Climate change doesn't care about ideological divides, says policy analyst and China expert Changhua Wu. Here's what she says the US can learn from the progress China has made on the clean energy revolution -- and why collaboration instead of competition is the key to avoiding climate catastrophe.

Regardless of what people want to believe, it is fundamentally important that all the superpowers of the world work together to solve this crisis. This is not something countries can solve on their own.

I agree. China and US should have to be a role model ob climate change mitigation . Since China and US are largest contributor on green house gas emissions, so china and USA and other developed nations has a great responsibility. Great power comes with great respobsibility.

Unfortunately transparency isn’t the CCP’s strong point…

"Green" energy is the main cause of climate change (change in weather patterns) not the 0.2° increase in global average temperatures. One volcano eruption puts out 10x the total yearly human contribution

US and China should work together, not against each other

I liked her talk. I just did not like her hidden message in her words. What was it? Simply "Let's tackle the climate together UNDER the Chinese leadership". I would not have the problem with that if I knew China is a team player which is not. It is just my opinion so don't crucify me, it is just how I feel and see it.

Climate change principally requires cutting GHG emissions, not necessarily an energy transition. Industrialized production is what caused this nightmare, so it is curious how more industrial production has become the focus. Unsurprisingly, both America and China are still increasing gas and coal consumption, respectively. Show progress on reducing energy consumption, and we can be impressed. We cannot solve our problems with the same economic system we used to create them.

USA AND CHINA SHOULD WORK TOGETHER ASAP AS CLIMATE CHANGE IS HURTING THIS WORLD AND OUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT FAST!

This should have been aired on the first of april

I appreciate China’s progress. The CCP might not be what we want as a governing body here in the USA, but China has embraced it’s cultural improvement at a phenomenal pace, like 50 years.

From what i have seen about the corruption in the housing market and construction in china. i hope china's green energy program isnt as corrupt an rotten in greed.

Algorithms recommend what we like to watch, and if we're not actively looking for different points of views, most likely we'll be exposed to views we agree with most of the time.
I’ve been trying to watch various channels to try to make comprehensive understanding of the world.
I’ve made many videos teaching Chinese language vividly and in a humorous way. I hope somebody can recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese. For beginners, Chinese characters may look complicated. But once you learn about 100 basic radicals, most characters become easy.
I hope more people can learn Chinese to get comprehensive firsthand information about China and most likely seek more job opportunities.
Know ourselves as well as our partners, competitors, adversaries…..

Propaganda by its finest! No word about China’s massive coal power buildup or plastic waste cloaking the three gorges dam.

Circular ○ plus an x creates infinity or a crossing partnership that has may paths towards goals we have and have not seen yet. ❤

Stop flying jets around Taiwan. Save the CO2.

[bullishdragon]

Pivot, and change of focus... The people will make the change that we and our mother Earth needs. Governments may be in our way, why progress is slow.
We need a living reason to make change?

[prsingh]

Never trust on. China goals, terms, policies, people, govt and products 😂
