I wonder what the new talking point going to be after this news? Something something developing country, coal power plants?&lt;p&gt;This seems like pretty good news in general though, combined with other smaller bans (like the UK+France ban on Diesel cars). But I&amp;#x27;m not sure how I feel about China itself leading this green push.</text></comment>

But this being china they can literally get anything running in a very short time. While this is all good, what would happen to car manufacturers, countries import and export in terms of Crude oil. What kind of impact will this bring on China&amp;#x27;s economy?</text></comment>
