Last year, China generated 834 terawatt-hours of solar power.

Which is more than the G7 countries generated, and more than the US and EU combined. In fact the only country group that generates more solar power than China is the OECD, all 38 countries of it.

I think you call it eminent domain in the US. But I think it can still be challenged in court, but wait a couple months.

Yes, the US is becoming China. You put a guy into power that admires Xi Jinping for the same reason China made Xi President for life: wanted a strongman to run the economy and protect you from evil foreigners. And now you're getting corporate socialism, just like China has.

Last I checked, the "Communist" Party of China has more than 80 billionaires with a combined wealth of over $600 Billion.

This doesn't fit the Tankie narrative of China being a socialist paradise so just go on pretending China isn't run by fascist billionaires just because they have a red flag with some yellow symbols on it. Fascists have never called themselves "socialists" to sucker the left into supporting them before, right?
