Empty high-speed trains, collapsing apartments and bridges, industrial
explosions, tsunamis of plastic waste, and a Shanghai inevitably
underwater—this is not the image the world’s newest superpower likes to
present for itself. But this is precisely the reality that Richard
Smith’s China’s Engine of Environmental Collapse unearths. In spite of
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s relentless brand imaging in recent
years of being the world’s progressive alternative to traditional
Western hegemony, Smith shows that the only alternative that China
offers is a distinctively bureaucratic and authoritarian kind of
capitalism—a model that rivals other Western capitalist regimes in
becoming the main driver of climate collapse.
