Guest essay by Eric Worrall
According to Michael Bloomberg, President Xi Jinping is not a dictator because he listens to the people’s demand for climate action.
MARGARET HOOVER: The United States currently accounts for 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. China accounts for 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. How do we, even if we get to zero, how do you get India, China, and the other countries to be good partners.

MICHAEL BLOOMBERG: China is doing a lot. Yes, they’re still building a bunch of coal-fired power plants
HOOVER: And they’re still burning coal.
BLOOMBERG: Yes they are. But, they are now moving plants away from the cities. The Communist Party wants to stay in power in China and they listen to the public. When the public says ‘I can’t breathe the air,’ Xi Jinping is not a dictator. He has to satisfy his constituents, or he’s not going to survive.
HOOVER: He’s not a dictator?
BLOOMBERG: No, he has a constituency to answer to.
HOOVER: He doesn’t have a vote, he doesn’t have a democracy. He’s not held accountable by voters. Is the check on him just a revolution?
BLOOMBERG: You’re not going to have a revolution. No government survives without the will of the majority of its people. He has to deliver services. The Chinese Communist Party looks at Russia and they look for where the communist party is and they don’t find it anymore and they don’t want that to happen.
Below is a video of Bloomberg explaining why President Xi Jinping is not a dictator;
Who needs an election to tell you what the people want, when it is so obvious the people demand climate action?
Back in 2017 President Xi Jinping presided over the kind of policy disaster which would get a Western politician ejected from office, as ambitious local executive committees raced to meet Jinping’s Communist quotas for converting cities to gas, without anyone pausing to ensure sufficient gas supplies were available.
This left millions of Chinese people to suffer a harsh Northern Chinese winter without home heating.
Some of the local Communist officials involved in the conversions knew there were problems, but they had no choice but to follow the direction of their President.
Chinese officials point fingers as gasification crisis worsens
…
In China, policy targets are trickled down to the village official level with the objectives generally understood to be the minimum to be achieved.
“If we did not meet the target, we will get bad performance reviews and we will start worrying about our careers,” the inspector said. She declined to specify the targets.

In 2018, in the wake of this disaster, the Chinese Communist Party accepted Xi Jinping’s request to abolish term limits on his presidency, to allow Xi Jinping to remain President for as long as he wants the job.

What will stop the drones ? EMP ?
Bloomberg did a typical dishonest dodge…when he mentioned China is moving Coal Plants away from city centers to improve urban air quality. That’s got nothing at all to do with CO2 emissions and that was the topic. And the infobabe (yes, that was a sexist derogatory term since she isn’t doing her damn job) let it pass…or she was too stupid to call him on it.
We need to get outa China. They need us but we don’t need them. They cheat and steal. China will never be an honest trading partner so the sooner we disengage with them the better.
AND ALL THE FRICKEN domestic GLOBALIST ENEMIES OF AMERICA like Bloomberg are invested up to their eyeballs with the ChiCommies.
Any American Companies that move INTO CHINA from now on should be boycotted into nonexistence. Nixon’s experiment is over and it has failed.
We should not even TRY to COEXIST with the current Chinese regime…or the current American Democrat Socialist Party regime. Americans have nothing in common with either group when it comes to fundamental principals.

I agree Doc…at least until the fascist dictator Xi is driven from power, and China becomes a responsible global citizen and plays by a standard set of rules that most everyone else follows. This is what President Trump has made this trade war all about. The only way to get China’s ear is to get ahold of their wallet, at least with regards to trade with the USA. The only other thing that China understands is a boot on their neck, but let’s hope it doesn’t come to that any time soon, although I fear that is the only thing that Emperor Xi will understand.
“Bloomberg did a typical dishonest dodge…when he mentioned China is moving Coal Plants away from city centers to improve urban air quality. That’s got nothing at all to do with CO2 emissions and that was the topic.”
Actually, the coal-to-gas conversion in Inner Mongolia creates considerably MORE CO2 than simply burning the coal would.
Funny no-one mentions Falun Gong and Bannon.
Only a matter of time I suppose at WUWT.
London is not getting Hong Kong back.
Look, a squirrel…
“Funny no-one mentions Falun Gong and Bannon.”
I mentioned Falun Gong upthread, though not by name, at https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/09/28/michael-bloomberg-chinese-president-is-not-a-dictator-because-of-climate-change/#comment-2808526
Why does anyone think London wants Hong Kong back.
It really is fascinating how every evil in the world is somehow being run by the Anglosphere.
Collusion
Liberal media is synonymous.
Is this guy on drugs? Or has early senility set in? I can’t believe anyone with the remotest semblance of intelligence would spout such an ignorant statement.
He is a billionaire.
He wants to make billions more in China.
He is smart.
Nobody who wants to get into the China market can tell the truth about the Chinese govt.
By their actions, it is evident that the Chinese do not really believe that CO2 causes adverse climate change. They are trying to gain an economic advantage any way that they can.
dictatorship in China: I don’t know. China is the Government Type X . They do not have “paper money” on mainland China. People get paid in “credits”. Credits are exchanged for goods and services. So far so good, right? The Government decides what a person’s worth will be, therefore the “party leaders” are worth the most. If a person go against the “Party Line” credits are taken away to a point of house arrest or “reeducation camps”.
They do have private companies and small businesses but again they are subject to the credit system.
What China’s style government X model has created is an “Ant Colony”. Progress socialist love it. I give it 75 to 100 years before there is a civil war in China.
Of course he’s not just as much as Stalin, Hitler and Mao they were all greatly misunderstood.
James Bull
Oh yeah sarc
The money and businesses that globalists like Bloomberg have dropped in China’s lap are now being used to fund the Green Blob and the Progressive politicians who kowtow to them. I imagine he has great respect for a system where the ruling elite can do whatever it likes and the plebes do as they are told.
Remember, the Progressive cult was quite enamored of Hitler and Mussolini until that little fracas with Stalin came about. Now the Nazis are reviled as murderers while the Communist dictators, who killed at least TEN TIMES as many of their own citizens, are glorified. Why would Xi deserve any less?
The whole Gorebull Warming hoax is nothing but bald faced attempt to take the whole world economy and put it under the control of an enlightened Progressive elite! What could go wrong with that? I mean look how well they have handled the Aral Sea and Chernobyl!! We peons should be thankful that Great Ones like the Bloomberg deign to trouble themselves with our existence and betterment. We can tell how much they care for us by looking at our most excellent public school system!/snarc

Christians are persecuted. Even ‘The Guardian’ recognises it:

In China, parents are not allowed to take their children to church.

But Buffoonberg presumably thinks the Chinese Communist Government does this to maintain public support.
Just like the one/two-child policy which led to forced abortions.

Read about Mao’s China. This sort of top down system was has been in force since 1950.
It was the direct cause of the Great Famine.
China was run by top down totalitarianism from 221 BC onwards – emperors.
Note: our label China comes from the Sanskrit word Cīna.
Mao Great Leap Forward = AOC The New Green Deal
Then came the Cultural Revolution using mostly brainwashed 16 year old children.
There’s trash in the river Yangtze
It’s making its way to the Sea
For the Chinese pollute
and they don’t give a hoot
One wonder, how bad can it be?
Chairman Xi cares about climate change or the people?

Bloomberg shows himself to be a naive and stupid amateur.
I wonder what kind of deals he’s been doing with China… by any chance, did they help him make his billions? No rational person would voluntarily shill for a dictator like Xi, who is answerable to no one, otherwise.
