Who produces a good portion of the world's finished goods? Hmmm.

Don't be stupid, ccp is not trustworthy. Liar, as always.

Realise the ship sailed long ago. And it’s not coming back. Deal with it. Be happy with what you have left & fix yourselves stop comparing to other nations or sanctioning you’ll only be disappointed & at this point it’s frankly embarrassing. Showcasing your delusions of grandeur.

Journalism ethics 101: if you’re going to report, report the ENTIRE story NOT skew lasciviously and maliciously toward distinct biased propaganda.

Come on Rhodium genius. Explain. Who’s the laggard and dullard in this conversation now? 😆😉again from CNBC. Where is US in this equation?

China is already leading in renewable energy production figures. It is currently the world's largest producer of wind and solar energy & largest domestic & outbound investor in renewable energy. What has US done Rhodium except exacerbate problem. 😉😆

The environment is liberal and will forgive China's increasing annual assault 'to be fair'.

What do you expect When you have all the worlds major companies either sourcing or manufacturing in china.

yet China has 4.2 times the population of the US, huh...

You mean the countries manufacturing the junk getting shipped across the planet to the countries that aren’t are producing more emissions? No way!

But China is still a 3rd word country… it’s okay
