Disingenuous. You cannot make this claim without tracking indirect Chinese investments. Looking strictly at corporate domicile is absolutely pointless in our globalized economy

Why only China, you'd have to do this for *all*, which would be impractical. 🤷

Jason Hickle singled out China, not me. But you are right, you have to look at all company investments and holdings globally. Follow the money and only then can you make any claims about which countries hold most responsibility. I do think it is a misguided metric.

To clarify, this represents share of responsibility of conflicts that are documented in the EJ Atlas, not of all conflicts that have existed or continue to exist.

Quantification defines human problems, but does not solve those problems. I've found the hard way. Last couple of decades. Humans decide based on beliefs. Not facts, nor figures. China may help much. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1470160X23013456
