probably their most inexcusable geopolitical offence

Supporting Islamists to own the Soviets in Afghanistan was pretty bad

wow almost half a single percent of China's annual national income

Is there any evidence of educational benefit? I don't think there is (still put it on though)

I don't doubt this is AI generated but honestly in any journal article, every one in five citations will be inappropriate.

they're completely dead, did you not see the pictures?

(They were evacuated in advance)

maybe you can get hired by the PRC to balance their budgets

Maybe you can join a reading group here before using some thought terminating cliche like "balance budgets".

in 2023 the total healthcare cost in China was 1,249,253,919,000.00 USD compare that to around 11-14 billion in Cuba.

This is the same amount per person.

I think you've defaulted to defensiveness because AES are often attacked by leftcoms but that's not necessary here

Yeah it should be a lot fucking easier to do as China than Cuba, they can barely import enough fuel to keep the lights on

I reread the article, I reckon it's about satellites in general deorbiting faster to avoid a Kessler syndrome scenario

Sean Elvidge at the University of Birmingham, UK, says this effect could benefit satellite operators like SpaceX by removing dead satellites from orbit more quickly that could otherwise pose a danger to other satellites. “It’s speeding up that process,” he says. However, it could limit our ability to operate satellites in orbits below 400 kilometres, known as very low Earth orbit. “It shows that could be challenging,” he says.

this is beneficial to SpaceX as it means the end of life satellites will re-enter faster, getting them out of the way for their replacements

They can deorbit them at any time though?

Nah, it's pretty crap compared to say, Cuba

E.g. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7388505/

For context the Chinese healthcare system is basically run on neoliberal brainworms (except competently).

You'd rip out the entire system instead of doing these little top up fixes to expand access and coverage.
