Huh, some commenters raise a good question. What are the non-capitalist countries doing to fight climate change?

China is building out massive renewables and massive coal.

My list is short, please add to it.

Run by communists with a majority public sector and control of private enterprise? Hmm. Doesn't sound correct.

TFW Tencent isn't considered capitalist

Tencent existing as a private enterprise is compatible with the statement you are responding to.

It's state capitalism with a veneer of communism.

All capitalism requires a state, the fact that you call an alternate system "state capitalism" just goes to show that you need to do more research on what capitalism is.

According to DuckDuckGo

State Capitalism: An economic system that is primarily capitalistic but there is some degree of government ownership of the means of production.

Basically capitalism managed and owned by the state. This is not communism, nor even socialism. China is communist in name only.

Lol
