China Transparency Pledge Moves Copenhagen Talks Forward
China advanced hope for a global climate accord Thursday, saying it
would enhance the information it makes available to other countries
about its carbon emissions and submit that reporting to some form of
international review.
This opens the door to a potential agreement

that ensures transparency in a way that is not intrusive and respects
China's sovereignty. It is a welcome sign of how serious the Chinese
are about taking action against climate change.
The announcement was made by He Yafei, China's vice
minister for foreign affairs, at a press conference at the UN climate
summit. He said China would enhance and improve national
communication to improve transparency, and that it would consider
international exchange, dialogue and cooperation on these issues.
Transparency has been a sticking point between U.S.
negotiators and the Chinese. The apparent opening came hours after
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the United States would
participate in a global climate fund to reach $100 billion a year by
2020. (See transcript here
<http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2009a/12/133734.htm> .) The money
would be used to help low income countries cope with the ills of
climate change.
Neither Secretary Clinton nor Vice Minister He drew a
direct link between the moves. Both announcements, though, reflected
forward motion by the two countries. Together, China and the United
States account for about 40 percent of the world’s carbon emissions.
For that reason, the two countries are regarded as essential to
getting a global climate change accord.
President Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao agreed to
forge a strategic partnership around climate and energy issues when
they met last month in Beijing.
China's willingness to engage in a constructive way on the
issue of international reporting and review reflects the spirit of the
new partnership. We look forward to continued progress on this front.
-------------------------
My reading about the situation is slightly different. I think China's
move is more of a public relation type. But Americans are trying to
spin in their favor, as well as putting more pressure on China.
