I think, but don’t hold me to it, they’re talking on how since China isn’t exactly democratic, things get pushed through a lot quicker, like climate policies. I wouldn’t say it’s China’s intention to look like the “green superpower”, just that it gives a better geopolitical look to China. Just to make clear, I don’t support China, and likely never will without some national revolution and major reform (cough cough, fuck the CCP), only giving my thoughts.
The CCP puts more effort into appearing green because they think it’s more cost effective. Lower level bureaucrats just put on a show for the day or week a higher up or press tour is coming around. They literally paint their lawns green.
No shit? Rich countries want to rest on their laurels and put a token effort towards the climate problem.
If you want to see what kind of investment is needed to actually solve the climate problem, look at China.
No democracy is going to greenlight that level of spending.

Unironically yes.
China, one of the most egregious polluters?
