That wiki page is hilarious. The cite for the claim greyzone is misinformation is a paper that offhandedly and without evidence says that grey zone is misleading people.
Actually most of the cites are "people are saying’ levels of evidence. Wikipedia is a joke.
If you wanted to claim that greyzone was " sympathetic to authoritarian régimes" or “denied genocide” then you could just link directly to the greyzone to show what they’re doing, but instead they wiki authors have decided to cite articles the obliquely mention these claims. Its the equivalent of writing a ransom note with magazine clippings but with citations.
I suspect they avoid linking directly because GZ articles are usually well sourced and have nuances that don’t support the wiki author’s bs.
They literally have a graph showing their paris accord goal as of now, where they as of now, and a 1.5c goal. They and India are ahead.
Also
China’s emissions are nearing their peak, years ahead of when China’s government had pledged to reach that goal.
Every country has different pledge responsibilities it would be drastically unfair to ask more of developing countries to reduce at the same rate as non, especially taking into account the looting the west has done and the offshored emissions on their behalf.

New York times reported China is ahead of pledges
Once again they were given a choice between becoming a state or remaining a territory. Not for independence. It’d be like offering a scrap of bread to a starving man in exchange for the man legitimizing your ability to keep him malnourished.
The ole adage of "the only thing worse than being exploited is not being exploited " comes to mind.
Since you can’t be assed to read your own damn wiki article I assume you’re just in bad faith.
The choice was to become a state or remain a territory. Either yes or no would have had Hawaiian peoples occupied. Statehood could be seen as a regaining a scrap of self determination but all it ended up doing was impoverishing the natives and ceding all wealth to colonizing capitalists. This is a primarily function of bourgeois democracy.
I’ll also be ethnic cleansing some people on my side of our border…
