worthy...

This week on Sinica, Kaiser and Jeremy speak with Henry Sanderson, a former AP and Bloomberg reporter who was based in China for many years, about his book Volt Rush: The Winners and Losers in the Race to Go Green — a book that reminds us of the very ugly fact that the metals that are needed to make electric vehicle batteries need to be dug out of the earth, and processed in ways that are anything but environmentally friendly. Henry talks about China’s outsize role in lithium, cobalt, and nickel processing, as well as some promising chemistries that allow for EV batteries without some of the problematic metals.

like every other country on earth that is more than 400 years old, nambia has a pretty brutal past
still some serious child labor atrocities and human trafficking today
and obviously two wrongs don't make a right 
silly whataboutism is trotted out like it is some sort of legit answer/response
whataboutism only makes sense when it is wielded by a principled person

US Hegemony and Its Perils

Introduction

I. Political Hegemony—Throwing Its Weight Around

II. Military Hegemony—Wanton Use of Force 

III. Economic Hegemony—Looting and Exploitation

IV. Technological Hegemony—Monopoly and Suppression

V. Cultural Hegemony—Spreading False Narratives

Conclusion


Good read.  Rather accurate for "communist propaganda".  

I sometimes watch the TV show FBI International.   The extra-territorial behaviour is way over the top.  I wonder how many American viewers actually realize this or does this kind of 'entertainment' simply add to their strong sense of righteous entitlement?
