I mean, a lot of those what-about-China? arguments were disingenuous and self-serving. Still, there does feel like a bit of a sea change in climate hawk and energy wonk circles regarding the level of awareness that China is now fully in charge of the global energy transition
For years, people argued that there's no point in taking climate action unless China is onboard. I'm at a COP30 event where Chinese government officials and renewable industry reps are outlining the fast-paced renewable energy transition and long-term carbon neutrality plan. The story has flipped.

We need the NDP. We need a revitalized, fighting NDP. An NDP that represents the opposite of the neoliberal received wisdom. That stops ceding ground to the Conservatives on basics like, ffs, affordability?! I dunno. It feels a little bit hopeless.
