China, while allowing explicit criticism of the government, usually censors and prohibits critiques specifically calling for an organized protest movement. (see this study for a more scholarly account of that) I imagine that this student, in calling for a climate strike without working through government channels, has triggered that requirement and is thereby by “censored” in a way. Agree or disagree with the tactic as you will, but it’s how the CPC maintains control. By clamping down on protest movements that act outside normal channels, they hope to cut off avenues for movements to be co-opted by the Americans and other forces that would see China balkanized. The CPC is very happy for you to engage in criticism of their policies, so long as you do so from within the party and government apparatus. Working outside that apparatus is off limits, for better or worse.
This tweet goes into detail.
Basically, the Party’s onto the environmental stuff. It knows people want change. It’s making that change.
It’s declared a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2060. There are huge subsidies for solar panels, and it’s the world’s largest exporter. It uses its military for huge reforestation efforts.
There’s no need for a western-seeded social movement telling them to do what they’re already doing.
It’s declared a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2060.
Thats literally worse than most other countries who are pledging 2050, and aren’t socialist.
Not only that but we need to be carbon neutral by 2030 at the latest or we are fucked.

They’re a developing nation, and well below their historical carbon budget per capita.
They’ve committed to peaking in 2030.
that doesn’t mean billions won’t suffer long term because of the party not taking drastic immediate action. that being said, it’s really mostly on the west and the global 1% not the majority of China.
look the only way to curb their carbon and also make a significant dent to global warming is to nuke America.
genociding native americans like a boss
I’m following your damn logic. The only factors they can handle are their own projected carbon emissions. America and other developed nations are worse polluters, per capita than China.
yes, a large amount of Chinese people live in poverty. Doesn’t the mean the capitalist class of China aren’t responsible for a considerable amount of carbon emissions, like the rest of the global 1%. Borders are stupid, don’t compare per capita. Class analysis of emissions is really the only relevant analysis.
They’re a developing nation
Delusional
Sure, the major cities are hot shit, but there are parts of China, especially rurally, where it’s all but a completely different country.
That’s why it’s still considered ‘developing’.
White imperialist moment shes obviously paid by cia
This person is a bad-faith shitposter, do not pay them any mind.
