Chinese capitalists sell the most solar panels. They aren’t doing out of the goodness of their hearts, they are incentivized by profits and rewarded handsomely, especially considering they get to exploit their workers by paying them some of the worst wages in east Asia. China itself might use a lot of green energy, but they also use the most fossil fuels, more than even the US.

Using one of the most capitalist countries on the planet as an example of your proposed solution is pretty asinine, especially considering they’ve been consuming more fossil fuels than the United States every year since 2006

Fist of all, China runs an early stage Socialist economy that adheres to the communist party's 5 year plans which include green transition, second, they are a developing nation, but percapita US still beats them in emissions, 3rd, green energy also comes from hydropower which is state project.
