“China's emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months, the first time energy demand growth hasn't resulted in more emissions.”
"In the first half of this year, China built more solar than the rest of the world combined. China accounts for 74% of all large scale solar and wind under construction... More than a quarter of China's economic growth in 2024 came from wind, solar and battery technologies"
How China, not the U.S., became the main climate solution story in 2025
The U.S. has become a "side character" in the global story of renewable energy, experts say. China dominates the sector, with positive implications for the climate and their economy.

It's really simple- ramp uo sanctions on russia, use secondary sanctions, and continue arming Ukraine with long-range weaponry. This isn't a matter of ability, but will.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 According to a source, the territorial discussions were difficult: "Russia continues to demand that Ukraine withdraw its troops from the parts of Donbas it controls, but the US is trying to develop new options to overcome this problem." — Axios

Seeing a leader of the United States adopt this line is revolting. While the US remains imperfect, it is also the global leader in FDI as well as the world’s leading destination for inbound investment. China would love to have an economy like America’s.
