OK, big thread time. It will seem a little bit meandery, but I promise it all comes together in the end.
The topic is, as is increasingly usual for my rants, the #disingenuous #western #press and its service of #narrative over information. The seeds of this rant were planted when @architecture posted a link to this story:

I urge you to read both the headline and the article before continuing. But I'll be starting with the headline.

🥳 New Kitten Release
• Fixed regression: Since we switched the h() render function to return a generator (for seamless async support in html templates), two other methods that were calling h() directly – `kitten.safelyAddHtml()` and `kitten.js()` – had begun to fail. This was also affecting the fetchiverse, streamiverse, and kitten-chat family of examples.
Enjoy!
(Run `kitten update` to immediately install the latest version on your development machines. Your production machines will automatically update in the next few hours.)

A busy few days for Labour, ten more things in action from them including changes to Employment Rights Bill for couples that miscarry and ban on NDAs for sexual misconduct of staff/visitors. Protecting workers every step of the way. Wage growth up too!!
Lots of good things happening with Labour, some of it England-only.
We really need Labour in power in Scotland to work with the UK Gov to deliver improvement across the whole country from north to south.

in reply to 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦 • • •So, let's start with the headline. "Why China built..."
Let's clear this up right away. "China" didn't build shit. Thousands of Chinese workers who work for independent construction contractors did. Contractors who are privately owned businesses. (Note the plurals all along!) The dome was designed by an engineering firm who used the materials research of various structural materials firms, and all of this was governed by an lead construction firm.
Why were none of these named?

🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦
in reply to 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦 • • •RIGHT NEXT TO THIS ARTICLE is a link blurb about a trivial redesign of Yet Another Shopping Mall. Here's what it says:
"FMG Fabbrica Marmi and architect Paolo Gianfrancesco, of THG Arkitektar Studio, have designed the restyling of the third floor of Reykjavik's largest shopping center."
For a trivial mall redesign they named the architect and lead construction agency. For a novel engineering project they named ... "the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in Beijing".
This is bizarre!

🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦
in reply to 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦 • • •Well, I mean, it *would* be bizarre if I hadn't read, you know, every piece of reportage on China in western media for the past three decades or so.
Because the role of media in the west stopped being "informing the public" ages ago (if, indeed, it had ever actually had that role). The role of media in the west is to further a narrative that is in line with what a bunch of rich assholes want you to believe: that any system that isn't the one they're milking to death is bad.
🧵 ▶️
🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦
in reply to 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦 • • •So what the western press absolutely pushes as its narrative is that any system that isn't liberal (in the old school sense) capitalism is top-down authoritarian and thus bad. This is why, despite literally *everybody* involved in that job site being publicly-available information on Jinan's government site, the only named entity in reportage on this dome is a government agency. IN BEIJING!
The materials firms that designed the skin? The design firms that created the dome? Unnamed.

in reply to 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦 • • •This is where I introduce a term to you today: 全过程人民民主. Look it up. (And I don't mean ask ChatGPT! ACTUALLY LOOK IT UP! It's good exercise for your brain!)
I'm not going to get into arguments about whether or not this is "real democracy". I'm not going to get into arguments with know-nothings who've never stepped foot outside their cowshit-laden towns but are experts on one of the most complicated governance systems in the world either.
But I will tell you this is an example.
