Damn this 'broken clock' is strangely good at being right. With their CO2 emmissions plateuing last month and even starting to fall while targeting zero emissions by 2060, them spearheading cleaner energy this month with the first 4th gen nuclear reactor, and boosting trans rights with a court ruling just last week.

And of course the current new regulation in this post happening right now.

I don't care for ol Winnie and his Thousand Acre Ego, and hate many things China has done. In far too many ways they are backwards, explicitly destructive, and often refuse to negotiate.

However, and likely due to the overreach of government there, they certainly can and do make decisions I can at least agree with. If it wasn't for the general conniving and "fuck you, I prefer one-way streets" way of essentially absolute control, I'd argue they were the good guys. Problem is we know better. The world isn't that simple.

I just wish it was.

We'd be so much further along as a race if we could work together.
