What we do is irrelevant in the long term because antibiotic-resistant bugs will evolve in other countries which don't care. We might stop antibiotic-resistant bugs evolving here but the new ones will soon arrive on an airliner.

This was always going to be a perpetual arms race and we're no longer competent enough to develop new arms in the race.

That doesn't really matter though, because manufacturers won't make ICE vehicles if they've been told they won't be able to sell then in ten years.

China loves this, of course, because they have little experience of making ICE vehicles and the EU can't compete against cheap Chinese EVs. Almost like they've paid Western politicians to destroy Western auto manufacturers.

It's bizarre that people think China can't rapidly catch up with anything the West does that they consider of strategic importance when half the engineers going through Western colleges these days are Chinese and they're actually going into engineering rather than finance, advertising or some other parasitic endeavour that produces nothing of real value here in the West.

In five years China will be shipping cheap AI chips all over the world and Nvidia will have to go back to gaming. If Windows hasn't completely crashed and burned by then.
