China’s Green Agenda Is About Making the Planet See Red

In a jaw-dropping interview that Jimmy Quinn with the National Review revealed, U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher praised Beijing’s role in the global climate agenda:

Seeing how Beijing’s air quality has improved in recent decades has inspired Fletcher to “think about how we can make the humanitarian movement more green, how can we look to China for leadership about how we bring more renewable energy, solar panels, wind power, in the humanitarian supply chains.”

It’s an astonishing admission: a top U.N. official openly calling on the world to look to China as a leader in the world’s green transition not because of democratic values or innovation, but because of their top-down, government-controlled grip on the solar supply chain.

This is how China operates: co-opting international institutions to advance its strategic and economic interests. From the World Health Organization to now the United Nations’ humanitarian arm, Beijing leverages its funding, influence, and propaganda to bend global narratives in its favor. Every glossy U.N. climate report or “green” partnership promoted out of Beijing should be viewed through that lens: not as global consensus, but as Beijing’s foreign policy.

Power The Future has been warning for years that the global environmental movement has been co-opted by the Chinese Communist Party. Our 2023 report, Where Green Meets Red, laid it out plainly: the more the U.S. embraces forced electrification and green mandates, the more we hand leverage to Beijing.

From solar panels to critical minerals, EVs to battery storage, China dominates every layer of the supply chain. And increasingly, with allies inside global institutions like the U.N., they’re legitimizing their control and exporting dependence under the banner of climate virtue.

It’s not leadership. It’s about control. And America needs to wake up.
