And opened more coal plants too lol, don't be quick in praising the CCP, there's always something shady in the background...

And systematically genociding their minorities too. Let's never forget that.

I still can't wrap my head around the case for genocide in China. Political and religious oppression is evident, but aside from grainy photos of some prisoners, but I haven't seen evidence of genocide. People are saying it though so... I guess it could be true?

China's CO2 output is expected to fall in the coming year, and for structural reasons, stay that way for years to come.

China is doing something good: here's why it's bad.

China is still developing and allowing European countries and the US to pollute unchecked but clutch your pearls when China and other countries do the same is ideological.

This article is evidence that China is putting effort forward on renewables. Meanwhile, Germany is opening coal plants and the US can't get a handle on anything at all.

It's not really shady now is it? There is no way solar can provide enough power for the entire country of china.
