That doesn't seem to be being fair to anyone at all, China or Western. I'm not seeing indication many governments in the West care about people jumping up and down over their green-lighting yet another fracking project, gas power plant, etc. Or that they're taking the demonstrable environmental issues with plastics, climate change, biodiversity and so on the least bit seriously. Our governments are already playing favourites by frequently subsidising fossil fuels, funding roads but not rail etc. For example, the most recently elected British government happily swung the pen and removed nearly all the feed-in tariffs on sustainable energy. In the process eliminated much of the nascent, and growing, sustainable energy sector in the UK. The most charitable way I can view that is as incredibly blinkered and short sighted.
