“...they had an underground fire in a coal mine that spews as much pollution as who the hell knows how many other countries...”
Apparently the “wild” coal seam fires in Chy-Naa [see Trump on the stump] produce more CO2 annually than all of America’s cars and “light” trucks.
YMMV...
The CCP has either pumped so much money into the pockets of the “elite”, threatened them and their families with whatever, or both, to such a point that they’re all well past the point of being able to get out of it. They’d be ruined either way.
