    its target of 2060 rather than 2050 for carbon zero.

    On the one hand, both of those targets aren’t good enough.

    On the other hand, at least China is serious about it whereas the West just picked a date to kick the can.

    That was about the most intense propaganda ever. I have a hard time judging if the writer is terrified of his Chinese overlords or just madly in love with them. In either case the tone is just of putting.

    As for the matter at hand I see no issues at all with meeting climate goals while not buying Chinese tech. Reduction remains the most important part of fighting climate change and road vehicles and energy are large carbon sources yes but hardly all. Acting like solar, wind and EVs will solve the climate crisis is misinformed at best.
