They are giving themselves a free pass by ‘ aiming’ at net zero a decade or two after the West . They are not working in tandem with the west . You seem to be agreeing with me and at the same time disagreeing.😁 What I'm saying is, Xi Jinping loves net zero, in the west. But not in China. He can see what it's doing to western economies and he can also see how powerful the Chinese, coal based economy, could become. ...and yet China is investing in renewable energy at a rate of half a trillion dollars a year. More than the US and EU together. In fact, probably more than the rest of the world put together. |

All economic data coming out of China is very, shall we say, opaque.. |

He can see what it's doing to western economies and he can also see how powerful the Chinese, coal based economy, could become. Which is why I am saying that China is giving itself a free pass in an ‘ AIM’ to be net zero 20 years after the rest of us . |

Yup. I suspect that in 20 years when the West has tanked their economies the Asian tigers will tell us that they “aim” to become net zero by 2100.

Your society has been targeted for demolition/erasure. There was plenty of time to raise an objection, the plans have been in the local library for months. |
