They use a disproportionately large share of coal compared to other non renewables.
They use less energy per capita than the United States (about 1/3). And they both use close to the same amount proportionally of non renewable to renewables. (88% China, 81% US)
You’re not allowed to protest in the west because China pollutes more, and you aren’t allowed to protest China because you’re are westerner and should stay in your line.
Very conveniently you’re allowed to protest alone in your home, as long as noone will see you.
Also you as the consumer did climate change. Those in power were just following the market so it’s basically your fault cause you used some energy and plastic sometimes.
Yet no one even dares to hold china or russia accountable for what they‘ve been doing the last 10 years.
Lol nice deflection. Funny when cry about people doing something about the issue
If this actually is about climate - China installed 50% of all new renewable capacity last year. 50% of the entire world.
It also burns more coal than the rest of the planet combined.

So effectively the hand wringing about their current power consumption while they are making strides toward renewables is not productive.
10? More like 80.
You’re not wrong of course, but what are you going to do as a climate activist in the West? Honest question.
Wait, are you even refering to climate related things?
