To no thinking person’s surprise, China’s President Xi Jinping told Communist Party leaders that saving the planet from global warming won’t come at the expense of China’s economic growth or the comfort of its people.
Greens had been pointing to China’s efforts at cutting carbon emissions as an example other nations should follow. As it turns out, President Xi knows that cutting emissions will cut growth—something Xi is not willing to do.
Democratic politicians continue to babble about “sustainable growth” and “carbon neutral industries.” Xi knows the truth and won’t allow China to play games with its economic future just to make Western radicals feel good about themselves.
China, the world’s biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions, has been under pressure to “enhance ambition” and take more drastic action to tackle global heating. In the past two years, Beijing has also made a number of pledges to show its commitment.
...
Despite China’s carbon pledges, they are building 43 coal-fired plants this year—more than the rest of the world combined.
Simply put, China is in no position to cut the carbon emissions it promised.
...
China’s commitment to fighting climate change is about as real as its commitment to promoting human rights. It’s part of a propaganda campaign to make gullible left-wing Westerners put pressure on their governments to leave China alone while it pursues its agenda.
So far, so good.

The CCCP is evil, but not stupid. Unlike dems, who are just evil.
Translation: We have your green new deal right here.
“Western World, go ahead an give yourselves the shaft.”
China is turning in the USA of old. :-)
Not a democracy, but they don’t want to meet the fate of Ceaușescu, either.
But they will weld them into their homes if they have covid.
But I guess that doesn’t interfere with their normal life.
“China Won’t Disturb Its Citizens’ ‘Normal Life’ to Meet Carbon Goals”
neither will the U.S., but the lying fascist Democrats don’t want to say that part outloud and admit that ... they’ve been pinning their hopes of avoiding the destruction of the National Socialist Democrat Party on Federalizing the permanent theft of ALL elections, but looks like that probably isn’t going to happen ...
Well, at least the Chicoms have their priorities straight.
More than you can say for our so called administration.
Carbon pretty much essential to life.
While we brain wash our next generation to worship climate change......sad.
I think you are wrong dems are stupid as well as evil.
[[saving the planet from global warming]]
To noone’s surprise, the arrogant left, and thise that support them, think that man is capable of “saving the planet from global warming”. 1st off the planet does not need saving, 2nd even if it did, there is nothing man could do to do so. We don’t produce anywhere near enough co2 to make a difference one way or the other. The best we could do is clean up POLUTION which would have only a very very small impact in local areas only, and even then it won’t be hardly,even noticeable,,znd will just result,in cleaner drinking water, and less asthma aggravation, but it will do nothing to lower global temperatures
GlObama warming- -22 this morning... yay warming!
I keep saying that when China, or Russia or some Muslim country walk in and take over the asylum we’re living in, bad as they are, it may actually be an improvement.
They at least are still somewhat grounded in reality.
300 million Americans forced to cut back on everything to save the planet while one billion Chinese use more electricity generated by coal plants. Great deal Joe
