I’m not sure the Chinese are taking global warming seriously. It’s equally likely they saw a market they could dominate and become the worlds supplier. Which they have done.
If only there was a way to check what the Chinese government plans to do in the medium and long term, like say a 5 year and 20 year outlook on where they want to go. You could even compare their current plans and how well they’ve accomplished past ones to get a sense of what to expect going forward. But alas.
This is partly why I don’t believe in “brainwashing”. They reflect their class interests on the world stage as defenders of Western Hegemony and selectively use narratives (intelligently though malevolently) as a license for bigotry.
And it is why I may be increasingly disillusioned with Westerners’ (whatever the melanin concentration) collective revolutionary potential; this may be revealing, however, my lack of education in understanding where revolutionary potential may be (ie a class expansionist perspective and looking beyond the simplistic dichotomy of bourgoisie vs proleteriat).

Yes, they’re the only major power doing anything to stop climate change, but they’re doing it for the wrong reasons!
