Drawing on Ashwin's essay \u201cChina\u2019s Green Development is Both Anti-Imperialist and Socialist,\u201d the conversation explores how China became the global leader in solar, wind, and electric vehicles through long-term planning, industrial policy, state capacity, and the disciplining of capital to broader social goals. Together, they examine the relationship between green development, national sovereignty, and anti-imperialism, asking why China has been able to carry out a large-scale green industrial transition while Western capitalist states have largely failed. The discussion also takes up the deeper theoretical question at the heart of the essay: whether China\u2019s model is best understood not as \u201cstate capitalism,\u201d but as a socialist market economy in which capital is subordinated to national development, ecological sustainability, and public need.
