☆ Xi Jinping’s Green Leap Forward - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-04-19 | by ( Jacob Dreyer | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
He has brushed aside Deng Xiaoping’s maxim “To get rich is glorious” in favor of centralized planning and Communist-sounding slogans like “ecological civilization” and “new, quality productive forces,” which have prompted predictions of the end of China’s economic miracle. In recent years, the transition away from fossil fuels has become Mr. Xi’s mantra and the common thread in China’s industrial policies. It’s yielding results: China is now the world’s leading manufacturer of climate-friendly technologies, such as solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles. Last year the energy transition was China’s single biggest driver of overall investment and economic growth, making it the first large economy to achieve that. This raises an important question for the United States and all of humanity: Is Mr. Xi right?

☆ The Aral Sea’s Demise Is a Parable of Our Environmental Hubris - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-11-28 | by ( Jacob Dreyer | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Walking toward the shrinking remnants of what used to be the Aral Sea in Uzbekistan was like entering hell. I reached the edge of one of the scattered lakes which are all that remain of this once-great body of water. In the nearby town of Muynak, black and white newsreels in the local museum, and pictures in the family photo albums of residents, tell of better times. During the Soviet era, fishing communities like Muynak ringed the sea, thriving off its bounty: sturgeon, flounder, caviar and other staples of Soviet dinner tables. But over the decades, Soviet authorities diverted rivers that flowed into the sea to irrigate cotton and other crops.

☆ America and China Are Talking Again. Let’s Keep It That Way. - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-11-15 | by ( Jacob Dreyer | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
But the sons and daughters of those builders are growing up in a very different world from their parents. There is widespread and growing discussion, for instance, of how to make Chinese society more equitable, green, urban and scientific. China is undergoing a profound transition to a high-tech, highly educated, prosperous and powerful nation that its “builder generation” could only imagine. And in frontier technologies like artificial intelligence, experts agree that a discussion without China amounts to the West talking to itself. Californians, plagued by wildfires, know that there are more immediate threats to their way of life than China.
