I don’t think the killing them all part is necessarily a motivator. Perhaps more so that solar and wind have become price competitive, and that investing in renewables have the additional benefit of helping China lead in these crucial areas.

If something was too acidic I’d probably add a sprinkle of MSG, or Parmesan if you don’t have that.

I add sugar when I make pasta sauces all the time, also to stews and stir fries. It’s a nice dimension.
