Great, as long as it actually works and reduces pollution. I've seen enough videos out of China of people spray painting fields of rocks to make them appear like green fields and fleets of electric cars left to rot, all in order to meet targets, that I'm a bit jaded when it comes to great achievements coming from China.

If it actually works though, that's awesome. China is one of the most polluting countries in the world, if they can reduce their impact even a bit, that's going to have great consequences.

Can you stop the brainwash a bit? That's not at all what's happening, I could link you to the facts of what's going but your comment was just so incredibly lazy that I cannot bother.

China has 3 times the area of the USA, but pollutes twice as much. Still bad though but they are improving.

I wish countries would compete with stuff like this vs only competing in physical sports and war.

It's a joke because Usonian media do stupid shit like "China Finds Cure for All Cancers, But at What Cost...".
