Really interesting discussion of China's green/sustainable financing mechanisms (especially relative to the IRA In the US). Favorable financing for things you want, unfavorable for the things you don't. Financially it's a lot like a tax, but it's implemented by a different institution and paid far away from consumers. You can see how it might be politically different from a tax.
