      If this actually is about climate - China installed 50% of all new renewable capacity last year. 50% of the entire world.

        It also burns more coal than the rest of the planet combined.

          They use a disproportionately large share of coal compared to other non renewables.

          They use less energy per capita than the United States (about 1/3). And they both use close to the same amount proportionally of non renewable to renewables. (88% China, 81% US)

          https://www.worldometers.info/energy/

          So effectively the hand wringing about their current power consumption while they are making strides toward renewables is not productive.

        You’re not allowed to protest in the west because China pollutes more, and you aren’t allowed to protest China because you’re a westerner and should stay in your line.
        Very conveniently you’re allowed to protest alone in your home, as long as noone will see you.

          China uses 1/3 of the energy per capita compared to the US. They have far more people.

          Also you as the consumer did climate change. Those in power were just following the market so it’s basically your fault cause you used some energy and plastic sometimes.
