Who built more coal plants last year than the rest of the world shut down last year? Who benefits from the low price of coal thanks to the world cutting back their use of coal? Who grew their industrial economy dramatically last year? Who is the biggest carbon polluter out there? They are laughing all the way to being the next superpower thanks to the west's carbon austerity. How are our carbon sins magically absolved if we just transfer them to this country and shift all our industrial production there? The practical effect is the deindustrialization of the west and the building up of their industry with negligible net reduction in carbon emissions. If this was an intentional policy to impoverish the west and increase some country's economic power with little net environmental impact, it couldn't have been better designed.
