Oh so I don‘t have to worry about China‘s increasing emissions output because they use unhinged mass surveillance and terror against the people to put a band-aid on it. Cool…
Doesn’t China emit like half the amount of carbon per capita compared to the US?
China has a very large capita.
Yes, and they are by far the best in green energy

It’s a typical Chinophobe ‘at what cost’ commenter.
There is literally nothing they can do right.
I would be happy for sensors at traffic lights that detect whether cars are there or not. I don’t consider that to be meaningful surveillance.
But they already have sensors. That‘s not what China differentiates from the rest here.
Did you read the article? Standard traffic cameras or sensors are all you need to implement this. And yes, most places have the technology already in place to do most of it. You just need to add the part to network them and control the lights.
Of course there has to be a sore loser China bad commenter with some made up BS
I am used to tankies on Lemmy but man, if you say China isn‘t an Orwellian surveillance state you‘re just lying through your teeth.
