how can US slow down China's nuclear build out - what export controls could be applied? Also I believe that the Hualong One reactor design is based on Westinghouse IP, which might give legal / financial instrument to help fslow down China's rise
Instead of lazily pointing out that nuclear is “expensive”, have an honest conversation on the extraordinarily high hurdles we put in 50+ years ago.
Right now even a good-faith conversation amongst experts across different industries seems impossible
Regulations is a huge topic with lots of nuances, effectiveness and various domains; but I just see every thread on HN constantly and incessantly drumming for more Gov intervention. Switch to another thread and first knee jerk reaction, often the top voted comment is about regulations.
I’m not saying at all about getting rid of regulations. They are absolutely necessary but maybe we should be a little more careful about putting them in place?
Specifically I'd say the "refactoring" of regulation. Plenty of regulation around that has correct intent but bad implementation.
I really don’t understand what you’re getting at. Can you connect the dots? It looks like you just wanted to post another anti-government rant and just replied to any random comment to do it.
You make it sound like they stole it but they legally bought it and are building the new nuclear plants in collaboration with Westinghouse.
This is such a weirdly common attitude to US competitors in a western bubble, but I can't figure what motivates so many people to act like such sore losers.
No wonder things like BRICS start popping out. People on the receiving end will justly recognize this attitude as evil.
OP should probably ask (but they won't), how can US slow down China's help to Russia's terrible war on Ukraine, or theft of valuable IP in the free world, or increased aggression against Taiwan and Philippines
If anyone actually wanted to do anything about this "terrible war", they wouldn't using peace agreements as a mean to prepare for war. If Ukraine and it's alies knowingly and willingly made a bet with peoples lives and then kept doubling down on "ceasefire is not an option" - it's only their fault for suffering the consequence and absolutely no one (including China) owes anyone any help in saving their face.
Objective reality exists. No one is going to fall in line with US-centric fake moralizing, based to denying agency to everyone except guys under that flag we don't like.
