Can we just nuke china? they dont seem to give a gently caress about anything besides making money, at the cost of human life and the environment.

They'll probably nuke back. Also, everyone else will start nuking if an entire arsenal starts flying.

I often hear some people say that they like China because there's "no PC culture." But there are all sorts of silly things you can't say without suffering butthurt criticism thrown your way. It's almost as if "no PC culture" is code for "I can say lovely things about minorities and women and I won't be criticized because no one here has a frame of reference for what I'm saying."

It's hardly code, it's exceedingly obvious

With regards to farming practices, if anyone wants to seriously goon out over problems facing farmers out in the area, this report on rice farming in Myanmar is pretty good, thorough and also much of it is applicable to many Chinese farmers. One thing to keep in mind is that the difference in "Chinese culture" of farmers in China is far away from the "Chinese culture" of nerds watching dancing cosplaying girls on Bilibili in Beijing or Chinese financiers in Shanghai or even electronics factory workers in Shenzhen. To ask "why haven't they learned better practices yet?" is silly because these people have been almost completely left behind by China's supposed ascendance over the past few decades. You have to keep in mind that when we talk about the current "largest human migration" of Chinese from the countryside to the city, that is almost purely in one direction and that's with regards to people as well as development and information. So when you have a bunch of farmers who don't get people going out to educate them on farming practices, their information and learning process becomes, "Well Li Wei's crop last year did well and he used 3x as much of this particular brand of fertilizer, so if I do the same thing I should get the same result!" To expect scientific analysis of soil in most of these areas is just laughable.

Coolguye posted:fertilizer is not pH neutral. nitrogen is delivered to the soil in the form of ammonium, this is true of both synthetic fertilizer and organic ones made from manure. the ammonium seeps into the soil, breaks down, and releases both digestible nitrogen and......H+ ions. Also doesn't nitrogen just positively effect green growth and too much is detrimental to flowering/fruiting/seeding (which needs potassium, magnesium and other trace elements instead). I've seen people use high nitrogen fertilizers and get a good size plant but nothing growing on it, flowers just drop off. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Sep 8, 2017 |

That's kinda driven a lot of the water use growth in the past decades and there's still billions of people that could start really eating meat - and likely would want to as a status symbol.

Beijing has had enough, they too have banned more new shared bikes. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41197341 quote:Beijing has become the latest city in China to ban new shared bikes as the country battles against two-wheel traffic chaos and safety concerns in urban areas. I still don't know how you would make a profit in the long term due to the attrition rate.I assume the companies officers are embezzling faster than African warlords.
