The hope is that other countries, reassured by that commitment, will follow China’s example rather than America’s.

      This is a pretty shallow take, have you consider not looking the world in black and white?

      All countries do this type of commitments with doing something against climate change. Some do more or less, but most if not all end up missing their own targets. Global temperature change following the worst predictions is kind of a sad proof* of it.

      Unless you call the article anti China propaganda, all it says to sustain “China is leading green energy” is Xi commiting to things. I don’t deny China is advancing steadily on green energy, but the article sounds like swallow propaganda.

        You don’t consider? That’s a statement of opinion driven by feelings, not a statement of fact backed by data .

        Anyway, EVs was not the only thing they’re doing.

        It also says “It should be pointed out that reducing emissions at the pace promised by Beijing means a decline of about 1 percent a year. According to an analysis by William Lamb of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, this is a slower pace than that held by most industrialized nations. Italy, for example, has reduced them by an average of 3.2 percent every 12 months since their peak in 2006; the United Kingdom by an average of 2.8 percent since 2004; France by 2.3 percent.”

        And
