What the fuck are you talking about. China is leading the world in renewables and electrifying their cars.

    No they aren't. I can see how you would get that impression if your opinion was formed entirely from reading headlines of propaganda articles posted but those zoom very far in snd highly only small wins. The big picture is horrible which is why they avoid it.

    Their energy is only 30% renewable. Thats bang on the world average which is completely unacceptable for the largest country in the world. If they actually cared we would see them reduce the rate of emissions over the last 10 years but we havent its only kept increasing year on year.

    They buy a lot of electric cars which is great and compared to countries that are 10x smaller it might seem like a ton but their overall fleet is only 9% EVs. I couldn't find good data on this compared to other countries so I'll just say its good and I doubt its world leading or anywhere near.

    Where are you getting your numbers from?

    If 30% of their energy is from renewables, how much of the rest is from nuclear?

    Everything I have read shows that China is doing more to move away from fossil fuels than any other nation.
