US wanted to make a fool out of China. But instead, the US made a fool of itself. Let that be a lesson.

I don’t watch mainstream media anymore.

China has the greatest manufacturing capacity. US has the greatest clown production capacity and the greatest national debt.

Our idiot system did do something, they made a very few of themselves rich on this disaster. NYT is like so much these days, not worth the paper it's printed on. Thanks Lee for your attitude, keep on fighting!

America's military pollutes more than 144 countries combined and also keeps up 100 companies that pollutes about 70% of the pollution we DO actually count (the military isn't counted)

China produces and installs, in one year, more solar panels than the US has installed, all years combined. And we are not counting other clean energy sources yet, such as wind, hydro. There is research currently going on to harness the energy in ocean waves too.

The U.S. is currently the largest producer of oil and gas in the world. This transition, led by China spending nearly 1 trillion last year alone, is coming directly for those oil and gas profits and the petrodollar in particular. It's not only their industrial policy, it's also a geopolitical strategy in eroding the reserve currency status of the dollar. And the NY Times acts like this aspect to these developments doesn't even exist. As gold and bitcoin hit record highs in recent months, and China continues to wind down it's Treasury bond holdings. Yes, this is about climate change, but it's also about deposing the status of the dollar. It is both. At the same time.

Seems like the petrodollar motivates everything the US does (but mostly its wars.) Not to mention that our economy depends upon the status of the dollar, globally. China would be smart to go after it. I can believe that.

And making china less dependent on fuel imports is extremely important as the US surrounds them with military bases. With the threat being that they can cut them off from global trade.

China has been playing 5D chess from the beginning! the West have obviously been playing Hangman! The West think theyve got China contained and surrounded by military bases but its China that is surrounding the US and the globe with infrastructure! and winning the war against climate change! and slowing the US's death and destruction by out trading, out manufacturing, out maneuvering!!!??? weakening the US economically, baiting the West into overreaching, putting it off balance and top heavy! The Art of Fighting without Fighting! in practice!! the US grasshopper not getting it still!!! ''It is like a finger pointing to the moon!!'' SLAPS back of head!*

China has more parties constituting their government, than there are parties taking part in most "liberal" democracies' elections. There's the usual Liberal socdem parties, but there is a lot of local industries forming parties, to make sure that single industry region are duly represented, like the Xinjiang cotton farmers. For example, it would be like Appalachian miners forming a party and electing representatives. And the CPC has a history of inclusion with those parties, since they directly represent workers.

People also think Cuba is a dictatorship, there’s a kind of idiocy where people don’t understand that in China you have to abide by the constitution, the same is true in the US and this fact has been used to block socialist parties that are revolutionary from running in the late 19th and early 20th century

@@HahaDamn Yeah, Diaz-Canel made a lot of effort to rid the West of that misconception, he was elected by the new generations and has more liberal views. But all that did was make MSM stop talking about Cuba altogether. Guess if they can't sell Fidel's homophobia as widespread and systemic, they're just not interested in the Island's homeland politics, at all... This level of collusion between media and oligarchy is repugnant. Although the US constitution is mostly a loose suggestion, at this point... In the last few decades, US politicians have wiped themselves with the constitution, after relieving themselves on the working class.

So true. Also depending on which sources, the west exported their emissions to China accounting for 35-70% of China's greenhouse gas emissions. So at least 35% of China's greenhouse gas is attributed to western consumers

I have a background in Biology. I agree with the rather infamous Conservation Biologist, Guy McPherson: Civilization is a heat engine. Right now electric cars run on conventional energy that emits. I have yet to hear of a breakthrough on renewables... The race for AI will necessitate massive amounts of power for super computing... I could go on and on. Even most of what they claim to be a transition is really just more of the same... I would love to believe that some superpower wants to really tackle this. I just don't...

Maybe the nation leaders do want to tackle climate change and transition to a renewable energy future but they don't have all the tools and solutions yet, partly because we are still in a world that is driven by money and markets - which is a bonkers measure to manage an economy that is supposed to be sustainable and just. We are working with an old, out-dated operating system trying to get it to solve 21st century problems. Many companies and countries are trying something but overall, much more needs to be done! So, look to those who are studying this and offering more potential solutions, from the academic like Jason Hickel (Less is More) to Richard Wolff (The Sickness is the System), or Kate Raworth (Doughnut Economics) to the more structuralist thinkers with Peter Joseph, The New Human Rights Movement and new film, Zeitgeist: Requiem to the co-operative, collaborative community building initiative of One Small Town with Michael Tellinger. There are options out there. I don't believe any world leaders truly do know this, and not enough regular people even now this. That's why awareness building is so important. We are in an era with a race against the clock at Late Stage Capitalism causing more and more destabilizing inequality and harm vs the people waking up and uniting trying to change the social structure so it can provide for everybody and stay within planetary boundaries. Where do you want to fit in to that major 21st century challenge?

I was in China before 2018, terrible pollution, we were playing football and we agreed that when it gets beyond certain levels we'd cancel the game, because it would be damaging to our health..... we ended up playing with twice the pollution anyways because otherwise we'd just never play. It was visible, like you can't see the building across the street bad. Now I'm back in 2023 - 2024, blue skies all winter, I can't say no pollution but it's no worse than any other major cities I've been to, comparable to Melbourne Australia, in fact, my home town. It is a huge step up, I find it hard to describe but this is the best that I can do. So I'm just saying, electric cars or whatever it is, it did work.

China is different, though. Communist governance is different, and so is the culture and world view of decision makers. The CPC can absolutely have long term goals that aren't dictated by short term profit motives, campaign contributions and imperialist global dominance on behalf of multinational corporations - as they've already demonstrated. So this is entirely plausible.

You are completely clueless about this topic. It's embarrassing. China is an industrial civilisation that depends on fossil burning like everyone else. Solar panels and wind turbines and electric cars are ecocide by other means. Anyone can learn about it, it's not hard.
