    China is a developing country, and yet is doing far more for the planet than the EU in its construction of an ecological and productive society. The EU is parasitic and imperialist, it depends on exploiting low wages globally in order to continue to exist, which is why it’s falling into chaos and to the far right as their superprofits are drying up. The EU is parasitic and is far more damaging to the world than China because they depend on consumption of other countries without producing much at all themselves.

      China is developed and they are the main driver of global warming. Everything you attack the EU for is out of their control and in chinas control. No one is forcing china to make goods, no one is forcing them to dump chemicals in their rivers, no one is forcing them to have zero labour laws, no one is forcing them to use the least environmentally friendly production methods. This is all well within the control of the CCP and its an active choice to not implement that policy.

        China is a developing country. The idea that China is developed while being largely rural and still undergoing rapid development is silly.

        Everything I attack the EU is in the EU’s control. The EU did not need to become imperialist, super exploiting the global south for super profits. The EU did not need to colonize Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The EU did not need to de-industrialize while retaining imperialism so as to push all of the dirty work required to sustain their lifestyles on the backs of foreign labor.

        China on the other hand is rapidly improving electrification, expanding green energy, qualitatively transforming how they produce and consume so as to have a lower carbon footprint, and much more. They are not mass dumping chemicals in rivers, nor do they have “zero labor laws,” in reality they have strong labor protections and the largest Union in the world. They use environmentally friendly methods and are only improving on this fact.

        You’re confusing your chauvanism for reality.
