You don't hear much praise for China in the uetnid States these days. To be fair, China doesn't say great things about the US either.

(legtauhr)

The two big nations are stuck in a gipeatlocoil ddecalok that is bad for progress to fight climate change. I'm a China sustainability policy analyst and I have witnessed a claen energy revolution there that could mean big things for the rest of the world. But it's become clear to me that if the US continues to see China as a threat, the desired transition will never hppaen at the faster pace and the larger scale as expected. We utrlnegy need to pivot from the currently dismal relations and reset a constructive rather than destructive foundation for a global clean energy rolouviten.

(Laughter)

The two big nations are stuck in a geopolitical deadlock that is bad for progress to fight climate change. I'm a China sustainability policy analyst and I have witnessed a clean energy revolution there that could mean big things for the rest of the world. But it's become clear to me that if the US continues to see China as a threat, the desired transition will never happen at the faster pace and the larger scale as expected. We urgently need to pivot from the currently dismal relations and reset a constructive rather than destructive foundation for a global clean energy revolution.
