@srchadfield @yogthos @graywolf @jimray China is not communist, whatever the semantic you want to put behind "communist" social structure.
They are highly capitalistic with private fortunes building up everywhere, but in a strongly regulated framework based on power control and surveillance and a will to show the west laissez-faire and power capture by the rich doesn't work (which is easy, we are giving them the sticks to beat us here).

And they are generating more greenhouse gas 1/ because they build most of our stuff that generates greenhouse gas effect and 2/ are on a super good dynamic of reaching net 0 in a couple decades, with already real measurable effects, when most of the west, and sorry but usa more than any, are fighting hard to accelerate gaz emissions without real plans to change that dynamic. Europe is, as always on a not so bad but not that good and much, much too slow dynamic (at least, before the right and fascism tidal wave building up on the last 2 decades floods everything)
