It is not merely the green policies. It is smart for China to focus on renewables because the sun and wind cannot be interdicted by the US navy
Unless the USA sanctions the Sun.
@@michaelmarchal4004 Maybe they can build a China sized sun blocker like Mr Burns in the Simpsons. That might work.
Even if china got 100% of its energy from imports. The US wouldn't block these imports because of how crucial china is to the global economy.
It wouldn't make sense to try to cripple China's economy, because that would affect other countries the exact same way, including the United States.
And China's importance is not shrinking, it continues to grow. With china moving up the value chain, and trade with other countries growing rapidly.
China is the largest trading partner for majority of countries globally. It just wouldn't make sense to try to cripple China's economy

Why cant Singapore media understand something as simple as output per capita ? Are they high on US cool-iad ? Such low standard journalism.
Singapore government is afraid of US overthrowing the PAP regime - So they behave like a puppet to be safe
CO2 per capita is one measure but it does not push to the responsible party to take action. China produces 30% CO2 because it manufactures 30% of goods. Most of CO2 is not caused by individual citizen. In US, CO2 is largely produced by individual citizen (e.g. automobiles). I am glad that Chinese government take strong actions by being willing to take the responsibility as a world citizen. On the country, US often accuses other countries while taking near no action to cope the climate crisis.
USA says it won't allow China to grow in green tecnology without checks
You know what's the difference between CIA & CNA? One is run by the other.
china is THE factory of the world, manufacturing almost all the stuff we consume while US barely manufactures anything!!! of course china would be emitting more?!?! just showing the numbers without putting them into prospective is misleading.
A few things to say:
1 - While I appreciate that CO2 production volume is what it is, I really don't think those figures should be shown without a breakdown of per capita use. It would be like comparing USA to UK.
2 - In these kinds of conversations, there is rarely any mention of the decades (centuries?) of harmful emissions produced by the "developed" world. There is certainly a cumulative effect over time, and it's conveniently easy to point the finger at "developing" nations in the present, forgetting the damage done in the past.
3 - While China may not be "perfect" (no country is) it must be said that this kind of planning, execution and progress simply couldn't happen in a country where leadership is not actively dedicated to improving the quality of life and welfare of its people, and where the government can change every four years, undoing the achievements of the past if they choose to. The "democratic" model of voter representation in many countries is not the sole viable system of governance.
(note - I'm a UK citizen who has lived in China for almost 20 years and become increasingly impatient with the anti-Chinese narrative continuously peddled by the Western media and politicians. I am still frequently amazed by what this country and its people achieve, and consider myself very lucky to be living here.)
Also UK here! We do see what the media are up too! I consider USA to be the biggest global threat to people on this planet not Putin or China! As for the historic carbon, couldnt agree more despite UK coming out in top place! Maybe 3 graphs, historical emissions. 50 yrs and current to give scale! China working out they dont have to import decent coal from Australia and oil from the war mongering Middle East means they can become vastly richer by producing their own power and its clean!
Bro this news reporter is so clueless... China's efforts since 2006 are already paying off in terms of air quality.
Infact, Chinese people live 2 years longer now because of improving air quality... If you look at China's air quality in 2011, and look at China's air quality now, the difference is literally night and day. The air quality has improved significantly, and continues to improve.
The newscaster is a US shill, so her paymaster demands that she criticise China.
She didn’t say it wasn’t improving 😂
@@ShabazzTBL "it's supposed to improve" is what she said. It has already improved, and continues to improve.
Thanks Xi
An interesting fact of increasing coal plants is the replacement of older, more polluting ones with more efficient ones. They're also reducing CO2 emissions per Mwhr they produce. It's still gone up but they've likely reached their peak this year and will start to decline albeit too slowly for me.
another highly biased report. on a per capita basis, Chinese emission is much lower when compared to the US - this happens even when China is actually building numerous industrial products for the entire world. a far better metrics would be the emission required for all your actual consumptions, otherwise nations can just "outsource" their emission and start pointing fingers.
Emission per capita is a meaningful number just like Gdp vs gdp per capita.
but china only has one vote in UN. should this be changed?
@user-rt6ip4kb1i
Stop smoking whatever you are smoking.
Coal-fired power per capita is meaningful.
@@fromtheoutside37 i agee, the west will not agree as their per capita value is very high, and it is very low in China.
@fromtheoutside37
Oil buring does not generate co2?
I have to ask: do you gradurate from primary school? Or you dropped out at 3rd grade?
China always plan for success.

Is it? Then why China property price keep crushing? Ten of millions default on mortgages payment . Why?
@@ericphua2359 because you spent too much time on internet
@chairmantrump4796 That a dump reply 😅. The property prices keep crushing was due to declining population, hence declining demand. That cause by China planned forced population controlled. In short, it karma.
@@ericphua2359well it’s not a good news for the rich, new couple loves it
@koolapope Agreed that those who to buy for stay -in will find it more affordable. But for the current owner, who loses 50% of their property value, is detrimental. The increasing mortgage default in turns is causing a banking bad debt issue.
Counting Carbon emission with out per ca-pita data is just a hypocritical political gesture. Also, China is the world factory, which means the world is enjoying all the products made in China, which create carbon emission. Not mentioning these two factors show either you are stupid, or bad, in most cases, both.
Can you change the perspective of the STUPID.? Quite honestly CNA is bent on one side and partial.!
Huh! Totally with you on the first point. I hadn't even considered the second one - you're absolutely right!
U beat me to it CNA is probably funded by the CIA and US state dept trying to slowly paint a dark picture of China! Even naming it CNA is close to CNN... go figure.
Global warming started since first industrial revolution not 2015 when China started top the list of CO2 emissions. Western countries historical cumulative emissions are the main contributors of global warming, most developing countries in Asia Africa Latin America started to industrialization in 1970s.
Global warming start since 1940 by western industrialisation. It is a continue & cumulative effect. To calculate the per each individual, US is the country release the most emission per capita, 4x higher than any other country.
There was once so much pollution in London they called it the ''pea soup fog''. In living memory, was in the later half of 20th century when the worst instance recorded was the ''Great Smog of 1952''.
China exports the Energy Transition. Solar, Wind Batteries affordable EV Cars. Thats the Main Succes of China. Thank You China ❤️
During industrial time, the rest of the world was sitting duck while Europe felt free to emit whatever to develop themselves rapidly. And now when it's time for the rest of the world, we got Climate Change issue, and the rest of the world is supposed to restrain themselves from developing (because of possible emission). 😅
Yes! Yes! Yes! This!!!! It's so rarely brought up!! I totally agree with you
👍Also, when China was developing traditional industries, they criticized China for polluting the earth, now after China has invested heavily in clean and renewable energy and is leading over them in clean energy technologies, they criticize China for state subsidiaries, industrial overcapacities and subverting the existing international order. 🤣🤣🤣
0:55 can you also be more accurate about the end users of these carbon emissions, which probably are other developed countries? What happened to you CNA?
Great work Agnes in explaining the situation to this reporter.
Per capital China is way less than the USA, why don't you say that.
They don't have the balls to criticize their mater.
When to judge about China's GDP, people would always say China's GDP per capital.
That matters but ultimately the environment doesn’t care about per capita emissions. The CO2 is not going to have less effect because the per capita emissions are lower.
@@ShabazzTBL What about my second point? We China produce over half of the products of the world so you can enjoy them without emission.
@@ShabazzTBL Then emission should be measured per square kilometer? Not by per country anyway. I doubt think if the EU countries would agree with this measurement.
dont forget, China emission for the world; since it produces for the world.
Whenever Chinese build a solar panel farm, they also need to build a coal fired power plant as the backup since the sun light isn't available in bad weather day or at night. They would generate the electricity using the backup coal fired power plants in those circumstances. So building more coal fired power plants doesn't mean they would use them as a sole energy provider for the manufacturering sector. Ofc their energy storage capacity is growing too, they would even reduce the backup coal fired power plants in the future. Go China go
It's a back up plan. Coal can always reduce and increase output based on requirement
Storage such as reservoirs have been used too
Yes. exactly. In the area of a province in China, there are several days with low wind and weak sunsine every year in average. you have to prepared for the bad situation with enough flexiable resource. Blaming the bad weather for poor electricy supply would not be forgiven in China.
"In first place on the rankings, the US has released more than 509Gt CO2 since 1850 and is responsible for the largest share of historical emissions, Carbon Brief analysis shows, with some 20% of the global total. China is a relatively distant second, with 11%, followed by Russia (7%), Brazil (5%) and Indonesia (4%). The latter pair are among the top 10 largest historical emitters, due to CO2 from their land. And per capita, China is only 7.44 metric ton per capita while US is still 14.4 metric ton per capita. "
China at best is in the middle of the pack among the develop countries. And it is developed countries not developing countries. If China is classifying as a developing country, then it emission is really low.
Of course Singapore media are probably funded by the west so they always tend to find negative view. But China has 50% capacity for renewable energy. And by this rate, China will never catch up to US CO2 emission despite 4 times the population.
In the early 2000's and 2010's air pollutions in major cities in China reached the level that it became a political issue. Ever since a campaign of "battles of protecting blue sky" started, under the strong regulations of the government all over the country, carbon emissions and air pollutions have been greatly reduced, together with heavy investment for "ecological civilization" movements.
The CNA host is still living in the last decades. Air quality is so much better today. Moreover China is the manufacturing center of the world (the next 9 countries combined total) so it's natural that its absolute emissions qty is high
Keep up the spirit Tiongkok💪💪💪
China a 1,450 millions of people produces 15.7B ton (0.010B ton per million of people) while the US a 330mil people produces 6B ton CO2 (0.018B ton per million of people),
So if the US has the same population as china, US is producing 23.36B tons of CO2 (8B ton more than china)
Any country that has many population will always, always produces more CO2 equivalent emission
Can CNA do a segment reviewing the efforts and progress of USA about achieving their carbon footprint target? 😅
China is relentlessly pursuing energy independence, driven by a desperate need to evade the choking grip of the U.S. 7th and 5th fleets in potential military confrontations. While presenting a facade of commitment to renewables with the construction of solar and wind farms, China is aggressively ramping up its coal and nuclear capacities. This dual strategy is a calculated Hail Mary to secure a robust and unassailable energy arsenal, prioritizing survival and strategic autonomy over global environmental goals.
I don't think the US Navy can choke China in the Melacca Strait and South China Sea as of 2024. Maybe in the far seas, the US Navy still can but in the near seas, it cannot any more. It is no longer 2004 or 2014.
As of 2022, China was by far the world's largest *coal* consumer with 55% of energy use, an increase of 2% of the total energy from the year before.
So China is accelerating the use of coal despite it having signed the Paris agreement.
one year variation is called "accelerating", who you work for?
china keep reducing pollution. while other countries doesn't really do anything basically. for the sceptics: see the results in 2030 (china and other countries).
Reducing _growth_ in pollution, while Western countries already stagnated if not started shrinking their contributions a while back.
If China had more access to natural gas (a cleaner fuel) to power their factories rather than coal, they would emit much less pollution. But much of that natural gas from Russia had been for decades sold to Europe to power their factories instead of China.
The main reason for China to develop photovoltaics is that it does not want to be restricted by fossil energy, and secondly, it is to contribute to slowing down global warming. China has so many high-speed trains, cars, two-wheeled electric vehicles used by ordinary people, and household appliances, all of which use electricity, so developing photovoltaics is a wise choice.
what environmental concern? If you don't do it, there is no environmental concerns? Stupid question.
The USA not going to like this 😂😂😂😂
Amazing country in the world.
Singapore news media will always support the western pov and obey their pay master at all cost
"In the case of China, this equates to approximately 54.8 percent of the global coal consumption"
US: eh eh eh, dont spoil market!
Why didn't you guys mention Chinas per capita energy use instead of total use?
Good luck and speedy implementation!
US is second highest in total emssion too, its per captia is highest in world, it does not have big industry, but it produce second highest emission, what is that for? also US accounts for more than 80% of total emission in last 120 years , followed by UK, also today, most of chinas emission came from US over buying those production from china, it only has 350 million ppl but accounts for most of emission and disposal globally, US is also world largest disposal and chemical polltuer, it exports its disposal to other nations too
Love to see a country who strive to clean it's energy sector to offset it's carbon footprint,, unlike the middle east who is biggest producer of dirty energy and not doing enough to clean there mess.
Wondering why interviewing a law professor to comment on a scientific subject?
Inside China Business: China's central bank wants Marshall Plan for clean energy
lady you not ready to be a reporter yet, to much stutter and wrong info
The world should be blessed just because of China's ambitious effort, they got to enjoy dirt cheap price on green energy equipment, eg solar panel. What exactly is the problem from those supposedly "educated"?
The dirt cheap price comes from unethical and ultimately unsustainable labor practices. Luckily for Beijing the rest of the Muslim world also effectively deem the Uyghurs politically disposable.
Better than producing weapons, right?
When US uses per capita:
Gdp per capita is high in US is good.
CO2 per capita is high in US too which is also good 😂😂😂
lol.
_China accounted for 95% of the world's new coal power construction activity in 2023, according to the Global Energy Monitor._

There are 3,092 operating coal-fired power plant in China. If about 100 plant will be shut every year than it will be convincing. But in reality China permits two new coal power plants per week in 2022. Over half the world's coal-fired power is generated in China.
we should demand china to shut down all its factories, it will be a faster way to reduce carbon emission
This is a stupid video displaying ignorance. It arranges the narrative on total quantity. China is the most populous country so it have a lot of people consuming energy. China in 2023 produced twice amount of electricity than US but since China has 4 times the population so every Chinese consumes only half the electricity of an average American! An Singaporean for example actually consumes 8921 kWh/year against an Chinese at 5474 kWh/year. Thus a Singaporean consumes 62% more electricity than a Chinese.
Also every large economy is still dependent on fossil fuel. US has gas, oil and coal and can afford to use more gas than other countries. China's main fossil source is coal so it uses coal but that is another source of attack.
The important information is China is committed the targets of maximum carbon and carbon neutrality and its progress is the fastest in the world. China is the world leader in each of hydro, wind, solar and battery for energy storage.
As an example last year in 2023 China installed 217 GW of solar power in 12 month and that is more than biggest solar capacity in any country because the second runner-up US at the end of 2023 has only 179GW solar power.
The West will never be happy with China. While China actually applies itself to renewable energy, the others will point at the coal plants only. When the time comes that the emissions have dropped so considerably that China is no longer the largest polluter, the West will find something else to identify as negative, instead of following the good example. If all else fails, they will bring up "the tanks" again. It's pathetic. And I say this as a Westerner.
One of the things I appreciate and admire about China is their patience. They don't get involved in this nonsense. They just keep growing, keep learning, keep getting better and stronger. No wonder the others are opposed!!!
Isn't that overcapacity 😅
The prof sound so kan jiong
