china's been hard at work, switching to solar energy, reducing emissions, and sending spacecraft to the moon. meanwhile, every western country is busy playing in the sandpit of "what if fascism again?"
This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

why do they want to turn it into an AI and robotics juggernaut? is it because their car sales are doing poorly? do they understand why that’s happening?
