So my water chemistry professor was lecturing us about climate change, and said
"By the way, China is set to reach its 2030 carbon reduction goals in around 4 years." Which is the first time I've heard a professor say anything about China that wasn't red scare paranoia.
A student said incredulously, "How?!?!"
The professor just shugged and said "I dunno, ask them."
I fought the urge to explain how.
Communist planning and a high value placed on educating people and the science sector babyyyyy.
