Nitrocellulose is a highly flammable compound that is used in the production of paint, varnish and ink, as well as ammunition.

A helicopter carrying President #EbrahimRaisi of #Iran & his foreign minister crashed on Sunday in the country’s mountainous northwest, acc/to state media, deepening the turmoil that has gripped the nation on both the international & domestic fronts in recent months.
#Raisi, 63, was traveling from Iran’s border w/ Azerbaijan to inaugurate a joint dam project.
#Raisi is a hard-line religious cleric who came of age during the #Islamic revolution. Under #Iran’s #theocracy, Raisi, as president, is the 2nd most powerful individual in Iran’s #political structure after… #Khamenei.
After becoming president in 2021, Raisi consolidated power & marginalized reformists who wanted to defuse tensions w/the #West. He repeatedly said he pursued a policy of “strong diplomacy,” forging closer #economic & #security ties w/ #Russia & #China.
Die #FDP ist technologieoffen, sagen #Lindner, #Wissing, #Duerr
u.a.
Neue Technologien meint sie damit nicht, denn die Forschung für Batterieentwicklung wurde fast eingestellt - #China wird auch hier führend!
Die #GelbePest setzt auf Verbrenner, die 4% - Partei schadet Deutschland nachhaltig.
Sich biegende Tische: Chinesen essen gern, auch gern außer Haus. Hier ein paar Tische, bei denen die Statikberechnung kritisch ist. Die Statik der Stühle wird verzögert auch beeinträchtigt.
“The banned imports - known as the #Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List - names businesses that are said to be involved in exploiting forced labor in Xinjiang region.

Dumpingvorwurf: China will Plastikimporte aus EU und USA prüfen
China leitet eine Anti-Dumping-Untersuchung zu Plastikimporten aus der EU und den USA ein. Die Folge könnten Strafzölle sein. Zuvor hatten Washington und Brüssel dem Land unfaire Handelspraktiken vorgeworfen.
🇬🇧 The UK government said the growing alliance between #Russia and #China is a threat to Western nations, as it urged European countries to boost lethal aid to Ukraine.
Outcome of #Putin visit to #China in terms of economic agreements signed:
✅ Agreement on supplies of Russian topinambour and beef by-products, particularly beef cartilage and stomachs to China
✅ Creation of a new nature reserve “Land of big cats”
✅ Cooperation between TASS and Xinhua news agencies
❌ Construction of Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline was not agreed

If you got upset at me for pointing out that more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump, in large part because Biden rolled back common sense restrictions that were in place under Trump...
Then you'll hate me pointing out that Trump introduced a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs, and Biden is upping that to 100% tariff.
@mekkaokereke There's plenty of criticism (& I've done it) of the US and our terrible history, racial injustices, and anti-#labor laws. But I fail to understand how ignoring genocide in China, or downplaying crimes against #Uyghurs and #Tibetans, helps?
Tesla, btw, is an ideal partner for #China, in many ways (just as Twitter is becoming a venue for Chinese misinformation). #Tesla & Chinese carmakers are the worst when it comes to sourcing & labor
