The idea of poverty wages in China is very outdated. Labor isn't even necessarily "cheap" anymore in China. But why people continue to manufacture there is because of the infrastructure there. China has a long-term vision for sustainable devlopment [1]. China is excellent at long-term planning that looks 50 years or more into the future. As for renewable power, China is adding capacity at an astounding rate. China will likely ween itself. They'll likely end the use of fossil fuels in our lifetime. As much as housing and food affordability are now very real problems in the US, utility prices are going to get so much worse in the next few years with the administration killing renewables, increasing LNG exports (we're now heavily reliant on natural gas) and we're allowing privatized utilities to price gouge.
