So you can say, "China doesn't care" all you want but their citizens are doing a way better job than we are. It's time to step up and quit making excuses for your own selfish reasons.

Half of all electric vehicles sold globally are sold in China. And before anyone remarks about the electricity supply, it's irrelevant. An EV made and driven on the dirtiest grid still has a lower lifecycle ghg footprint, plus the grid is rapidly decarbonizing.
No country spends more on nuclear, hydro, wind, or solar
