Some insight here: one of the key factors in Chinese cultural identity is the family unit. Whereas the American family unit is limited to yourself, your spouse, and your potential children, the Chinese family unit stretches further back to your parents/grandparents. There's a much stronger pressure to have and raise children, which impacts the cultural perception of LGBT rights.
The US is increasing it's primary energy production from fossil fuel sources (by 40% since 2010) and they're decreasing total emissions? Sure...

Propaganda is flying around like crazy in this conflict and I think it's time for our community to come together and try to separate the truth from misinformation and chaff. Similar to my last post on the al-Ahli Hospital Massacre, we're going to go with the following format:
For top-level comments, post the claim being made as well as who made the claim (please cite as close to the original source as possible) and, if possible, the date/time that claim was made.
For other comments, please try to either prove or debunk claims using multiple sources and verifiable information.
Don't you have to, y'know, cross the Rockies for that?
That sounds insanely expensive.
Quebec City to Windsor? What's the other line?

Absolument. I did a deeper dive of US "emissions" here: https://hexbear.net/comment/4246041
In short, the US significantly under reports their emissions from natural gas because they don't sufficiently consider the short-term impact of methane or the degree of methane leakage occuring.
Looking at a map of China, I always have a bit of appreciation for how well they've integrated the indigenous names of all the cities.
For example, Urumqi wasn't always known as Urumqi: under Qing rule, it was relabeled as Dihua, a name it held until the CPC took power.
A little bit of contrast to the Russian approach and a huge contrast to the American/British approach of just renaming everything.

Compare progress made in the BRI to prgress made on California HSR (authority established 1996)... And people wonder why the BRI is an appealing prospect?
I guess that's why China's shifted to reporting household disposable income lol
