Disapprove of their government by all means, and even apply diplomatic pressure to encourage them to change it, but I can hardly see why anyone would want to mock their development of renewable energy. If they don't, the whole world suffers.
- konschubert 9y agoI don't know if he's mocking China. He is is expressing the ambivalent feeling that many have about China, and he's doing so in a bit of a comedic way.
- stuffedBelly 9y agoI am all for witty sarcasm, but this one doesn't add much value to the discussion given weak correlation between mass surveillance and renewable energy.
- politician 9y agoIs there a weak connection when one literally powers the other?
- stuffedBelly 9y agoYou are making assumptions. How do you know what powers or will power the surveillance system in China? Also, mass surveillance will always be there regardless of forms of energy it is on, hence the weak correlation.
- woolvalley 9y agoNot to mention running these video cameras and computer systems is fairly minor in terms of how much energy they consume compared to other activities in the country.
