But you can do nothing about the past and everything about the future. If you don't want to reduce CO2 production fine, be the unwelcome pollution pariah who cannot trade with unwilling others beyond your polluted borders. CCP is doing a fine job of making itself an unwelcome alien to all beyond it's borders. Live with your choices. I am genuinely surprised the US still trades & invests with CCP. It seems a useless endeavor.

@shihtzuview7186 This is a silly view. The people who do damage must stop. Not the bystanders. A giant energy consuming tiger like China saying "Woe is me. I get a free pass." is pathetic nonsense. Join the 21st century, lest you choose by sociopathic behaviour to be the pariah, the outlaw. It's up to you. No one will do it for you. Your dark skies will tell the tale. Hiding from the climate summit is pointless. China emitted CO2 that day. More than any other country by 2x.

@shihtzuview7186 You will choose what to do. And live with the consequences. No free pass. The amazing damage the CCP allows to the beautiful landscape of the middle kingdom bodes poorly for your future. The dark skies cry poison tears. The rivers silt instead of flow. How your neighbors and trading partners react depends on how much you damage them and how well you can hide it behind a torrent of b.s. It is solely up to the CCP. The same people who kill their childre and force others to give them away. Why live like this?

@shihtzuview7186 Pointing at another's flaws only postpones cleaning your own house. You live with your choices.

@shihtzuview7186 No pretending to be saints here. US has a long history of sinners and saints. Pick and choose your favorites And the US has to do the heavy lifting for the shirking world as always. But the CCP is not part of US 13 % of world CO2 production. That's ours to fix. Nor is US part of CCP's 26 %. That's the CCP's 3000 heros to fix. Whining, pewling and cursing your neighbors won't stop man-made rapid climate change. All need to be @ net zero. No free passes using "colonial victimization 100 years ago" as an excuse. Coal plants don't burn excuses. Unless you choose to fail. Then say so. On the other hand, if state central planning doesn't work and tens of millions may go hungry or freeze this winter well...then, ...screw climate change. Eat and stay warm. Let your grandson figure it out, if your party grants you one.

Outsiders telling unwilling Asians what to do from comfortable diggs 10,000 km away, against their will sounds completely stupid, particularly from neutered Europeans. Save your voice. Our choice is merely to trade with them or isolate them.
