A nuclear fusion reactor in China, dubbed the "artificial sun," has broken its own record to bring humanity one step closer to near-limitless clean energy.
The data gathered by EAST will support the development of other reactors, both in China and internationally. China is part of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program, which involves dozens of countries, including the U.S., U.K. Japan, South Korea and Russia.
Is the argument here that China isn’t worthy of the United States’ cooperation? We here in the US need to get over ourselves and stop acting as if we have the moral high ground over everyone else. There are a lot of things about the US that are far from humane, and we do cooperate with countries that engage in far worse, often on our behalf. Our adversarial disposition towards China has nothing to do with human rights and everything to do with geopolitics.
They weren’t just asking China to be more humane, though. They were suggesting that China doesn’t deserve our cooperation because they are inhumane, which implies we have the moral high ground and is explicitly hypocritical. It isn’t whataboutism to point out hypocrisy.
Yeah more humane like Israel… America has been installing dictators all around the world for decades what are you talking about? You think America cares about humanity? You cant even birth a child without a $10,000+ bill.
We topple democratically-elected leaders because it suits our economic plans. People downvoting the above comment don’t know shit about history. And that’s because our schools don’t accurately teach it.
im pretty sure almost unilaterally, every country would like the solution to near infinite energy regardless. its extremely vital if as a species, ever want to start a colony outside of earth.
the only people against it would be those in the pocket of other forms of energy monetary wise.
That is one technology that I don’t care if China steals secrets to make it happen faster.
No need!
If we were a smarter society, we’d end our stupid cold war with them and cooperate.
If they were a more humane society, we likely would.

More like if they were willing to embrace capitalistic western values and bend over for America whenever we’re feeling frisky
Thinking that china isn’t capitalist just because the ruling party has communist in the name is funny
Never said they weren’t. Just that it doesn’t align with capitalistic western values.
More humane like Nazi-America, or more humane like Warcrimes-Russia? Description unclear, please clarify.
To clarify, what you’re doing is “what-aboutism”. Asking China to be more humane is not a comment on anything but China being more humane.

China could stand to be more humane, but it wouldn’t make the US cooperate with them.
Try to read up and understand what whataboutism means. Because you clearly didn’t get the point of my comment.
More humane like the best of us wish to be and the majority of us never will be
More humane as in respecting human rights I suppose
Is there a state that is not disrespecting human rights ? I for one haven’t heard of any.
Degrees in hell maybe.

Post-scarcity society def scares capitalists.
