The landscape of emissions continues to change. China’s total CO2 emissions exceeded those of the advanced economies combined in 2020, and in 2023 were 15% higher. India surpassed the European Union to become the third largest source of global emissions in 2023. Countries in developing Asia now account for around half of global emissions, up from around two-fifths in 2015 and around one‑quarter in 2000. China alone accounts for 35% of global CO2 emissions.
Advanced economies continue to have relatively high per capita emissions, at about 70% higher than the global average in 2023. India’s per capita emissions remain less than half of the global average, at around 2 tonnes. Per capita emissions in the European Union have fallen strongly and are now only around 15% higher than the global average and around 40% below those of China. China’s per capita emissions exceeded those of the advanced economies as a group in 2020 and are now 15% higher; 2023 represented the first time that they surpassed those of Japan, although they remain one-third lower than those of the United States.

China accounted for 95% of the world’s new coal power construction activity in 2023, according to the latest annual report from Global Energy Monitor (GEM).
Construction began on 70 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity in China, up four-fold since 2019, says GEM’s annual report on the global coal power industry.
This compares with less than 4GW of new coal power construction starting in the rest of the world – the lowest since 2014.
Outside China, only 32 countries have new coal projects at pre-construction phases of development and just seven have plants under construction.

So the whole story line is: A CIA agent became Mexican president, and promoted Coca-Cola salesman became another Mexican preisent, and used Coca to make Mexican addcitive to become fat, and the final aim was to destroy Mexico's water resouces?
If so, plz try to fight with it, at least make those water to build a hydro dam and generate some electiricity not the fat on human's body.

5. Industry spend of approx $1 billion on water and wastewater systems and services
Each semiconductor Fab can cost up to US$2.5 billion, a large proportion of this capital expenditure is on water related systems. A UPW system can cost between 1-1.5% of total capital costs around US$25-40 million. The semiconductor industry spends approximately $1 billion on water and wastewater systems and services every year2 Through reduction, reuse and recycling water at semiconductor plants, the industry could save over $100 million per year. 7Effective recycling systems offer a great return on investment: a recent study showed a return on capital investment of five to seven months8.In addition to recycling, the industry is taking steps to significantly lower the use of UPW through process optimisation. One example is the replacement of wet stations by Automated Wet Benches (AWB) for many wet etching processing steps, resulting in water use reductions of approximately 40%9.
6. Dirty industry? – Over 10,000 recorded environmental violations in China
Despite the millions spent on trying to clean up its act, the semiconductor industry in China is suspected of being involved in a large number of environmental violations. The production of semiconductors also utilises a number of chemicals. Because of this, wastewater from Fabs has been found to contain a range of harmful contaminants including arsenic, antimony, hydrogen peroxide, and hydrofluoric acid.A search of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) water pollution database reveals over 10,000 environmental violations for key semiconductor companies, over the period 2004-2013. The IPE database draws on government data.
Historically, semiconductor companies in the US have been subject to litigation linked to groundwater. With the current levels of groundwater pollution in China and ongoing investigations by the MEP, how long will it be before semiconductor companies start finding themselves named and shamed on the MEP’s blacklist? For more on China’s groundwater pollution problems, see here and for more on the MEP’s blacklist of companies, see here.
7. Industry accused of poor disclosure of its risk profile to investors
The semiconductor industry has reportedly been doing a poor job of disclosing water risk to investors.5 The reliability of water supply during the manufacturing process is a major aspect of the industry’s risk profile. The manufacturing cycle for a microprocessor can be between 11-13 weeks, and any forced shutdown during that period will result in all material being lost, effectively wiping out that quarter’s output for the facility. This is particularly worrying considering the location of some of the industry’s major manufacturing sites in water scarce areas.

Enormous quantities of ultrapure water are needed in semiconductor production. A semiconductor plant (known as a fab) typically requires about five million gallons per day, and ten million for large foundries, equivalent to the consumption rate of 300,000 households. In comparison, an Olympic-size swimming pool contains 660,000 gallons. Large quantities of ultra-pure water must be processed so that all impurities are removed before it is used to rinse each chip and remove any contaminating debris. Semiconductor production also requires large amounts of energy, mostly fossil fuels
Many of the Chinese cities that are investing in new semiconductor plants such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen, and Shanghai face water constraints. Jiangsu Province, the heart of China’s semiconductor industry, is considered to be one of the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which will make water availability even less predictable. They are already drawing heavily on dwindling groundwater, which agriculture, the primary water user in China, also requires. Despite a policy effort to improve water quality in China, especially of surface water, pollution of groundwater remains a serious problem. In 2022, the percentage of groundwater unsuitable for industrial use increased from 20.6% to 22.4%, according to China Water Risk, a Hong Kong-based non-profit.12

Or is it industrial pollution?
Beyond Pesticides, November 16, 2023) A study published in the Journal of Endocrinological Investigation finds exposure to the insecticide chlorpyrifos and other organophosphates (OPs) has a positive association with the development of erectile dysfunction (ED). Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is the difficulty of getting or keeping an erection. Despite occurring in males later in life (between 40 and 70 years), recent studies highlight this issue emerging among adolescents, highlighting possible hormone imbalances not associated with age. Scientists and health officials already associate pesticide exposure with a decrease in male fertility, including reduced sperm count, quality, and abnormal sperm development. Exposure to many pesticides also profoundly impacts the endocrine (hormone) system, including reproductive health.

The farse China is clean is easy to see by the coal used to generate electricity, semiconductors do pollute water and same mining, that is hidden, disposal of solar panels also generates toxic chemicals, you hide that and you really do not even mention it in your Banzai China uber alles propaganda.
If you want to know who are really ecological?
see these people, most of what you say is propaganda
That is the real result of your exports and shaddy products you sell and same will be your solar panels
