China’s Xi Jinping and the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen were among the leaders on a private video call organized by the United Nations.
Good. Trump is not who you want at a climate meeting.
I wonder if he would have wanted to be at that meeting
Of course, but only because he wasnt invited.
The US has been a petro-state for over a decade. Can’t imagine what they could bring to the table at this point. Probably the most effective policy towards the US is the same one applied to Iran or Cuba.
A “certain major country” is keen on unilateralism and protectionism and has caused “serious impact” on international rules and order, Xi also said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
That’s rich coming from China. They have never supported or even participated in the rules based order. From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc…
From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc…
At this point you could literally be talking about the US with this sentence.
What do you mean? 'Murica doesn’t use anything uncouth as foreign police stations; they only have sparkling extradition treaties and Interpol! Don’t put The Leaders of the Free World™ with the barbaric Chinese!
/s obviously screw them both.
Our last standing differentiator was IP law, until we got weapons of mass IP destruction in the form of AI companies and LLMs.
The rules based order has always been a farce. Doesn’t excuse the evil shit they do, but let’s not pretend the West was respecting the rules it set up.
And yet, there’s nothing inaccurate in his statement.
But the question is, is he wrong here?
Wrong in the sense that they have been doing everything they accuse the US of doing for decades.
That you can make such grossly hypocritical statements publicly means you aren’t serious about anything.
Actually, judging by its actions, the US has not abandoned climate action. It’s the only way I can explain why it is planning the collapse of its own economy.
