Don’t Be Duped: China Has Chosen Growth Over Vacuous Climate Pledges

china coal smogAs with many other nations these days, tension exists in China between climate and pollution considerations on the one hand and the desire for economic growth on the other.

Though Beijing has assured the international community any number of times that it sincerely aims to decrease pollution and cut back on emissions of greenhouse gases, its actions have spoken louder than its words and show that China’s leadership has prioritized growth, and with the heavy use of coal no less. [emphasis, links added]


When it comes to climate and pollution, Beijing has said all the right things. In November 2021, Chinese leader Xi Jinping with considerable fanfare assured the United Nations (U.N.) that his country would reach complete carbon neutrality by 2060.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Smog in Shanghai.
It's not only about economic growth.
It's about world domination.
And from how The West seems to be going, looks like the Chinese are going to win.
