You open with what's called a straw man argument - and then you proceed to avoid my questions.
What benefits or harms, if any, are there to China for their CO2/climate policy, and what benefits or harms, if any, are there to the West for our CO2/climate policy?
The issue is deeper than you realize or will allude to.
CSIS in Canada, for example, has stated that Canada is a very high target for the CCP - and it's quite clear there is influenced, regulatory capture, between US politicians and the CCP as well - most recently obviously evidenced by Xi's visit to San Francisco; not merely him visiting but all factors related to it.
The above is common knowledge for anyone not indoctrinated into sources of controlled narratives, indoctrinated into propaganda, where actual truthful narratives and logic will be dismissed as "conspiracy theories" etc; mob-suppression tactics as part of the censorship-suppression-narrative control apparatus.
I am however curious what sources, where did you get that understanding that you shared here? Was it from friends/family, colleagues, from newspapers or news channels, etc? If so where do you live?
- HKH2 3y agoI don't disagree with you. China clearly takes advantage of asymmetries, and will gain more power as a result. I just don't agree with the idea that it wouldn't happen to the West if China didn't exist.
- loceng 3y agoI didn't try to argue that point but in reality the most likely culprits of interfering aiding in regulatory capture for bad policies to exist in the world's #1 global power will be those who want to knock them down, who would benefit the most by doing so.
- HKH2 3y agoSure, so what do you think should be done?
