Also China is actually working on this problem and like making progress... Just saying.

"China’s carbon emissions have flatlined over the past six months and there’s now an opportunity for substantial declines over the next decade, analysts say.

"The rapid growth in clean energy generation has been sufficient to offset a recent surge in power demand caused by higher air conditioning use amid late-summer heatwaves, and the government’s manufacturing push, according to an analysis by Lauri Myllyvirta of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).

"China’s carbon emissions fell by 1% in the second quarter of 2024 and were flat in the third quarter, providing another indication that emissions may have already peaked."

Those emissions are also our emissions

‘Trump Was Forced to Back off’: Even Fox News Reporter Thinks President Caved on China Tariffs

Prominent Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino has broken with the MAGA party line and admitted that Trump “blinked” in negotiations with China over reducing tariffs.

Gasparino went on a tweet spree after the truce was announced and the two countries, according to the Trump administration, agreed to wind down levies with a 90-day pause.

During the pause, the U.S. will impose a 30 percent duty on goods from China, down from 145 percent, Bloomberg reported. China will reduce its tariffs on products made in the U.S. to 10 percent from 125 percent.

And while some on the right take a victory lap, Gasparino was on hand with a blunt assessment.

“Both sides blinked,” Gasparino wrote on X Sunday. He followed up by responding to a person who seemed to suggest the reporter had called a win for the U.S. “I didn’t say we won,” he replied.

Gasparino, who is presumably not interested in being promoted from the Fox Corporation into Trump’s administration like 23 others from the network, then broke it down—strongly asserting that the president was “forced to back off.”

“Trump raised tariffs on the world, the markets, particularly the bond market—which we need to finance our debt—rebelled,” he wrote.

“Trump then was forced to back off. End of story. Film at 11 of the president spinning this as a major victory.

Chinese companies are accelerating a purge of foreign components from their supply chains, as trade tensions with the US threaten to hasten the decoupling between the world’s two largest economies. In the weeks since President Donald Trump hit China with steep tariffs, more than two dozen companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen have told investors that they were increasing efforts to source domestic inputs to replace foreign products or expected to benefit as their peers localised purchasing. The financial filings, reviewed by the Financial Times, were issued by companies spanning the semiconductor, chemicals and medical devices sectors. They demonstrate the potential lasting impact of Trump’s trade war by effecting a permanent reordering of supply chains. Beijing has long pushed for industrial self-sufficiency with policies dubbed Made in China 2025 and President Xi Jinping’s “dual circulation” strategy, which aims to strengthen economic independence while maintaining selective global ties. That drive had been supercharged by Trump’s tariffs, which have created further impetus for Chinese companies to try to insulate themselves from geopolitical blowback, as well as by Beijing’s retaliatory levies on imports from the US, which are as high as 125 per cent.
