‘China Fueling World's Move Away from Fossil Fuels Says Report
Fair point on the demand growth... However, the difference is stark and deliberate: - Electricity demand growth pertains solely to the additional electricity required compared to the previous year - driven by factors such as increased residential consumption, industrial expansion, and the proliferation of electric vehicles. - Energy demand, however, encompasses all forms of energy consumption, including oil, coal, natural gas, renewables, and nuclear power. In 2024, clean electricity sources - primarily wind and solar - accounted for 84% of China's electricity demand growth, a notable increase from 47% in the previous decade. Yet, this statistic is profoundly misleading. It conveniently omits China's substantial and growing reliance on coal. In 2024, China initiated the construction of 94.5 gigawatts of new coal-fired power capacity - the highest in a decade. Simultaneously, coal consumption increased by 1.7%, and coal imports reached a record high of 542.7 million metric tons. This juxtaposition of rapid renewable expansion with an unabated coal build-out paints a misleading picture of China's energy landscape. While wind and solar are indeed growing, they are not supplanting coal; rather, they are being added alongside it. The narrative that China's renewable energy efforts are significantly displacing fossil fuels is, at best, an oversimplification. In essence, highlighting that wind and solar met 84% of electricity demand growth without acknowledging the simultaneous surge in coal infrastructure is not only selective reporting but also intellectually dishonest. -

Report Cambodian Man Attacked After Recording Teen in Pattaya Hotel
Photo via Facebook/ อธิปบูรพา In the early hours of 9th September, a 36-year-old Cambodian man, Sarun Ken, reported being attacked by a group of men in Pattaya. The incident occurred after Ken was caught secretly recording a sexual encounter with a 16-year-old Thai girl in a local hotel. Ken informed Pattaya police that he was assaulted by four or five individuals at around 1.40 am on Soi Sophon. This stemmed from an earlier meeting arranged via a dating app, where Ken met a teenager, later identified as Noi. He claims that they had agreed to a non-monetary encounter, offering instead his expertise in boxing training, which the girl allegedly accepted. However, Ken's clandestine recording of their encounter sparked the violent incident. When the girl discovered the filming, she demanded the video be deleted, which Ken claims he did before they parted ways. Later, while heading home on his motorcycle, he realised multiple riders were following him. Upon stopping in Soi Sophon, he was attacked by the group. A hotel worker confirmed the timeline, stating that Ken checked in with Noi the previous evening at 9 pm. After they left separately, the worker noticed motorcycles trailing Ken but was unaware of the subsequent assault. Following the attack, Noi contacted the authorities with her mother to file charges against Ken. Her mother's friends, responsible for the attack, also surrendered themselves. The girl stated that Ken coerced her into sexual acts under the guise of boxing training and recorded the activities, which incited her anger and led to the confrontation. Noi’s mother is pursuing legal action against Ken for the alleged assault and unauthorised recording of explicit material. Meanwhile, the police are conducting a thorough investigation and are planning to re-interview Noi with expert support to ensure clarity in her account. Channel 7 News reported that Ken refused medical assistance and left the police station promptly after Noi and her family arrived. The unfolding situation underscores the complexities surrounding illegal recordings and the potential consequences of actions taken without consent. This incident highlights ongoing issues of consent and privacy, especially concerning minors, and raises questions about the safety and exploitation risks within digital interactions. Police continue their enquiries as the community watches closely for further developments. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-09-09 -

Elite Visa appointment suddenly cancelled
This is unbelievable that you only became aware of this development after reading RMNs situation and then proceeded to contact them using your own initiative. So let me get this right, if you hadn't then you would have been none the wiser, wrongly assuming the 5 day window was still the only requirement for an in kingdom renewal. I say unbelievable, but it isn't really is it, more par for the course. Even after paying millions for a Privilege service they are still not updating their members directly! In my view this is so important they should have emailed everyone as soon as they became aware that this was now the norm. Has anyone actually been contacted by them yet or even seen a general update announcement. I certainly haven't.
