Been reading through my usual posts and this thought popped up in my head. Did a bit of searching and now I'm curious what y'all's analysis is on this. And how potentially the CCP will respond to climate related consequences in the coming decades since they are becoming an increasingly massive superpower and their actions will have global impacts for the rest of the world.
China has given itself the task of solving green tech once and for all which means it has to solve the tri-fold problem of scalability, efficiency, and material sustainability, tho despite successes this is becoming increasing difficult due to US aggression and the Euros shutting China out of green tech research
As a result it's been forced to make an impossible choice; short-term expansion of coal to sustain economic growth which pays for green tech research which leads to long-term total conversion of the economy to green tech which solves geopolitical and climate concerns for China, it's a gamble that requires no margin of error
But juggling western aggression, poverty elimination and hard-problem climate research investment increases the chances of errors
