It's nuts how much China has achieved with less than a quarter of the US's cumulative per capita emissions and around half the US's total emissions. I can't see how anyone can look st those numbers and see anything other than a story of massive and tragic waste but I guess that's the power of propaganda.
Yep. "China bad" is the default in the west, so they can't handle anything that contradicts that narrative. And if they were to actually look earnestly at the numbers, they would be forced to admit in their simple liberal binary "good guys/bad guys" system that the west are actually the bad guys there.
