So my water chemistry professor was lecturing us about climate change, and said

“By the way, China is set to reach its 2030 carbon reduction goals in around 4 years.” Which is the first time I’ve heard a professor say anything about China that wasn’t red scare paranoia.

A student said incredulously, “How?!?!”

The professor just shugged and said “I dunno, ask them.”

I fought the urge to explain how.

Communist planning and a high value placed on educating people and the science sector babyyyyy.

    Well, i lived in Taiwan

    “Well, that must be why your takes on China are shit.”

    That’s not fair to our comrades in Taiwan, but maybe it’s a clap-back that would shut them up.
