“It was announced that President Xi announced cuts in coal fired power generation to comply with strong requests to comply with the climate change urgings of the Euros and the Americans”
Sorry, I don’t buy that for a minute. But I have been watching events in Australia, China’s largest supplier of coal, and China is pissed as hell at Australia, first for stating the obvious on the virus (China caused it) and recently for buying the nuke subs. So, China has been ‘punishing’ Australia by no longer buying their coal (or buying far less, not sure)...and they can’t seem to find anywhere in the world to make up the difference.
“ and they can’t seem to find anywhere in the world to make up the difference.”
Try the Riyadhi family in Indonesia. Bill Clinton helped them out with the coal problem back in the day.

Yep. But it makes a good story and a superb way to get the people ti rise up against climate change whining of the Euros
