@kravietz@agora.echelon.pl @solar_chase@mastodon.green I've spent time in China and don't need any reminders about Tibet or anything else on the downside. The West doesn't have much in the way of a moral high horse and if China has a near monopoly on solar its precisely because of Chinese long term thinking. As for control of minerals China is perfectly entitled to use geopolitical tools at its disposal. The US hasn't hesitated to do so. US: good, China: bad is tripe. Others will make choices on a more sophisticated basis.

@samueljohnson@mstdn.social @solar_chase@mastodon.green If you haven’t noticed, I’m not living in the US so I’m not quite sure why you bring this unrelated third party to this discussion. And, as you said, if “China is perfectly entitled to use geopolitical tools”, this also implies that EU is entitled to use all tools at its disposal to avoid repeating the Gazprom 2021-2022 fun, isn’t it?
