China is to cut CO2 emission

First reported by Yomiuri Newspaper, In preparing Wen Jiabao's visit to Tokyo next week, officials from China and Japan are working on a agreement regarding China's duty implementing Kyoto Treaty. As a significant gesture to show its efforts, China announces to cut CO2 emission.

Certainly China is throwing a good will to Japan, which bears the name of the landmark treaty with aims of cutting CO2 emissions among all countries. However, China, just like the U.S., never agrees to take actions, citing reasons as being a developing country and the responsibility of the current situation is caused by the western industrial countries.

Today's announcement is a step forward, however, weather China will put its words into action is a different issue left for another day.
