How about instead of relying on random youtube videos we look at some hard evidence? like the fact that the main reason that global poverty as fallen in the past decades is because of China? per the UN and other sources: https://www.undp.org/china/blog/what-changes-after-china-defeats-poverty https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2022/02/how-china-defeated-poverty/ https://tradingeconomics.com/china/gdp-growth-annual

Or that compared to other powers their actually making a concerted effort to transition towards renewable energy: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-8d2b6944-4f7a-45b4-96fd-2d92499ff97d The Emerging US-China Energy Rivalry: Fossil Power vs Renewable Energy: https://rsis.edu.sg/rsis-publication/rsis/co26116/
