Critique The Diplomat - 2025

Critical Assessment of “Tibet Is Paying the Cost for China’s Green Energy Transition”! (18.11.2025)

While acknowledging localized ecological pressures, this critique contends that the original article relies on selective evidence, omits critical hydrological and mining data, embeds politically motivated narratives unsupported by empirical research, and fails to contextualize Tibet’s environmental governance within broader frameworks of high-altitude ecology, state-led development, and global energy transitions. Drawing on peer-reviewed hydrology studies, official mining datasets, and scholarship in critical media studies, this paper systematically evaluates the article’s central claims, highlights significant omissions, and re-situates observed environmental changes within wider climatic, socioeconomic, and regulatory processes. Synthetically generated yet representative hydrological and mining trend data are incorporated to illustrate how a more holistic, data-informed approach fundamentally reframes the narrative.

South Africa: G20 Report Warning of Global Inequality Crisis Unveiled! (6.11.2025)

Drawing on data from the World Inequality Lab, the analysis showed that the world’s richest one percent have increased their average wealth by 1.3 million U.S. dollars since 2000, while the poorest 50 percent gained only 585 U.S. dollars, adjusted for inflation. Though income gaps between individuals have narrowed largely due to growth in China, the wealth divide between the Global North and South remains substantial.

“The world understands that we have a climate emergency; it is time we recognized that we face an inequality emergency too,” said Stiglitz, who chaired the six-member committee behind the report.

Much of the wealth at the top stems from “monopoly power and exploitation,” he said, adding that inequality is “not the laws of nature, but the laws of man.”

China: Breakthrough in Solid-State Batteries Announced – Doubling NEV Range! (17.10.2025)

Chinese scientists have developed a self-adaptive interphase in all-solid-state lithium batteries that maintains intimate contact between the lithium metal anode and solid electrolyte without external pressure, a breakthrough that decisively overcomes a major bottleneck toward commercialization.

The researchers from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the CAS and Huazhong University of Science and Technology found that the contact between the lithium electrode and sulfide solid electrolyte in all-solid-state lithium batteries is not ideal, with numerous tiny pores and cracks present. These issues not only shorten battery lifespan but may also pose safety risks.

The Youth Hold the Future in Their Hands!

Laos: “If Youth are Empowered to Lead – Real Change Follows!” (13.8.2025)

“By first understanding our rights and choices in life, and knowing that our feelings are valid even if we are unsure or afraid, young people can transform from passive to active participants in life,” he says. Through peer education, social media content, and youth-led activities, Anan has taken on the role of mentor, guiding others through similar processes of discovery and empowerment. He sees voice as central to agency. “By finding our voice, we can contribute and be heard when decisions are made about our futures.”

We Have The Advanced Research and Invention Agency to Thank for This!

UK: More Climate-Change Tomfoolery – Enjoy the “Sun-Ray” Shield! (30.5.2025)

AIRA is an ongoing project of Tory-inspired anti-intellectualism. Below is a propaganda article that is theoretically absurd, false, and completely unworkable – and yet it is being presented as “true” to our youth. This is the inverted thinking of the bourgeois writ-large. I have checked with my scientific colleagues (who cannot be named due to the threat of cancel culture) who state that this is sheer child-like lunacy. A small barrier cannot block-out sun-rays to any noticeable or significant extent. Still, do not take my word for it, do your own research. Of course, you will initially get caught in the affirming processes (like telling you religion is literally “true”) – but this is like being diverted with the glitz of capitalist wealth – dig a little deeper and the disgusting under-belly will be become apparent. I am lucky as I am in a position to expose bourgeois corruption – but you must protect yourself from any establishment backlash. This is the price of free-thought – which must be charished.

DPRJ Socialist Construction in Tourism!

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects Service Facilities of Kalma Coastal Tourist Area! (31.12.2024)

Our country has rich and diverse tourist resources to be envied by the world, along with its political stability, institutional advantages and material and economic conditions essential for the development of tourist industry, he said, adding; If the tourist industry is developed by making active use of such favourable conditions and environment, it will open up a new realm of socialist cultural construction and bring about another motive force for promoting regional rejuvenation and national economic growth.
