European and American countriesAlways proud of their positive performance on climate issues, for exampleEnvironmentally friendlyThe girl Greta is EuropeEnvironmentally friendlyRepresentatives of ism. Environmentally friendlyIt is worth advocating in itself, but the problem is that the United States and Europe often take advantage of itEnvironmentally friendlyIt is inappropriate to put pressure on other countries. Ahead of this year's World Climate Conference,European UnionAnother move that has caused global shock is the introduction of a carbon border tax (CBAM) on goods around the world. At its core, the CBT is a tax on emissions-intensive imports, mainly for steel products, aluminum products and chemical products, but the tax is limited to imported goods. Obviously, European countries are introducing carbon border taxes, which is what they are doingDeveloping countriesCreating barriers to development. Because steel and aluminum and other products are mostly produced inDeveloping countries, and climate issues, especiallyCarbon emissionsThe problem, in the final analysis, is one of the right to development.
After World War II, the biggest role of the world system and financial system established was to facilitate the United States and the West to harvest other countries. However, with the development of multipolarity, this system has gradually become ineffective, and the old-fashioned harvesting method is difficult to correctDeveloping countriesEffective. Therefore, the United States and the West want to develop a new model for maintaining their global leadership, such as "rules-based".International orderor set limits on climate. The meaning of the existence of the carbon border tax is achieved precisely through the mandatory taxation, withCarbon emissionsThe meaning of right is similar. Europe and the United States, as developed countries with a high degree of industrializationCarbon emissionsThe amount is naturally lower and is not levied domesticallyCarbon emissionsTax. This means that with theDeveloping countriesThe industrialization continues to deepen, toEuropean UnionpaidCarbon emissionsThere will also be more and more taxes. And the more taxes it meansDeveloping countriesSlowdowns and limitations in the pace of development. European UnionAlways flauntedEnvironmentally friendlyIt has banned Chinese photovoltaic products from entering the European market, claiming that Chinese photovoltaic products constitute dumping in the European market. However, a few years after the ban was imposed,European UnionPhotovoltaic industryThere is still no improvement, and it is not even able to support a decent photovoltaic company, so it can only reopen the market to Chinese photovoltaic products. In the end, this is to promoteEuropean UnionNew energy industryOr do you want to protect local businesses?Taking new energy vehicles as an example, this year, France took the lead in launching a countervailing investigation into China's electric vehicles and appealedEuropean UnionBoycott China's new energy vehicles. This is contrary to the "climate protectionism" they promote. Why launch an investigation into China's new energy vehicles?Quite simply, because China's electric vehicles have already had an impact on the European market for traditional combustion vehicles. Slogans are easy to say, but when it comes to core interests, Western countries first express their stance with concrete actions.
In the field of green energy,European and American countriesThere is a love-hate relationship with China. They are willing to use green energy as a countermeasureDeveloping countriesBecause they fear that China will become a global leader in this regard. Whether it's wind, solar, hydro or other forms of new energyEuropean and American countriesThey are far behind China in related fields. The same is true for new energy electric vehicles and photovoltaic power generation. Therefore, at this year's climate conference, many developed countries, including Europe and the United States, jointly proposed to triple the current global nuclear energy capacity. We have to admit that this is the product of a love-hate relationship between Europe and the United States about China's rise in the field of green energy. After all, if the pressure is not effective, and it is impossible to be with ChinaNew energy industry, then they can change their tactics and achieve their goals by forcibly slowing down China's development. The reason given by the nuclear power plant is in the same vein as the previous practice, which is still the method of moral kidnapping. U.S. climate ambassador John Kerry said at the climate conference that the world could not achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 without nuclear energy. Such rhetoric is yet another attempt to use climate change to morally kidnap the world. Due to the risks inherent in nuclear energy, Chernobyl andFukushima nuclear power plantThe aftermath of the accident is still fresh in my mind. If there is a major problem with the nuclear issue, the consequences will be very serious and far-reaching. As a country that has developed mature nuclear energy technology,European and American countriesThere is no doubt that the stakes are well understood. However,European and American countriesThe push for nuclear power is essentially because China has far surpassed the United States in wind, solar, hydro and new energy infrastructure. Once the world enters the new energy revolution, China will undoubtedly be the leader. Therefore,European and American countriesThe fundamental reason for the rush to promote nuclear power is that China and Europe and the United States are on the same page in this field, and even slightly behind in some technologies. This is a typical "if you can't win, change the track".
