Top Energy Stocks For 2023


To the Editor:
When reading about the opportunities and risks associated with investing in China, I can’t help thinking how the country is a minefield for environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, investors. (“How to Invest in China Now,” Cover Story, Aug. 27). On the environmental front, China has some of the most polluted cities in the world, despite its recent efforts to pivot to more-sustainable sources of energy. In terms of societal concerns, the country’s numerous human-rights violations are wide-ranging. Finally, corporate governance is virtually nonexistent. There is no transparency, public data is often fabricated, and with the Communist Party as the ultimate power, there is no reliable system of checks and balances. Those passionate about ESG issues would be well advised to get their emerging market exposure elsewhere.
