China puts 10 million tons of coal into circulation. Timmermans green plays with Europeans’ grapevines

On Thursday, the state planning agency, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said China will put more than 10 million tons of coal into circulation from its state reserves, with the potential for further injections. The increased input of highly polluting coal from China's state reserves this year aims to stabilize price increases in the wake of strong industrial activity, the SCMP reported, although the move is unlikely to lead to a significant increase in imports. analysts said.

Coal has been withdrawn from Chinese state reserves four times this year, totaling 5 million tons, although these figures are minimal compared to China's raw coal production which was estimated at 320 million tons in June. according to S&P. Platts global analysis. The enormous use of coal is one of the reasons why China counts 24 of the 25 most polluted cities in the world.

The purpose of these heavy injections is to stabilize the market in the face of price fluctuations due to increases in demand. Of course, this bad carbon will eventually convert into carbon dioxide, but if channeled into pollutants such as sulfur dioxide. China is the largest CO2 emitter in the world

Despite all this, Timmermans and the Commission are trying to impose draconian laws, on the skin of European citizens, on the "climate transition", pretending that the EU still counts for something industrially and that all this is relevant globally. The truth is that it has no influence on the climate, but devastating on the lives of citizens. But what does Timmermans care about?
