Coddling China: When will it end?
By Duggan Flanakin |October 25th, 2020|Economy|24 Comments
What is it about China that enables the world’s most populous nation to be such a favorite of the international globalist, socialist community (while lambasting Russia, which officially abandoned communism three decades ago)?
In 1997, six years after the demise of the Soviet Union, China was granted an exemption from any obligations to reduce carbon dioxide emissions under the Kyoto Protocol (as was India) on grounds that it was a “developing nation.†And despite the posturing over the Paris climate agreement, China’s CO2 emissions soared while the ink on President Xi’s signature was still wet.
One reason cited by President Trump for pulling the U.S. out was that the Paris accords committed the U.S. to massive, immediate CO2 emission reductions (26 to 28 percent by 2025). China only committed to its previously announced goal to increase non-fossil-fuel electricity to about 20 percent by 2030.
