    My whole point was that the EU buys plenty of solar and wind off China, you are making a show of yourself now looking for holes to pick in the argument that you already lost. You think I am lying by omission, I think you are moving the goalposts after losing the argument.

    LMAO that’s not how it works Einstein. The idiots in EU can do idiot things inside the EU. They don’t get to tell Chinese people how to live.

    I’m glad you find it funny but this is exactly how it works Einstein. The EU found China was subsidising it’s auto industry so they tariffed the Chinese auto makers that broke EU rules. It is not telling Chinese people how to live, live however you want but if you want to sell to us, which they clearly do they have to obey our rules. What do you even mean this is not how it works, this is what is happening right now, doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, lol.

    But yes, you can certainly cut yourself off from the biggest industrial economy in the world and see how that works out for you.

    This is grand, we will just buy our cheap plastic crap elsewhere, lol. We should have cut China off the minute they spat in our faces by supporting Russia, Chinese support is the only reason Russia is still in this war.

    Oh man, wait till you learn about eminent domain.

    You accuse me of lying by omission, I will raise you with a false equivalency. Compulsory purchase orders value property at current rates favourable to the land owner. Not the same thing as the Chinese government owning the land under you and being able to low ball your short remaining lease or not renewing your ground lease. My wife’s uncle had his house and garden bought by government CPO for £15 million in the 1990s, not a bad deal of you can get it.

    You then give me a selection of 3-4 year old news articles about the Russian war as if we live in a vacuum and they are still relevant. Nothing changes more quickly than people’s opinions, your out of date articles are useless here buddy and don’t disprove the official voting record. If they make you feel better in your feelings go on ahead and keep reading your old articles.

      And my whole point, from the very start, that you were replying to was that it’s a tiny percentage of the overall energy mix, and that if Europe was actually serious about clean energy then it would be a lot higher. Incredible that you still can’t wrap your head around this. Nobody is moving any goalposts on you. You’re just full of shit and don’t even have the dignity to admit when you’re wrong.

      This is grand, we will just buy our cheap plastic crap elsewhere, lol.

      Imagine being such an ignoramus to think that’s what China produces. You’re like a housecat that thinks that it owns the house. Eurotrash are the most deluded people to walk this earth. You see yourself so superior to Americans, but in reality you’re way dumber. Even idiots like Trump are running circles around you chuds.

      You accuse me of lying by omission, I will raise you with a false equivalency.

      It’s not a false equivalence dummy. It’s the exact same thing. The fact that you’re trying to paint it as such is hilarious. You got caught lying loser.

      You then give me a selection of 3-4 year old news articles about the Russian war as if we live in a vacuum and they are still relevant.

      Feel free to provide articles that anything changed. And here’s a more recent article for you to cope over https://thehill.com/policy/international/5816375-china-global-approval-surpasses-us-gallup/

      You’re so bad at lying, it’s frankly comedy gold here. Can’t wait to see what drivel spews out of you next.

        And my whole point, from the very start, that you were replying to was that it’s a tiny percentage of the overall energy mix

        You would still be incorrect, almost 50% of electricity generation in the EU was from renewables. In China this figure was somewhere between 35-42%. Sort out your own house before you go knocking other people’s.

        if Europe was actually serious about clean energy then it would be a lot higher

        Imagine pontificating about what others do about clean energy while standing on a mountain of coal. China is the most polluting country in the world by about 3x the country in second place (USA) in terms of CO2 emissions. You dirty boys can sort your own polluted country before lecturing us in the EU you massive hypocrite. You are like a drug addict telling me to go easy on the sugar. I’ll take my advice from someone with a shred of credibility, you talk to me about dignity? Please! Also you telling me in your last comment that we can’t tell the Chinese what to do while you are telling us that we need to buy more solar panels from you, do you not understand what hypocrisy means?

        Imagine being such an ignoramus to think that’s what China produces

        The world was fine before China joined the WTO and we will be fine if we were to stop trading with them, China on the other hand certainly needs our money to sustain its economic growth. If growth stops in China the whole pyramid scheme collapses, China can’t afford to fight both the USA and the EU in a trade war, not with China’s massive and potentially crippling debt problem. Maybe if China didn’t do so many state subsidies they wouldn’t be in so much debt?

        I don’t get how you think Trump is “running circles” around the EU, there is no evidence of this here. The EU has finally faced up to its position in the USA - EU alliance and has made promising steps to secure sovereignty while keeping trade with the USA going and money coming in. Is China somehow winning with a 30% drop in year on year trade and falling with it’s former biggest customer.

        It’s not a false equivalence dummy. It’s the exact same thing. The fact that you’re trying to paint it as such is hilarious. You got caught lying loser.

        I’m not sure if you are lying or just don’t understand that 70 year lease on every piece of land that is worthless at the end is the same as the government in Ireland doing a compulsory purchase order paying fair market value for your property if the land is needed for critical infrastructure. This is absolutely a false equivalency, only a lack of education would make someone think they were in any way similar.

        You’re like a housecat that thinks that it owns the house.

        And you guys in China got a sniff of money and now think you are royalty. There is nothing unique about the Chinese economy and now that China isn’t as cheap any more there is no incentive to buy from them any more. We will move the manufacturing of our cheap polluting plastic crap to Africa or India and if they get delusions of grandeur we can move it again.

        Feel free to provide articles that anything changed. And here’s a more recent article for you to cope over

        First you give me out of date articlesthat support the view of your echo chamber and now you present me with this unrelated crap. Big whoop, China is now liked more than the genocide supporting imperial scum Americans. Congratulations on winning the tallest dwarf competition! America does all of that bad stuff and China is still hated as much as America. You have literally presented me with an article about how hated both China and the USA are, congratulations.

        We all know why the world dislikes China too, we haven’t forgotten China’s own ongoing genocide against its Uyghur people. All of China’s neighbours dislike China as a result of their squeaky voiced sabre rattling around the South China sea while building their little loser islands that nobody else acknowledges. Both China and the USA suck ass.
