What a deranged take on the story... The green washing mostly comes from the west btw, China doesn't give a fuck either way, they just go where it's cheaper and more efficient/convenient for them at a given time. If anything they have more reasons than the US to go green because they don't depend on decades of wars for and dependence on petrol

I can find the same for Europe and the USA... the carbon credit system is a scam by default. And regardless, it's not a "china = communism = Stalin = propaganda" problem, it's a money problem

Its a western perverse incentives to lie to yourself + money combined with eastern face culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(sociological_concept) and maoist reality is what the loudest person in power shouts combined into a hyper toxic mix of lies. That whole investment would be so much more productive if went straight into a state governed fusion lab instead of into some pretentious "lets pretend" circus of fraud.
