    No country can force china to make something. China chooses to and because they dont care about emissions or environmental regulation its cheaper.

      China is the only country with anywhere close to its productive capacity taking such a hard stance on decreasing emissions, precisely because they aren’t dominated by the profit motive. Imperialist countries greenwash by pretending they aren’t reliant on production done outside.

      It’s like a landlord bragging that they don’t need to work to live. Someone has to work so the landlord can live, it just isn’t the landlord.

          China isn’t ignoring calls to reduce emissions, it’s one of the only countries effectively meeting them while producing what the entire world relies upon. That you continue to fall for the green washing from imperialist countries blaming China for their own parasitic economies is baffling.

            China isnt ignoring calls to reduce emissions they’ve just spent the last 15 years exponentially increasing emissions.
