It’s ironic that the West initially believed it would spearhead the renewable energy transition and reap the economic rewards.

Yet, as soon as it became clear that China would lead the renewable revolution, their feigned commitment to environmentalism evaporated almost overnight.

Suddenly, Western governments began doubling down on fossil fuels and imposing sweeping bans on Chinese-made solar panels and wind turbines, prioritizing geopolitical competition over climate action.

@yogthos one reason china does this, is to prepare for war because its only buying coal and fossel fuels from other countries. I am unsure if they really care about the earth or climate at all, especially after building the biggest dam which disrupts the earths rotation by a bit without rethinking or caring about this topic.
@EtherealResonance it's obvious that they do care about the environment given that most reforestation globally has been happening in China and the fact that they're greening deserts right now.

Also, evidently you'd prefer China used fossil fuel instead of hydro. Not sure how slowing earth rotation by the dam affects the environment in your head.

Finally, yeah China has other practical reasons to develop clean energy. Doesn't detract from the fact that they are doing it.
