I wrote an op-ed about China’s double-carbon policy and its implications for global climate change action 🌱

You can access it here: tinyurl.com/45tbfhm5
✍️ In this op-ed, @cerencevik.bsky.social analyzes China’s falling CO2 emissions, which has the potential to redefine the pace and politics of global climate action, but demands closer scrutiny. 🇨🇳♻️

Why am I forced to use AI whenever I do a google search. There is no way to turn it off either.
So I did what any sane human should do, changed the search engine I am using.

Even more interesting things are happening. China’s response to the #Tiktokban ended up being allowing international users to register on #Douyin

Last century, Marxists grappled with the ‘agrarian question’: was the peasantry disappearing and, if not, what could be done? Now, after decades of breakneck urbanisation, China is seeing its face from the other side: are the cities filling up as planned and, where not, what to do? By Jane Hayward.
