COVID 19 wasn't China's Chernobyl - Chernobyl is China's Chernobyl -

Totally fine, nothing to see here. The results are normal and within normal parameters.

The US government has spent the past week assessing a report of a leak at a Chinese nuclear power plant, after a French company that part owns and helps operate it warned of an "imminent radiological threat," according to US officials and documents reviewed by CNN.

The warning included an accusation that the Chinese safety authority was raising the acceptable limits for radiation detection outside the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong province in order to avoid having to shut it down, according to a letter from the French company to the US Department of Energy obtained by CNN.

Despite the alarming notification from Framatome, the French company, the Biden administration believes the facility is not yet at a "crisis level," one of the sources said.

While US officials have deemed the situation does not currently pose a severe safety threat to workers at the plant or Chinese public, it is unusual that a foreign company would unilaterally reach out to the American government for help when its Chinese state-owned partner is yet to acknowledge a problem exists. The scenario could put the US in a complicated situation should the leak continue or become more severe without being fixed.

Why would the US care? Fuck China. Just let them handle it... which they won't and another disaster can strike causing China yet again to blame anyone (the French this time) but themselves.

Just add it to another part of the bill on covid reparations.

Quick, someone send Hunter Biden there to plug the reactor leak with his dick. Another classic Biden administration solution.

Good, saves us the trouble of nuking them ourselves.

Before we can do that we need to answer an important question...

How old is the reactor?

 

[Karl der Grosse]

It's worth noting that the Chinese didn't admit that they had a reactor leak. Instead, they just tried to raise the radiation detection limits so that -guess what?- there's no problem!

I'm glad that the French snitched on them, but you can multiply this scenario hundreds and thousands of times, in pretty much every aspect of Chinese life: the little lie that hides a big problem, but saves face.

Chernobyl caused ripple effects that ultimately crashed the Soviet Union.

Not saying that means anything. Just thought I'd put that out there. I'm getting real tired of Pooh Bear.

The Soviet Union was, well, a union of 'Soviet Socialist Republics'. Separate countries with their own internal frictions. The PRC is, for the most part, made up of a single country, with a handful of comparatively small annexations.

France and CNN need to cool it with the baseless, dangerous far-right conspiracy theories.

also chernobyl was only able to shake up the soviet system because they had gorbachev in power who was pushing everything towards openness and transparency while gradually trying to roll back the top-down authoritarianism.

china does not have that, xi rules with an iron fist. not quite as brutal as stalin and not quite as insane as mao, but nothing close to gorbachevs self-destruction either.

Ideally it's so the pointing and laughing can be properly coordinated when (not if) the reactor actually eats shit.

Because if/when the reactor core goes kablooie, and tons of ionizing radioactive particles get yeeted into the stratosphere, it becomes everyone else's problem.

 

[draggs]

Muh Chinese communists are super unstoppable and are gonna rule the earf soon

They definitely are NOT just like every other communist ever, incompetent and high on their own farts

Maybe when India and other nations near start getting tumors and shit, then maybe the world will quit licking China's asshole nonstop and actually, the world will diplomatically chastise them for once.

Anthony Fauci has been consulting with the WHO, and he has assured us that the 3000% increase in cancerous tumors in the population around Taishan is normal according to the new guidelines that replaced the old guidelines 20 minutes ago.

Stop hating science, bigots!

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

Anthony Fauci has been consulting with the WHO, and he has assured us that the 3000% increase in cancerous tumors in the population around Taishan is new side effects of COVID-19 that can only be stopped by wearing 5 masks, taking monthly booster shots and submitting to daily anal swabs.

FTFY

 

[Crazedking]

hoh great another nation fucking up nuclear so the rest of the world can remain afraid of it and force us into stupid "renewable energies" like fucking windmill and solar.

 

[FatalTater]

Nooo that nuclear plant is too close to Shenzhen, which is a very pretty place and I do not want it nuclear-ified!

Well that and they physically could not hide it. Radioactive detectors were going off all over Europe. Wasn't much the Russians could do other than own up.

On an unrelated note, can't wait for the dicksucking headlines.
