Useful Idiots in a Circular Firing Squad

As we react to Russia's increasingly bold campaign of sabotage in Western countries, let's ponder the brilliance of China's far more effective campaign that relies on Western stupidity that pretends to save the world.

The Chinese must wake up each morning and thank Mao for having enemies who are morons:

The UK is deindustrializing, and has tied itself to China in more ways than one due to its foolish NetZero energy policies. 

And not just Britain. Europe more generally. And too many parts of America, too.

The Chinese exploit fear of climate change and a desire to be the planet's savior to downgrade any energy source but solar and wind. With the plausible supporting argument of reducing reliance on Middle East fossil fuels.

This transition to "renewables" increases costs of electricity resulting from the glorious "transition" to a "renewable" future is crippling Britain's industry (and Europe's, more broadly). It reduces the resilience of the electrical grid. This also allows China to earn lots of money to produce the wind and solar equipment that fuels the "transition." And this changes Western energy reliance on Middle East fossil fuels to Chinese solar panels and windmills.

One must give the Chinese Communist Party a grudging salute for their brilliance.
