i dislike things about China's government, but the one thing you can't say about them is "they're incompetent"
addressing climate change is the only competent money making proposition if you look at the big picture
You definitely can make a case that they are as well. The main reason they are looking so good is the US is smoking meth and causing chaos.
Covid, their property market, youth unemployment,huge emissions growth and the many major industrial disasters. The insane mishandling of natural disasters like floods, remember the government officials that opened the upstream dam without any warning and flooded a tunnel during bumper to bumper rush hour. Oh and the genocide they're carrying out.
I'm not sure how much of this makes it to the world news but these were all huge news events for the Asia pacific region.
sorry yes. that's on me. these are all issues i have with china's government. they are ultimately a ruling class that exists to enrich an oligarchy. all of these things are bad. from my american perspective, they are bad for evil reasons, not for incompetence reasons. these are all desirable policy choices for the Chinese state.
it's just my government is both evil and incompetent.
