Greta Thunberg has made an enemy out of China which says she is uneducated and prone to being тАЬmanipulatedтАЭ after the activist said climate change canтАЩt be solved unless Beijing makes a drastic course correction on emissions.
тАЬThunberg, who at age 15 started skipping school on Fridays for her climate protests, is merely 18 years old this year,тАЭ Chinese propaganda mouthpiece the Global Times said.
тАЬShe is short of sufficient academic knowledge study, and lack of sound self-judgment capability.
тАЬGirl like her is prone to be affected or even manipulated by some political forces.тАЭ
Ms ThunbergтАЩs tweet which argued China has тАЬno excuseтАЭ for its titanic emissions levels тАЬruining future and present living conditionsтАЭ even if it is still classed as a тАЬdeveloping nationтАЭ served as the trigger for BeijingтАЩs ire.
тАЬYes, China is still categorised as a developing nation by WTO, they manufacture a lot of our products and so on,тАЭ she said in the tweet.
тАЬBut that’s of course no excuse for ruining future and present living conditions.
тАЬWe can’t solve the climate crisis unless China drastically changes course.тАЭ
Her tweet came after a new report from the Rhodium Group found ChinaтАЩs annual emissions in 2019 eclipsed all developing countries combined тАУ for the first time since measuring began.
