Here is an article on the stance of China when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions.

Excerpt:

"China and the U.S. are jointly responsible for more than 40 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. China’s emissions are outpacing that of the U.S., but Beijing argues that a large chunk of this is caused by export- driven manufacturing and has suggested that purchasing countries should be responsible for tackling those emissions."

It seems to me that the simplest way for the purchasing countries to "tackle those emissions" is to put a carbon tax on all imports from China. Is this really what the Chinese government wants?

From this article.

"China's latest suggestion would see its own huge export sector be exempted from any new treaty.

Beijing argues that rich nations buying Chinese goods bear responsibility for the estimated 15-25% of China's carbon emissions that are created by its production of exports."

To this I say... why not? Let the countries importing Chinese goods pay for Chinese C02 emissions.

And I suggest getting the money for that by leveling tariffs on Chinese goods. It's only fair.
