WHERE in Europe are the protests about China and India building more and more coal power plants ... and using more and more coal? Europe is silent as a church mouse. WHERE in Europe are the protests about a million +- Chinese Uyghur's locked up in Concentration Camps? Europe is silent as a church mouse. WHERE in Europe are the protests about China using Prison Labor to manufacture stuff? Europe is silent as a church mouse.

Original Message
China has recently faced widespread power cuts and disrupted supply chains
Disruption is due to strict emissions targets and record fossil fuel prices
In response, China boosted its daily coal production - as leaders meet for Cop26
Now, China's average daily coal production has risen to above 11.5 million tonnes since mid-October - 1.1 million tonnes more than at the end of September
China has also resorted to importing coal from North Korea, according to reports
China has increased its daily coal production by over one million tonnes per day, easing its energy shortage as world leaders gather in Britain for climate talks billed as one of the last chances to avert catastrophic global warming.
But in a blow to the Cop26 summit, China's president Xi Jinping will not even give a 'virtual' speech in Glasgow, instead only submitting a written statement.
The world's biggest coal importer has battled widespread power cuts in recent months - particularly in its industrialised northeast - that have disrupted supply chains, due to strict emissions targets and record prices for the fossil fuel.
