Chen Bing: Biden's "throwing the pot" did not succeed in being hit by the pot

Straight News: Xi Jinping delivered a written speech to the 26th Summit of the World Leaders of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, calling on all parties to strengthen their actions and put forward three suggestions on addressing the challenges of climate change.

Special Commentator Chen Bing: President Xi Jinping's three-point proposal on addressing climate change can be said to hit the crux of the problem, with special emphasis on "governing with reality" and sending the true scriptures to the somewhat vain climate conference. His first suggestion is to uphold multilateral consensus, believing that multilateralism is the recipe for addressing global challenges such as climate change. Multilateralism here is global cooperation and synergy to enhance mutual trust, not cliques and small circles in some countries.

The second recommendation is to focus on pragmatic action, emphasizing that only action can turn a vision into reality. There are two meanings here, one is to criticize the phenomenon of not practicing to deal with climate change, many countries, especially developed countries, have a high level of discipline, pay very little money, and move slowly; the other is to require developed countries not only to do more themselves, but also to better support developing countries. If we look at the history of carbon emissions, developed countries have emitted a lot of carbon dioxide, it can be said that the current climate change is a problem accumulated in their development process, and they should be responsible.

The third recommendation is to accelerate the green transition. It is necessary to promote green energy through scientific and technological innovation, but also to promote the green development of economy and society, to make development and protection synergistic, and to resolutely curb projects with high energy consumption and high emissions. This is actually a summary of China's experience, And China's action plan on carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, with a clear timetable, road map, and construction drawings, is much more credible than many countries giving a general point in time.

Straight News: What do you think of US President Joe Biden's criticism of China, Russia and Saudi Arabia "not doing enough" before the climate conference?

Special commentator Chen Bing: This is Biden's latest "throwing pot" method, which is not interesting to ask for itself. At this climate conference, Biden sees the United States as a "show" for the return of the United States to the world, claiming that world leaders trust him, but the leaders of China, Russia and Turkey have not arrived in Glasgow, which makes Biden feel lose face. In addition, he is trying to persuade Democratic lawmakers to pass his 1.785 trillion social and environmental bill, which has projects to combat climate change, but his party has not yet reached a consensus, and the vote on the bill has been postponed, which makes Biden look good, lose it, and say how the United States can do it, in fact, it is a blank cheque. What he calls the U.S. plan to fund renewables by $900 billion and effective and meaningful action on climate change is just a declaration. Only the United States' re-entry into the Paris Agreement to combat climate change is a real step.

So how does Biden save his face? One is to "throw the pot" at China and Russia, accusing China and Russia and Saudi Arabia of not doing enough to deal with climate change, such a bluff shows that the United States can still do it; the second is to fire at Trump and show its wisdom by apologizing for Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. "We will show the world that the United States is not only back at the negotiating table, but also wants to lead by our example," he said. "Look, that's it, the United States wants to be the world leader again. However, the Western media has seen the truth of Biden, saying that Biden has committed a lot on climate change, but the key will depend on U.S. lawmakers and American voters, and the two communities now have huge differences and disagree with Biden on climate issues. The Fed even punched the face directly, saying that it is "not our responsibility" to promote a green economy, or let other central banks take the lead. Where does Biden's promise to commit "the whole government" to an ambitious climate agenda, but the Fed first vetoes it, where does the president's credibility come from? He wanted to "throw the pot", and as a result, the "pot" was reversed and hit himself before the climate conference was over, which was really fun.
