This kind of bipartisan thinking is not getting us anywhere, and wasting precious time. China is building a lot of renewable energy infrastructure at this moment, and the US insists on fracking. There is not just black and white, but a lot of hard problems that need solving, now—whether you're Chinese, French, or Kongoan.

You mean China that built more solar last year than the rest of the world combined? Not to mention batteries.

Disclaimer: I don't give a fuck about China but you're objectively full of shit

China is only communist in the name, "state capitalism" describes it better. In some aspects it's very similar to how the US operated during war times, just milder. If you think China abolished private property and that Chinese people own the means of productions you probably haven't looked very hard... It's the second country in term of numbers of millionaires and they have hundred thousands of private companies

China is actually doing a lot in term of clean energy, if you (we) didn't use them as the world factory they'd pollute way less. It's both the first producer and the one that moves at the fastest pace. btw per capita China pollutes about 50% less than the US (and about as much as the EU average), while they manufacture and ship a huge part of what is consumed in the US/EU.

Which communist china are you talking about? That thing has stopped existing decades ago.

China is autocratic but it's not communist or 'non-capitalist' by any stretch of the imagination.
