“A principal source of human misery is the lack of cheap, abundant, safe, clean energy.”

I remember reading long ago that Nuclear power would be too cheap to meter.

the major source of human misery is human greed.

"I become very skeptical of their ability to build hi-tech weapons systems that will actually work."

Yet there is a certain quality in quantity back stopped by unchallenged authority. That and the uncertainty about China's true abilities clouds our response. At least Trump acknowledges their threat, but patience is on China's side.

I trust this about as much as I trust Chinese bridge builders.

Agreed, but like with all commie countries and the inherent grift, leads to poor quality control, cost cutting to pay for it, and the unmotivated workforce, that is when their failures will appear

What’s the over/under on years until a nuc disaster in China?

Tofu dregs for the win!

We have built thorium reactors over here although not at ifrastructure scale.

It’s been reported China has stolen over thirty trillion dollars in US intellectual property and Trump is pushing to allow 200,000 more Chinese students into US Colleges and Universities??

Sounds like a possible Biden slip-up to me, but at least this way we’ll probably get to see any possible potential problems with the thorium setup.

The Chinese also had the benefit of activists in the White House for eight years i.e. Hussein and Joe.
