    China is basically what the western world was in the 60-70’s where progress were all over the place.

    Still behind in terms of alot of things, especially workers rights, but it’s not going backwards like it is in the US.

      Like all countries, there’s some good and bad things to say, but I think that investing in renewables was a very smart move on their part.

        They still did it for all other reasons than being eco friendly.

        They simply just have the minerals and mines for solar and batteries. And the big one is offering the world an alternative for oil, which takes a big chunk into US profits.

        We are just lucky that it also means cleaner air for everyone.
