I think phrases like 'love China' set this up as an emotional argument when it isn't one.

I have no idea what China or Chinese leaders are like. I have no relation to China.

However, I can say that their policy choices on these technical issues are better than ours. The only emotion I feel when saying this is disappointment in my own country, rather than pride in China. I wish America had more energy production. Almost all American problems are the result of lacking energy production capacity.
