Every year, charities with leadership linked to the Chinese Communist Party pump millions of dollars into American environmentalist charities, and, in turn, United States nonprofit groups affiliated with the green movement send millions more overseas to aid either the Chinese government directly or organizations closely linked to it. Major American foundations, collectively controlling tens of billions of dollars' worth of assets, take it upon themselves annually to support the Chinese government’s environmental and diplomatic goals. Nonprofit organizations such as the Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Packard Foundation, and the Hewlett Foundation provide both direct and indirect support to the Chinese state in achieving its climate agenda. On the other side of the equation, many of the environmental charities operating in the U.S. and funding domestic activism have leadership and goals closely aligned with the Chinese government. Policy analysts, such as those at the right-of-center Heritage Foundation, have argued that China’s support of green energy, both domestically and abroad, is part of a broader strategy to “transform its energy resource vulnerabilities into a net advantage.” Heritage Foundation analysts argue that China has “hijacked” the American environmental movement for its own benefit, as China has a significant economic interest in replacing fossil fuels with alternative forms of energy. China is the world’s largest producer of solar panels and has a massive and growing electric vehicle industry. Unlike the U.S., China has relatively small oil and gas reserves. Energy Foundation China, which became independent from the San Francisco-based Energy Foundation in 2019, has emerged as a major funder of American environmental activists. The organization also happens to be largely staffed by former members of the Chinese government. America’s green movement has a China problem At least our incoming President will serve America's interests with his energy strategy rather than serving China's interest by hamstringing our own domestic energy production.
Oh, well if the "right of center" (lol) Heritage Foundation (who Exxon contributes generously to) says so we should take it seriously
"At least our incoming President will serve America's interests with his energy strategy rather than serving China's interest by hamstringing our own domestic energy production." Only if it benefits Trump or his big donors. That is all that motivates that non-Christian, nothing else.
Wait, I thought that we couldn't move to alternative energy-based strategies because it doesn't matter because China wouldn't do it too and, therefore, what is the point. Now, we can't do it because China strongly supports the world moving to alternative energy sources as it will benefit them over the long-term?
so… China gives American private charities a lot of money, who turn around and give it back to China? Even if true (for a ridiculous as it sounds on the surface)… so what?
