaps that is the end-state of the modern proletariat – to be stupefied fanboys celebrating their neoliberal serfdom. This writer thinks they would be better off worshipping Elon Musk a little less and demanding affordable cars a little more, but that’s just my opinion. [...]
Der Autor "Han Feizi" scheint ein Mysterium zu sein, wel seine genaue Identität nicht bekannt ist. Vermutlich ist er Chinese und verteidigt auch durchaus den Kurs der chinesischen Regierung, aber er behauptet im Artikel auch, dass Marx mit seiner Kritik des Proftmotives falsch, und Adam Smith mit seinem Lob desselben richtig gelegen habe. Er scheint also eher für Kapitalismus "mit chinesischem Charakter", als für den von der kommunistischen Partei Chinas immer noch propagierten Sozialismus zu plädieren.
Alles anzeigen[...] That Karl Marx and Adam Smith had the same end goal seems not to be well understood. What Adam Smith got right and Karl Marx got wrong is that the profit motive can produce superior outcomes, but only when it operates paradoxically. In other words, profits need to be competed away – at least in the long term.
The mechanics of capitalism are responsible for much of the confusion. Because the invisible hand of the market is supposed to be guided by the enlightened self-interest of participants, profits become the focus of finance and, regrettably, economics if only because so much infrastructure has been devoted to its measurement.
With the explosion of MBA programs and undergraduate business courses, every two-bit graduate of Western universities has a working knowledge of accounting, financial statement analysis and valuation models.
Unfortunately, all of that is at best half the story – the producer surplus part of the supply/demand chart. The consumer surplus portion of is of little interest because 1) nobody is making any money off of it and 2) there is no reliable methodology to measure it. Universities are not crawling all over each other to offer Master of Consumer Advocacy programs.
What China has done in industry after industry is to flatten the supply curve by subsidizing hordes of producers. This spurs innovation, increases output and crushes margins. Value is not being destroyed; it’s accruing to consumers as lower prices, higher quality and/or more innovative products and services.
If you are looking for returns in the financial statements of China’s subsidized companies, you are doing it wrong. If China’s subsidized industries are generating massive profits, policymakers should be investigated for corruption. [...]
Über Marx vs. Smith kann man sich sicher streiten, aber der interessante Punkt ist, dass er behauptet, im Westen verstehe man einfach nicht, dass die chinesische Führung den kapitalistischen Wettbewerb ganz bewusst dazu instrumentalisiere, die Konkurrenten zu möglichst niedrigen Preisen - und damit zu eher geringen Profiten - zu bewegen, weil der ganze Zweck der Industrialisierung für sie eben - und damit würden sie dann doch wieder eher kommunistischen Grundsätzen folgen - nicht der geldwerte Gewinn, sondern die Versorgung der Massenbevölkerung mit möglichst erschwinglichen Industrieprodukten ist.
Solange da nicht der Weltführungsanspruch aufgegeben wird, ist das erstmal nur der Aufruf (wieder?) besser zu täuschen.

ZitatItaly and China sign a 3-year action plan as Italian leader Meloni tries to reset relations
BEIJING (AP) — Italy and China signed a three-year action plan on Sunday to implement past agreements and experiment with new forms of cooperation, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on an official visit to the Chinese capital.
Aber die Rückkehr unter den Schirm von Yi Dai Yi Lu ist es wohl nicht:
ZitatHer five-day visit comes several months after Italy dropped out of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a signature policy of Chinese leader Xi Jinping to build power and transportation infrastructure around the world to stimulate global trade while also deepening China’s ties with other nations.
Still, Italy remains keen to pursue an otherwise strong economic relationship with China. [...]

ZitatAlles anzeigenUS weighs new limits on chip exports to China, but with some major exceptions
The US is preparing new rules to restrict other countries from exporting semiconductor chips to China, according to reports. These kinds of chips are crucial for advanced computing and artificial intelligence technology.
The restrictions could make exceptions, however, for shipments from some US allies, including Japan, the Netherlands, and South Korea, Reuters and Bloomberg reported. Shares in ASML, a Dutch firm that makes chip printing machines, surged on the reports.
The rules would be the latest in a series of blocks designed to stop Beijing from getting its hands on advanced semiconductor chips or the means to make them itself, as the US tries to maintain a technological edge over the country.
Ich vermute allerdings der Schaden lässt sich nicht mehr wirklich beheben. Die Chinesen haben schon sehr viel investiert und werden weiter darauf hinarbeiten, alle Halbleiter, die sie benötigen heimisch herstellen zu können. Und das wird diese Unternehmen vermutlich mindestens aus dem chinesischen Markt drängen.

Beijing has established itself as a top medal contender, but its athletics no longer signal openness to the rest of the world.
