Its because China isn't beholden to a bunch of invisible suits demanding money over all else. Apparently the US can't break from Citizens United, and tell this corpos whats what to literally save its own skin.

China doesn't have oil and they want to be energy independent. Because of this they heavily invest in renewables.
It's not like they are doing it to save the planet, but it does save the planet.
Building giant empty cities in the middle of nowhere doesn't help the housing crisis in China.
Building giant solar and wind farms in the middle of nowhere does help with the pollution crisis.
Glad that they finally found something that uses dumping money in the middle of nowhere that can actually improve peoples lives instead of just prop up an economic bubble.
