China is on track to reach a fully renewable energy system by 2051, nearly a century earlier than the United States, according to a global study covering 150 countries.

I live in Taiwan and I'm one of the biggest Pooh bear critic on Lemmy.

A good amount of smog in Taiwan comes from China. The smog can sometimes be extremely thick that you could hardly see a few blocks away. We would regularly get warnings on our weather apps to stay indoors or close your windows.

In the past 2 years, I have seen our air quality improve significantly with this year being the best I have ever seen in Taiwan for at least a decade. The Taiwan government has also been improving its air quality, but with the recent closure of our nuclear plant and our crazy need to produce chips, it's 2 steps back and 1 step forward.

I gotta give credit where credit is due. China has been improving its air quality and we notice it here in Taiwan.

Still, fuck Xi and his desire to take over Taiwan.

inb4 an .ml comes here telling you that an invasion would improve your air quality because of unified standards

I'm sure they have comments. I'm pretty content with our tiny islands. They can just have the rest of the land they already have.
