The country's planned investments in projects may lead to “permanent environmental degradation” by causing pollution, habitat loss, and wildlife mortality, among others, as per the Voices Against Autocracy report.

I will not even go into your claims of China being a first world country because...

Look, it is simple, China is not doing something short sighted, without industrialization there is no nation that can get green energy infrastructure, if the exploiters who raped third world exploited nations do not pay reparations, there is no other way to do this better. This is all the Empires's fault.

I see. As we know whose fault it is, the problem is solved, right?

When China's colonialization projects will have produced the same environmental and social desasters as all the others in human history, will they also have to "pay reparations"? And if so, with an earth then being widely unhabitable, what do we do with the money?
