Ha, you still think serious action will make the world better.

The US is shit at fighting guerilla armies despite exclusively doing so for the last 60 years. You make the mistake of invading Mexico, shit on the US side starts blowing up. Mexico won't assist the US, and if they start really sanctioning the US that's pretty much it for motor vehicles in the military. If China takes the opportunity to then sanction the US that's it for military drones and quite a lot of the air force.
Logistics and manufacturing wins engagements and wars, and other countries control both in the US.
He explicitly supports Israel and has stated one of his goals is to make Ukraine a larger Israel.
That requires genocide, as all ethnostates do.
Independence from fascist demands is possibly the best reason to temporarily hurt your economy. It's chopping off a gangrenous finger to save your arm.
The image says 16.7 for Taipei, not 6.7. neither my comment nor the image contains a 6.7.
Now you can argue all western and Eastern sources are undercounting nk and China, that's why I didn't even include nk given the natural mistrust of information from a country with less than 10k tourists a year; but any search of this info online shows the same trend: Chinese nationals dont commit suicide as often as their oppressed neighbors.
You're almost definitely thinking of xiaomi, which almost always sell as unlockable carrier independent models.
Not a lie, neither the US or EU can compare, https://e360.yale.edu/features/china-renewable-energy
So clearly they're not replacing the capacity with renewables. Or they're actively reducing their total energy capacity. That's also an explanation for those numbers.
But hey, anything to excuse the West deciding on lng for their power.
And yet they're not replacing them with green energy. Seems like they're not doing much at all.
It is more than literally every other country is doing, is my retort to that point. That and unlike western governments, they actually accomplish their goals.
Everyone could be doing more, China is doing the most. If the US especially didn't spend the last century and a half ignoring climate change while most of the world was still pre industrial agricultural societies, we wouldn't be in this mess.
And they're easier to set up securely than either renewable or the nuclear plants they'll likely later become.
Yes, it'd be great if they weren't sanctioned every other week and threatened with war and could dedicate all of their resources to leap frogging dirty tech... But that's not the world we live in, the world we live in has people that are rising in quality of life and expecting all the benefits. And they simply have more people than the US and Europe combined while only having the GDP of just the US.
It's not ideal, they've admitted as such, but it's a necessary step that all western nations took even when better options were on the table, it's unfair to criticize China when they're also producing more green energy than the rest of the world.

Who would arrest them? Dems and gop both have spent a century placing nearly all government power with scotus and the executive. The judicial isnt going to start drafting an army of armed officers of the court, so that just means the executive is going to continue to use all of the power both parties decided to give it.
