Lots of money to be made driving American jobs to China and making profits off the cheap labor...and in some cases slave labor.
China is exempt from doing anything about CO2 emissions until 2030. What do you want to bet when 2030 rolls around they get another exemption to 2040....and then 2050...

A senator accused him... He is out of power and a private citizen; he can invest in labor abuse, it's the capitalist thing to do... You are comparing nothing to nothing... You feel for it like you thought the Epstein files would be filled with Democratic pedophiles, but instead they are filled with Republican officials and their Billionaire donors. You, like all Republicans, project what you want to do on the liberals or accuse liberals of what you all are doing in secret... This Kerry thing is the same thing... He is out of the office, so who cares...
Based on available information, there is no evidence or credible, mainstream reporting characterizing John Kerry as a "labor abuser." During his 2004 presidential campaign, he was endorsed by labor unions like the CWA (Communications Workers of America) for his support of workers' rights.
Communications Workers of America Union (CWA)
- Political Context: In 2023, some Republican senators accused John Kerry of being too lenient on China regarding climate negotiations, specifically criticizing his approach towards China's use of forced labor.
- Misinterpretations: Search results show accusations against Kerry have historically involved claims about exaggerating his Vietnam war record, not labor abuse.
- Prisoner Abuse Issues: In 2004, Kerry was a vocal critic of the Bush administration regarding prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib

Update your news... You know, if you read through the Chinese threads and some climate change threads, you know China is the leader in green energy in the world because they know... and for future wars...
The claim that China is exempt from acting on
emissions until 2030 is incorrect. While China aims to peak emissions before 2030, it has active, legally binding, and international commitments to reduce carbon intensity by over 65% by 2030, increase renewable energy capacity to 1,200 GW, and peak emissions sooner than 2030.
Carbon Brief +2
Key Facts on China's Climate Action:
- Not Exempt: China is an active participant in the Paris Agreement and submitted updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in 2021.
- Active Targets (Pre-2030): China is actively implementing policies to reduce carbon emissions per unit of GDP, promote energy efficiency, and massively expand solar and wind energy.
- Peaking Goal: The goal is to reach peak emissions before 2030, with some analysis suggesting emissions may have already peaked or flattened in 2024-2025 due to rapid renewable energy adoption.
- Carbon Neutrality: China has a long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.

Prove it.... Or show it... I know our Dear Leader has been trashing our international agreements left and right.... and more... Show where China has in the last 26 years... And how times ..
China is the world's largest annual greenhouse gas emitter, with emissions rising over 80% between 2005-2019. While promising to peak emissions before 2030, critics argue China's continued, heavy coal reliance and high emissions trajectory fail to meet the 1.5°C Paris Agreement targets. Recent studies also suggest possible violations regarding restricted super-pollutants.
Key details regarding China's climate impact and commitments:
Emissions Growth: China's energy-related emissions are twice that of the U.S. and account for nearly one-third of global emissions.
Coal Dependence: Despite green investments, China continues to rely heavily on coal, which is responsible for 79% of its
emissions.
Insufficient Targets: Analysts suggest China needs to cut emissions by 30% by 2035 to meet Paris Agreement goals, a target their current policies do not meet.
International Concerns: Concerns exist regarding potential breaches of international agreements, such as detections of restricted greenhouse gases (e.g.,
) originating from eastern China.
"Developing Nation" Status: China uses its "developing-country" status to avoid stricter emission reduction responsibilities, despite its per capita emissions rivaling many high-income nations.
Offsetting Progress: The rapid increase in Chinese emissions, undermined the emission reduction progress made by other nations.
Meanwhile China continues to build new coal-fired power plants to boost energy security and balance renewable intermittency, with approvals likely to continue through 2027.

You do not seem to realize that China is motivated by renewables to be energy independent because it is a strategic necessity, not for the love of man...
China is on track to significantly exceed its 2030 targets for renewable energy capacity and forest coverage. However, it faces challenges in meeting its 2025 and 2030 carbon intensity reduction goals, with Climate Action Tracker rating its overall 2030 climate policies as "Highly Insufficient" due to continued reliance on coal and slower economic growth.
Key Progress and Projections
- Renewables: Wind and solar capacity reached over 1,673 GW by mid-2025, shattering the original 2030 target of 1,200 GW years ahead of schedule.
- Emissions Peak: China may peak its carbon dioxide emissions before 2030, potentially with coal peaking around 2027.
- Forest Stock: The 2030 goal of increasing forest stock volume has already been surpassed.
- Carbon Intensity: China is unlikely to meet its 14th Five-Year Plan target (2025) of an 18% reduction in carbon intensity. Achieving the 2030 target of a 65% reduction requires much stronger action in the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030).
- Energy Intensity: Progress has slowed, making it difficult to meet both domestic and international energy intensity reduction targets.

... China leads the world in Green energy technology. We are falling behind...
China holds the most patents for green energy, having increased its share of global clean energy patents from ~5% to over 75% since 2000, driven by rapid advancements in solar, battery, and EV technology. The nation dominates in both renewable energy patent filings and manufacturing capacity.
The New York Times +3
Key details regarding green energy patents:
- Global Dominance: China leads, followed by the US and Japan.
- Rapid Growth: Since 2000, China has grown its share of clean energy patents to more than 75%.
- Sector Leaders: China is the top contributor in solar panel, electric vehicle (EV), and battery technologies.
- Per Capita vs. Total: While China leads in total volume, other nations like Denmark are leaders in patents per capita.
.... Those coal plants are changing purpose...
China is expected to continue building coal-fired power plants through at least 2027 to ensure energy security and balance its rapid expansion of renewable energy, according to new guidelines. While new approvals have slowed, a massive pipeline of projects approved between 2021 and 2025 will keep construction active into 2026–2030.
Yale E360 +3
Key details:
- Active Construction: Projects will likely continue coming online through the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2025) and into the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026–2030).
- Purpose: New plants are designed to act as grid balancing support rather than base-load power, operating less than 20% of the time, say Yale E360.
- Long-Term Goal: Despite near-term construction, the rapid growth of solar and wind means coal use is expected to face pressure to peak, with Carbon Brief reporting that coal generation has "no room to expand" to meet 2030 carbon goals.

The argument that China is getting a pass is a lie... They are driven to be energy-free.... Your argument that we need to stop using green energy because China is not is a lie... I thank you for at least putting up an argument...
By investing heavily in R&D, Chinese companies now account for roughly 75% of global patent applications in clean energy technology, driving down costs worldwide
As of early 2026, over 50% of China's energy capacity is from non-fossil fuel sources, with rapid installations of solar and wind reducing its reliance on traditional energy.
China aims to dominate the global renewable market. The green sector now contributes significantly to its GDP, growing faster than the overall economy.
As a massive net importer of fossil fuels, China views renewables as a way to reduce geopolitical vulnerabilities, such as dependency on the Strait of Malacca for oil
