"Last year China installed more than half of all wind and solar added globally. In May alone, it added enough renewable energy to power Poland, installing solar panels at a rate of roughly 100 every second."

You know they’re just laughing it up about how easily #Trump can be manipulated.
#Putin visits #China to reaffirm #Russia ties after #Xi - Trump summit
The Kremlin has said Putin & Xi plan to discuss economic cooperation between the two countries, but also “key international & regional issues.” The visit coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship signed in 2001.

The #Trump admin is placing economic #sanctions on a major #China based #oil refinery & roughly 40 shipping companies & tankers involved in transporting #Iran oil.
The move, announced Friday makes good on Trump’s threat to impose secondary sanctions on companies & countries that do business with Iran. It’s also part of his #Republican admin’s overall ramped-up campaign to cut off Iran’s key source of revenue — its oil exports.

Much damage has been done to our societies and the #climate due to #fossilFuels
The alternative was always there, but it was systematically destroyed
Appreciate the irony though:
Big Oil's decline has been ensured by their greatest triumph, #Trump
The stupid war on #Iran means every country will move off #oil
#China's #EV makers are kings of the world now

Snopes: Fake News from Trump??
"Image claiming to show US airman rescued in Iran is fake. Here's the proof
In early April 2026, the U.S. said it conducted a rescue mission to retrieve two members of the Air Force downed in Iran."

New report from Human Rights Watch about the Chinese government's systematic erasure of the Tibetan language
“Language loss on the scale taking place in Tibet is not accidental – it is Chinese government policy. Unless China’s practices change, an entire generation of Tibetan children will grow up cut off from their own language, culture, and heritage.” - Maya Wang, HRW

2026年6月18日，哔哩哔哩UP主@暮晨回家 发布视频《请救救黄樱桃，她被戒网瘾学校抓走了》，表示他们的朋友黄樱桃于近期前往四川旅游，结果于6月9日下午突然失联，经过调查发现黄樱桃遭到了当地“网戒机构”的绑架，并且要到明年开学的时候才能出来。目前哔哩哔哩UP主，知名反网戒行业人士 @温柔JUNZ 在评论区表示已对黄樱桃展开救援。

#Trump & #Xi wrap up summit claiming “progress” stabilizing #US - #China relations as differences persist
Trump said he had not yet made a determination on whether a major US sale of arms to #Taiwan can move forward. Speaking to reporters as he flew back on Air Force One, Trump said he’d not decided on the sale, but he added, “I will make a determination.”
The sale has already been authorized, but it has yet to move forward. China opposes the deal.

#Trump said a potential arms deal for #Taiwan was a “very good negotiating chip” in talks with #China. His words raise questions about the reliability of #US support. [there is no question, you can’t rely on it.]
Taiwan’s government has been waiting for months for Trump to sign off on a $14 billion package of missiles, anti-drone equipment & air-defense systems intended to fortify the island against Beijing’s military threats.

The United States sanctioned Chilean officials who were assessing a proposal to build an undersea cable between Chile and Hong Kong.
It wants to ensure South America data flows through cables owned by US companies, giving it the ability to surveil that data.

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Mehrfach die Woche teile ich gegen das Doomscrolling erfreuliche #Solarpunk - Nachrichten! 📰
Heute darf ich Euch von erfreulichen Fortschritten bei der Entwicklung von Natrium - Ionen - Batterien 🔋 berichten, die ohne das seltene Lithium auskommen. In Europa werden zudem immer mehr organische Redox - Flow - Batterien gebaut, die ebenfalls als Batteriespeicher für Solar- und Windstrom taugen. Insgesamt führt jedoch China die Batterieforschung an.
Würde Deutschland weniger Zeit und Subventionen für fossile Technologien vergeuden, so könnte unser Land auch für die EU und die von Russland angegriffene Ukraine sowie für den Schutz der überhitzenden Mitwelt & fossilistisch unterdrückter Völker wie jenes des Iran ein noch wertvollerer Partner sein! 🤔🇩🇪🇪🇺🪫🧮
Denn #Erneuerbare sind auch #Friedensenergien !
