@alarabiya_eng: “China builds the world’s largest solar farms within a few months. In the EU, it takes years just for the project to get approved.” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz contrasts China’s rapid construction of major solar projects with lengthy EU approval timelines, proposing automatic authorization if permits are not processed within weeks or months.

I went 3 months to China for a project and they are technologically waaaay ahead of the EU now. We should definitely adopt some of their way of working and work together with them more, and less with the US.

its so tricky to balance this. China don't care if citizens object. but in Europe even small numbers can block critical infrastructure. both systems are too extreme.
