Good. Cheap, mass produced solar and batteries from China are exactly what the climate needs, and I am sick of people treating that as a propaganda problem instead of a win. Faster, cheaper deployment in the Global South actually reduces emissions now, which matters more than purity tests about who made the panels.

Also, of course this gives China leverage, and yeah, their industrial policy is ruthless and unfair sometimes. Supply chain concentration, mineral chokepoints, and state subsidies are real problems we should fix. But the reflex to block or slow green tech because it comes from Beijing is pure petulance. That just hands the planet a slower transition while wealthy countries point fingers.

If you care about climate, stop moralizing supply chains and start competing: subsidize factories, secure critical minerals, fund recycling, help build manufacturing in the Global South, and sign export-friendly climate deals. Want to weaken Chinese influence? Outcompete them on price, quality, and partnerships, don’t sabotage the only thing that’s actually cutting emissions fast.
