Of course, that's unfortunate. I'm critical of them and they could be doing better. However, have you considered why? It's western factories that go to China and produce our goods. The West's carbon footprint is effectively laundered through China. Also, speak for yourself. Genocide Joe over here keeps approving oil pipelines. Yet you set your malaise on China. They and the EU also keep increasing their military budgets sharply, and the US MIC has long been the greatest contributor) to the climate crisis.
I love that your source here is nothing more than intuition.
Lol, you've given me no reason to. While the West fails to meet it's pitiful Paris Climate Accords goals, China has more ambitious goals and is already far ahead of them.
Again, no evidence, absurd reasoning. If China's such a bad place why have they eliminated poverty and why are chinese living longer, healthier, and happier than USians? Why are at least 95% of Chinese happy with their government?
Edit: I somehow forgot to mention: how can China's green energy be just for show when the US has recently bemoaned their overcapacity?
No, you don't understand. Decades of imperialist propaganda has taught me that China is BAD, and everything that they do is BAD, so how can they possibly do something GOOD? Checkmate
