Good. I assume it helps that most of the world's solar panel manufacturing is based in China.

The rest of the world should be ramping up production, not relying on China for cheap labour.

its obviously good for the rest of the world to industrialize, but they would just be moving carbon emissions from china to themselves.

they themselves would need to transition to renewables if we want this move to be good for the climate.

That would be the point of making panels and wind turbines themselves.

Ideally you'd want enough manufacturing capacity to power your whole country with renewables, in the time it takes for the first bits to start needing replacements.

well arab countries have visited them and found no problem and mass refugee movements arent happening. i think they should be fine.

I trust the Arab countrys as far as I could throw them. Get the Irish in there and I may take such claims seriously.
