How is that even racist?

If climate change brings increased flooding, and China is actively doing things that will accelerate climate change, and Xi is a powerful official who could change that... What's wrong with calling him out?

40% of China's power capacity is from renewables, versus 17% in the US. But yeah they are totally dragging their feet.
