Global warming, fossil fuels with an expiration date, oceans turning acidic threatening life as we know it, polluted air and water, and the U.S. slogs along burdened with rules, regulations and red tape when it comes to the environment and green energy, which is necessary if we want our civilization to survive.
In China, that challenge doesn’t exist and Western countries and the World Trade Organization burdened with bureaucratic red tape are complaining.
The New York Times with Reuters writes a piece about Global Business and headlines it On Clean Energy, China Skirts Rules.
Who cares? If China is getting the job done and that leads to cleaner air, water and energy, I say go for it.
In fact, the U.S. and other countries should look to China as a role model in this area.
However, considering partisan politics in the U.S. and the GOP of “NO”, America may have already lost the race.
What does that mean in a century or two?
The New York Times piece I’m talking about was written by Keith Bradsher, and it was educational.
By the time, I finished reading the long piece, I knew why the West isn’t weaning itself off oil any time soon, while China appears to be moving fast in that direction.
Why can’t the West play the game by China’s rules?
After all, according to Sun Tzu and the Art of War, which applies to business, you do what you must to win.
If Western countries are so rigid they can’t adapt, that means another expiration date.
