Is it fair to treat China as a christmas tree to hang everybody's complaints? Putting its own energy saving into perspective

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2009

China had been the world's second largest carbon emitter for years. However, recent studies show that China had overtaken the US as the world's largest emitter in 2007. This has put China on the spotlight, just at a time when the world community starts negotiating a post-Kyoto climate regime...
