Finally some good news, thank you CPC and comrade Xi for shining a bit of light through the clouds of current world affairs.
So when the CPC achieves a “staggering success in combating pollution” while capitalist South Asian states become the “global pollution epicentre”, how is it framed?
The Communist Party of China is not mentioned even once, not even as “the CCP”, Xi Jinping is never mentioned, the article only talks about vague “Beijing”, “Chinese government”, “Chinese leaders”.
Systemic differences between the way China is governed vs India and Pakistan are never brought up, instead “the progress made in China shows that change is possible, if the government and its people are willing and able to put in the work”: clearly South Asians just don’t want breathable air enough to “put in the work”.
Are systemic solutions ever mentioned? Maybe South Asia needs to stop being the Wests sweatshop so that they can start healing their land? Nope, they just need a handout: “Aid from international organizations and private donors could go a long way.”
They also talk about how “China remains the world’s 13th most polluted country”, of course without a mention that this pollution was caused primarily by manufacture for Western markets and in many cases by the Western owned companies, so that the West could in many cases double dip: on the one hand, by exploiting cheap but well educated labour (that education bankrolled by the Communists, mind you) so that they could sell necessities to workers in the West at ridiculously low prices, allowing them to suppress wages in the West without guillotines wooshing; and on the other hand by exporting the profits of the entire production chain back to the West where the company is owned.
If the pollution in China was getting worse you can bet your ass they would be talking about “the CCP” and Xi Jinping personally, and the solution would be nothing short of the outright regime change.
