Beijing is set to further increase its manufacturing and installation of solar panels as it seeks to master global markets and wean itself from imports.
Gotta love this framing that is trying to get me to see China as the big bad rival.
Like, we are in a climate emergency, great if China makes a bunch of solar panels and drives down the cost, it’s the US’s fault for not recognizing that this is an emergency too and responding by subsidizing solar production in the US to the point that China’s actions weren’t a problem.
If we were talking about graphics cards, or luxury cars, or something else that wasn’t trying to combat catastrophic climate change I might feel differently, but in this context things are so desperate that it is as simple as More Solar Panels = Good
Congratulations, you’re noticing that we’re in a trade war and most discussions around China and the US are about serving their respective ruling classes.

I know that, did you have to say that in a condescending way?
I wasn’t being condescending.
Maybe you want to work on your insecurity?
My guy:
Right. The second time was intentional.
