China must ditch coal - but will it?
60 per cent of China's power comes from coal - so how likely are Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent climate pledges?
Nobody cares. China will do whatever seems best for China, now and for the foreseeable future. Forty years from now is not the foreseeable future, although reliable contact tracing may be with us by then - the Chinese version.
As China's middle class grows and prospers, I wonder whether it will give rise to Extinction Rebellion types who chain themselves to railings and disrupt airports? I somehow doubt it.
ReplyDeleteSam - welcome back and yes, I doubt it too, although the CCP needs the economy to keep buzzing along and a demographics could be a problem.
