China’s Next Economic Transformation: Going Carbon Neutral by 2060 | WSJ 

This is so true. Most of the west outsource their manufacture here in China. Not to mention carbon footprint in China is relatively lower than USA by lot. People complain about this, but they wont complain about cheaper product

Let's all countries in this together then, all 2060!

Agree with that, also in terms of emission per capita, China is far lower than the US counterpart. Regardless, commitment to being carbon neutral is something applaudable. This is a path of transition from a developing country to a developed one.

You are on point with this

@Heather Larson we call this double standards in China

This comment ignores the fact that China uses more than twice the amount of water than the USA

@@chozer1 but u ignore that China has 3 times US population.

@@yd9434 3 times the population and 5 times the pollution lvl

At the past when US is the biggest polluter, China didn't even blame them. Now they blaming China about it. Smh

True, per capita is one metric, but per square km is another metric. Averaging across a country is one way to look at it, and averaging across a smaller local region is another way to look at it.

So you can reproduce like rabbits and drain the resources to the point of killing sparrows and it is other countries' fault? Per capita, my foot. Too many people.

"China has the largest population" do THEY have to tell you this? is it not common knowledge?

@@godofwar4276 China had the largest population for centuries, stop talking nonsense

The West should stop forcing poor naive Chinese business owners to use cheap/dirty manufacturing methods. Consumers must stop buying from these companies.

@Who Thru Poo bs, Tesla's are far more polluting that rail or public transport in China as they also move more. Rail as well it's far more efficient even if powered by fossil fuel. Airplanes also liked far more over time especially the American military. In addition to that much of the labor is also shifting in China and isn't like the US.

Price for per km of EV is cheaper than petrol car years ago in china. Price for EV per 100 km might be 5-7 rmb. Some solar power plants electricity was cheaper than power plant burning coal since last year. A great success for many years efforts.

@Joe Duke I'm Chinese-Canadian actually, though I admit, I am completely operating on heuristics built from my own personal experience reading about China and hearing about it rather than direct personal experience. This said - "www.consumeraffairs.com/solar-energy/solar-vs-fossil-fuels.html" In particular: "Going solar is a money-saver in the long term, even though startup costs are higher for the consumer. Electricity from fossil fuels costs between 5 cents and 17 cents per kilowatt-hour. Solar energy costs average between 3 cents and 6 cents per kilowatt-hour and are trending down, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory." You're welcome. If I'm a democrat, then what are you anyways? Toilet paper?

That is arguable, when people do a comparison, they often do not include 24 hours coverage. Instead, they only include the total power produced. However, if you include a 24 hours coverage comparison, the cost of solar become really high due to the need to find ways to store energy for night use. Of course, people will not want you to know that, that is bad for business, that is bad for their "green" egos. You can look for existing case, for example, Germany. Germany has a wide range of energy; solar, wind, hydro, biomass, coal, oil, gas and nuclear. Their citizens are on a campaign of against nuclear and promoting renewable energy so what happen is their government give in and start building a lot of green. Their green almost cover half of their energy sources. Now, the problem arise, they do not have the mean to store energy for downtime use (night time, no wind), it was too costly. For comparison, Germany's eclectic price double their neighbors. What they did is go for the lower cost solution and that is turn back on the coal power plant at night. Did they reduce their carbon footprint much? Not really, and not only that, they increase their living cost. The only real low carbon power solution that doesn't break your wallet is actually nuclear. However, many don't trust nuclear, they afraid it will blow up and such. Funny is those are the same people that continue to use their smartphones, take cars/bus/trains, play computers etc; all these energy intensive activities and yet talk about how they want to "greenify" the world. Fun fact, France which is mainly nuclear powered has half the carbon footprint per capita than Germany. So in other words, we do have evidences that renewable power (at least current technology) don't reduce carbon footprints but the "green" egos people have preventing them from looking at facts.

Exactly. same with coronavirus where the world watched and laughed and even accused China of lying and there comes the pattern you mentioned

There is Soo much misinformation out there. For solar China is adding multipliers by doing agrivoltaics ( raising sheep or berries under solar in the desert) and using SODIUM batteries instead of lithium.

But, but, but government planning doesn’t work. Remember? Only the invisible hand can innovate.

@xox, sure. That’s what Asians believe but Americans reject it. Kishore Mahbubani talks about it In his book. Americans believe that, as a law of economics, the invisible hand always produces superior outcomes. We shall see who is right.

@527 Jetra , the West believes in singular truths. But Asian values are lot more nuanced. Asians are actually more capitalists and entrepreneurial. But their policies depends on the situation and the objectives. Kerry Brown discusses that in his academic research. If you believe in singular truths, then it’s a lot harder to reform.

FreeStyle it goes both ways. Where does us ships fish by the way? How long and how much has US fishery been getting their fish before they became the mouthpiece for opposing overfishing? With all this China blaming, to be fair we need to look at the grand total from past 100 years of industrialized nations fishing amount.

Its just a statement. None of those countries send fishing trawlers across the globe to empty the oceans, Or build dams that destroy eco-systems in other countries. Maybe they will be carbon neutral in 40 years but they sure would have destroyed everything around them to get there.

@@orionide4032 You just easily accept and believe trashes those medias dump to your brain. China made and sold most EV in the world.

@victor smith We need Biden to win or we're doomed.

@victor smith what? we are using more natural gas then oil. Natural gas is a solution for now because we can actually cut Co2 and methane in half within only 5 years instead of nonsense over 40 years. Also many places cant use solar because they don't have enough sun light during the winter times and the super magic batteries don't exist yet to store enough energy. Its why Germany burns brown coal because solar and wind is not suitable.

@victor smith and? I already told you natural gas is a better short term solution. We cant let China flood the market with their cheap garbage. Have you been sleeping these last few years? They would destroy our solar panel manufacturing. We couldn't compete with their slave labor at those low prices. So you would hand over that business to china as well. Think man think. You don't want China to have a monopoly over everything.

@victor smith No position in your arguing with Orionide, merely to mention, battery is not the only way to store energy. Now the the large scale is still with water.

what an American centric comment.

My fellow 🎯🎯

Plenty of options have rises for decades. Though, the invention still needs time to be figured out and integrated as well. If we refer to how much technology has thriven rapidly in this recent years, I believe the practical solution of renewable energy will surface soon.

Nuclear fission is not renewable, but it is by far the most efficient for of energy in terms of mass and volumetric capacity, in addition to being much more abundant than fossil fuels (both Thorium and Uranium).

Lol. Good luck. Even EU countries aren’t able to do it
