Why Climate Agenda Puts America in Chinese Handcuffs'
China is intentionally\xa0advancing a climate agenda for its own gain, and America is allowing it to happen, according to a senior research fellow for international affairs at The Heritage Foundation\u2019s Asian Studies Center.\nChina has \u201ctaken advantage of the United States, because we\u2019ve had this very driven\xa0climate agenda,\u201d Heritage\u2019s Erin Walsh says.\xa0(Heritage founded The Daily Signal in 2014.)\nThe development of solar energy, for example, began in America, and then the Chinese developed it further, and now China controls the \u201centire supply chain, so you can\u2019t be involved unless you\u2019re purchasing some goods from China to make your\xa0solar panels,\u201d Walsh explained, adding that the same is true for wind turbines, and for batteries and electric vehicles. Right now with respect to EV\xa0batteries, "they\u2019ve got the dominant control of the supply chain.\u201d\nThe more the U.S. and other nations move toward use of wind and solar energy, and electric vehicles, the further China\u2019s economy benefits and America\u2019s economy and national security are put at risk,\xa0according to Walsh.\nWalsh joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to discuss her work on Heritage\u2019s new project, \u201cChinese Handcuffs: How China Exploits America\u2019s Climate Agenda.\u201d\xa0\nEnjoy the show!\n Hosted on Acast.
