Things that make you go Hmmm.

Heh.

You know, the easy bash on China is their treatment of the Uyghurs ("alleged" incarceration, rape, organ harvesting, religious persecution, etc. Sucks to be a Uyghur: sometimes you just gotta admit your side lost, I guess.)

The better bash when it come to hypocrisy:

China built an insane amount of coal plants in 2020 alone; more than all the current capacity of Western Europe combined. Said another way, China built more coal fired electrical plants in 2020 than the entire rest of the world.

Not sure how you square Delta's commitment to reducing carbon emissions while simultaneously doing everything it can to make nice with China who clearly doesn't GAF about anything green.

Almost...cynical, one might think.
