XI JINPIN: DESPITE WHAT OUR CRITICS SAY, CHINA IS SERIOUS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE
The Independent, April 12, 2010
China has worked actively and seriously to tackle global climate change and build capacity to respond to it. We believe every country has a stake in dealing with climate change and every country has a responsibility for the safety of our planet. We're at a critical stage of building a moderately prosperous society on all fronts, and a key stage of accelerated industrialisation and urbanisation.
Yet, despite the huge task of developing the economy and improving people's lives, we have joined global actions to tackle climate change with the utmost resolve and acted in line with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities established by the UN. China voluntarily stepped up efforts to eliminate backward capacity in 2007, and has since closed a large number of heavily polluting small coal-fired power plants, small coal mines and enterprises in the steel, cement, paper-making, chemical and printing and dyeing sectors. Moreover, in 2009, China played a positive role in the success of the Copenhagen conference on climate change and the ultimate conclusion of the Copenhagen Accord.
