Climate change poses a catastrophic threat to the future of humanity. The capitalist class has proven itself utterly incapable of tackling this problem.
Context matters. The US isn’t trying to greenwash anything right now. It’s external image has completely collapsed. Meanwhile, China is working really hard on it’s external image.
I agree though that the US is one of the most internally propagandized country. Chinese propaganda also operates differently. In China, propaganda comes from the state and corporations are extensions of the government. In the US, media is controlled by corporations and the government is an extension of the corporations.
But the context was on clean energy, and Chinese greenwashing propaganda is ahead of the US.
Er, I am not American. But as far as greenwashing is concerned, my nation is using American greenwashing rhetoric for plastic recycling, subsidizing American electric cars because they’re good for the environment while cutting funding for public transit, letting American companies advertise their greenwashing initiatives on television and billboards, etc. Chinese corporations keep quiet and there’s propaganda associating them with environmental harm through fast fashion and products that are quick to fall apart or made of poison.
American greenwashing is endemic, treated as inevitable and as the best option possible. China has the benefit of being the alternative to that dominant lie, but it’s still merely “the alternative”.
