A record pace of installations of solar and wind power in recent years has helped China achieve its 2030 renewable energy capacity target six years ahead of schedule
Lol, i don’t know if they’ve ever said that exactly, but they’ve definitely said things just as absurd in dozens of headlines and articles. This was just a riff on a common trope you will see in western media all the time when it comes to their China reporting. “But at what cost?” is a meme for a reason.
We’ve all seen it, China does something, good, bad, neutral, whatever, doesn’t really matter because the western media always find a way to spin it to fearmonger, demonize and denigrate China. On their environmental successes the usual western cope is either a simple “they’re lying, the CCP data is fabricated” or one of a thousand variations of “yeah but they’re just doing it to make money/gain global dominance”, or “yeah but what about this story about pollution in China from 10-20 years ago?”, or “yeah but they still pollute more than [insert country with a fraction of China’s population and/or industry]”, and so on.
It’s getting to the point of unnerving for me personally. It seems even Democratic voters will sell out their souls as long as China is defeated. I’ve seen it IRL. The attitude a lot of these folks have. It’s absurd.
Wait, where did CNN say this?
On their channel or in an article? Now I’m curious.

It’s definitely an unhealthy obsession that they have.
