I’ve been saying for a while that China will quickly decarbonize. The Chinese government doesn’t think in a 4. They also don’t need to listen to the citizens fight back about environmental laws as the citizens can’t. It’s also worth noting that when disasters keep striking its time to change the Emporer so saving the climate is saving themselves.
IIRC, the Mandarin for “four” sounds similar to “death”, so it is considered unlucky/inauspicious. I think OP was subtly suggesting that the CCP would rather do something to avoid the consequences of climate change than not. Those consequences including social upheaval, resulting in an unhappy populace, resulting in their possible removal from power.
