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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
