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.
Tell China to get with the ‘Climate Change’ gig? YGBSM. China invented the Climate Change scam to destroy our economy.
The list of Chinese physicists who “created” global warming out of whole cloth is extensive:
Joseph Fourier (1800s)
John Tyndall (1800s)
Eunice Foote (1800s)
Svante Arrhenius (1800s)
Guy Callendar (1900s)
Charles Keeling (1900s)
James Hansen (1988)
UN IPCC (1989)
Roy Spencer (2000s)
Michael Mann (2000s)
Arctic Ice (1900s-2000s)
The Reuters list of the current Top 1000 climate scientists based on a algorithm of publications, impact and influence is sprinkled with tens of Chinese climate scientists!!
Of course, it’s possible the Chinese are working sub rosa, NOT on the scientific evidence confirming global warming, but on the political response! Chinese communist influence (funding and promoting global warming and policies) on governments, UN IPCC, major religions, universities and corporations.
US conservatives have concocted a conspiracy tale that global communists are deliberately but powerfully infiltrating ALL aspects of human social structure with the objective of having a Communist One World Order (COWO) controlling all aspects of human existence. This is the greatest fear of US conservatives (well, and men in flowing gowns and Mickey Mouse and Hunter Biden).
Anyway… As it turns out, in the real world, the reality of global warming is becoming evident to “the people”, not just researchers – in Florida, Arizona, Texas, Pennsylvania, California, Canada, Australia, Puerto Rico, France, China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Iraq, Brazil etc.
“Experts advise responding to heat waves by staying indoors and paying more taxes to the government. Experts with the National Weather service warned that, if left unchecked, temps could climb even higher, causing millions to drink more water and even go swimming. We’ve never been closer to the extinction of the human race than we are right now, says Alvin Kurrig, spokesman with the NWS. ‘Only your tax money can lower the temperature now’”
