What's up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It's not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

China is literally the only hope humanity has to survive climate change at this point and if you're not aware of that you're ignorant, sorry some-controversy

Don't want to start an argument, genuinely asking, how is china the "only hope"? If we look at certain european countries, or even canada, brazil or the drc, they run on a much larger percentage of renewables than china. China is still running 60% coal.

As for tech, china does have a lead in many technologies, but it's not like they're the only ones that can make good products in those categories.

I have literally never in my life heard of a country make an ambitious climate goal and then actually achieve it other than china. China is the only country actually investing substantial money into all that renewable energy research while western countries cling to fossil fuel profits (almost like capitalism affords incredibly wealthy oil companies inordinate political and economic authority, huh).

There's literally a fucking meme of California vs China talking about high speed rail, after like 20 years California had built shit and China's built over 25000 miles of it. I'm pretty sure here in present year that's 46000 miles of it.

China is stockpiling resources and building infrastructure to plan for the absolute devastation that is going to be wrought on human society over the next few decades. What the fuck has literally anyone else done? If any country in earth is going to be resilient enough to weather the crop failures and super storms we're destined for and, god fucking i hope, be in a position to help anyone else (and with an ideological basis that would impel them to without expecting a century of debt bondage in return) it's going to be China.
