    its obviously good for the rest of the world to industrialize, but they would just be moving carbon emissions from china to themselves.

    they themselves would need to transition to renewables if we want this move to be good for the climate.

      That would be the point of making panels and wind turbines themselves.

      Ideally you’d want enough manufacturing capacity to power your whole country with renewables, in the time it takes for the first bits to start needing replacements.
