I read a paper about the Chinese investing in thorium fission research. What happened with that? Seems like a good idea.

The concept is sound, but some of the engineering bits, especially around handling parts of the fuel cycle need work. It's probably going to take several years of expensive prototyping to hash out the details before anyone is serial producing commercial reactors.

IIRC, India was actually planning on building a thorium plant in the near future, possibly before china.

the purpose of that investment was to generate headlines saying that the investment occurred

this is basically the point of all of china's scientific projects and its an axiom that hasnt led me wrong yet

How are skin diseases in China treated? I'm in my second month in Beijing and I see that regularly on the subway. Are they ignoring that like psychological disorders? (I have Psoriasis and got treated as a kid already so it didn't break out)

I google 'chinese for monitored by CCP' and it gave me this article:

quote:

Chinese government monitoring online activities (including wechat and other social network IMs) is using key words. The government periodically update their sensitive words list, adding and removing sensitive words based on current trend and political environment changes. Chinese neitizens are very creative with their nick names and other "replacement words" for example "猫头鹰" (owl) usually refer to Jiang ze min's wife, while Jiang ze min himself is referred to as "蛤蟆" (toad). The CCP tagline 和谐社会 (harmonious society) was replaced with "河蟹社会" (river crab society) to avoid key word search.

QQ Look Around delivers. I forgot about QQ, but apparently more people in my area are using it for online connections than Wechat.

Her profile "What's up" said something about not commenting on her face.

I misunderstood, I guess when you're being racist based on reality (or reality, as told to you by an internet person), it is entirely different.
