The air over China is already much cleaner than five
years ago. Then China was said to the most polluted country in the
world, apparent in its air quality. And this provided the West with all
the ammunition to demonise China. China took up the challenge to clean
up its pollution image, first by refusing the import and recycling of
waste from foreign countries, took steps to minimise sandstorms by
reversing desertification and turning deserts into fertile ground for
vegetation, support the rise of factories involved in the manufacture of
clean energy vehicles or EVs and equipment like wind turbines and solar
panels.
China is phasing out ICE vehicles, building more dams
harnessing stored energy in water to generate electricity. China is
installing wind turbines to harness wind energy to provide electricity
for homes and factories. China is turning to solar energy too and all
these are slowly taking over from fossil fuel, resources that China does
not have much in reserve.
How deep is China's effort in using
renewables? Some places in China are already running 'Robocab' or
driverless taxis that can take passengers to where they want to go. Some
cities in China are practically running on clean energy - homes,
offices and factories and all modes of travelling are dependent on
electric buses, cars, motorcycles and not to leave out trains.
Which
country in the world goes to such an extent to really embrace the fight
against climate change on such a scale? Some countries pretend to care
so much for climate change but does not walk the talk and only offering
lip service. They think it is the responsibility of others, just like it
is the responsibility of other countries to produce products for them
to freeload in exchange for their toilet papers. They want to protect
their fossil fuel extraction and domination and hang on to their ICE
vehicle manufacturing facilities which they have set up ages ago. They
even tried to demonise EVs, wind turbines and solar panels as evil, all
because they have lost the edge in manufacturing them.

China is number one in attempts to save the earth, with EVs, wind turbines and solar panels that are using or producing clean energy.
The USA is going in the other direction. It is taking issues with EVs claiming subsidies, demonising wind turbines for killing birds and castigating Chinese solar panels for killing off its own factories. If Trump wins, the USA will go big into the extraction of fossil fuel. Trump is a big fan of fracking.
And the USA wants to prevent China from providing cheap clean energy equipment to poor countries. Suffice to say, one big reason is that the USA cannot compete against China over cheap products and is now resorting to keep China out of the global market which they cannot ever compete, and forcing poor countries to adopt expensive products that those poor countries cannot afford. This is another threat against humanity.
Evil thoughts can only come out of evil minds of evil people.
China reforestation 2001-21 is nearly 425,000 km2 {at #1), that's 598x of Singapore
The great USA (at #2) only 57,000 km2
And here USA preaching about environment
Fu*£ off lah USA
