Talk:Xie Zhenhua (politician)

Eurocentric bias apparent again in wikipedia

I added a link from Global Times detailing how he is a special envoy on climate change. Get this, a state media from China about a Chinese politician...viewed as UNRELIABLE. Well done wikipedia...

Same Xie?

Is this the same person who was the chair of the 2009 Copenhagen climate talks? Badagnani (talk) 09:02, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

  China's top climate negotiator, Xie Zhenhua, said this week that his government would continue to support a second period of the Kyoto Protocol and its principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. These would require developed nations to take on binding emission cuts while allowing poorer countries to undertake voluntary cuts "appropriate to their stage of development".

China Pushes Clean-Energy Agenda Ahead of Summit November 22, 2011, 6:33 A.M. ET. by Zhoudong Shangguan, excerpt ..

Xie Zhenhua, China's top climate change official, acknowledged at a news conference Tuesday that the global economic crisis will hinder the effort. But he said those difficulties are only "temporary." "Combating climate change is a long-term effort," he said, urging developed countries to make progress on the financing for the climate change fund for developing countries.

Mr. Xie reiterated China's position in climate change negotiations, saying China will stick to the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities," which requires developed countries to take the lead in reducing emissions and provide financial support and transfer technologies to developing countries. At the same time, he acknowledged China's role as the world No. 1 emitter of carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas. "China's current emissions of greenhouse gases are very large, and the growth is very fast," he said. "This is a fact." Still, he said China plans to curb growth by increasing the share of nonfossil energy in total energy consumption to 11.4% by the end of 2015 and 15% by 2020, from 8.3% at end of 2010, Mr. Xie said, referring to plans to expand nuclear power, wind, hydropower and solar power.

" A number of U.S. companies have asked for antidumping probes against Chinese solar power products. China has insisted that its policies on solar energy conform with World Trade Organization rules."

Quote uncited?

Looks like that quote about Xie asking what right developed countries have to lecture undeveloped countries has no quote attached. Perhaps I missed it, otherwise it needs an attached source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:445:447F:3580:0:0:0:966E (talk) 08:12, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
