Well previously the Chinese were not able to, but that was changed recently:

I read the PDF. The "Remove Red Tape and Onerous Regulation Recommended Policy Actions" don't cite to any specific existing regulations. It just references executive orders that vaguely demand any such regulations be eliminated.

So it bears repeating: what red tape?


Well whenever Republicans bang on about red tape, it's usually stuff like:

* Anything remotely pro-environment

* Anything remotely pro-labor

* Anything not covered by either of those that attempts to stop someone who has a lot of money from doing A Thing


The red tape that they said was there.

If you need further details than that, then I don’t think you have grokked the style of governance that this administration is operating under.

Edit: that’s a general “you”, not you specifically


Given that this extends to the power plants for AI data centers, the question is have you tried to make a nuclear or coal power plant any time in the past decade? I haven't, personally, but I hear there's a lot.


Tariffs obviously /s


I thought it was funny.
