    It’s worth noting that this is not being done for environmental reasons (more half of all coal pollution comes from China), but for strategic reasons as China has limited access to oil near it’s borders.

      I mean, that’s a pretty good reason. I’m not too concerned why they do a good thing, as long as it’s done.

          You might get up votes if you accompanied a controversial opinion with a reasoned argument. However, making only broad, unsubstantiated statements is a waste of bandwidth and everyone’s time.

            You might get up votes if you accompanied a controversial opinion with a reasoned argument.

            Ultimately I agree that they should include the argument, but adding a reasoned argument has very little affect on the use of the vote buttons as “agree/disagree.”
