It’s not like there are serious issues, like human rights abuses, including slavery, dumping good on the U.S. market, trade imbalances, China’s moves towards Taiwan, their military getting frisky, flying balloons at will, developing viruses, and so much more, right?
China should be pressured on climate issues, Jake Sullivan says
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday that China should be pressured to “take significant, substantial action“ in reducing emissions and fight climate change.
Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,“ Sullivan said of China: “They should not able to hide behind any kind of claim that they’re a developing nation, to step up to their responsibility. And their responsibility under the Paris climate accord is to take significant, substantial action to reduce emissions on a defined time frame in the near-term.“
And what will the U.S. do if China continues to pay lip-service and do things like build coal fired power plants in China and for African nations? Does Sullivan actually think China was serious about their Paris commitment, which, if you’ll remember, has no power of force. It was more of a pinky swear.
The Biden administration called on China to do more to help developing countries combat climate change, urging the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases to back international climate finance funds that it has so far declined to support. https://t.co/b3CMu3yEP6

It’s a constant refrain from the Biden admin, with John Kerry and Janet Yellen taking long, fossil fueled flights to kowtow to the communist leaders of China, failing to bring up anything else. It’s a joke.
