Source Title: United States publishes “China Environmental Destruction Fact List.”
At the regular Foreign Ministry press conference on September 28, a reporter asked: On the 25th, the US State Department website posted a so-called “Fact List on China’s Environmental Damage “. What is China’s comment on this? Spokesman Wang Wenbin said this is another anti-China farce organized by the United States for political purposes. The so-called fact list published by the United States is actually a list of lies, and lies can be broken in the face of concrete facts.
Next, Wang Wenbin listed a series of facts, emphasizing that China’s achievements in fighting climate change are obvious to all: At the end of 2019, China’s carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in 2015 were a 48.1% lower than in 2005, and the share of non-fossil energy reached 15.3%. The 2020 climate action target has been exceeded. Since 2000, China has accounted for a quarter of the world’s new green area. Today, China’s new energy vehicles account for more than half of the world’s total. In the general debate of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly on September 22, President Xi Jinping announced that China will increase the intensity of its nationally determined contributions, strive for peak carbon dioxide emissions. by 2030 and will strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
China has removed more than 280,000 tonnes of ozone-depleting substances, representing more than half of the total removed in developing countries. 74 cities in China have implemented ambient air quality standards and everyone can see if the sky is blue or not. China has already eliminated artisanal and small-scale gold mining production processes. By the end of this year, it will also phase out the production, import and export of major mercury-added products subject to the Mercury Convention.
China is one of the countries with the strictest legislation and enforcement on wildlife protection in the world. China has also made important contributions to the development of sustainable forest products and trade in increasing the world’s forest resources. Basically, China will achieve zero solid waste imports by the end of 2020, and the rate of harmless treatment of urban garbage across the country is close to 99%. All coastal cities have established garbage classification and marine sanitation mechanisms.
The background color of the “Belt and Road” building is originally green. We, together with relevant countries and international organizations, launched the “Belt and Road” International Green Development Alliance and issued the “Belt and Road” green investment principles. China’s marine debris is internationally low-medium level and in a relatively controllable state. China has also implemented the world’s strictest monitoring system for offshore fishing vessel positions, has zero tolerance for cracking down on illegal activities, and has actively worked with the international community to crack down on fishing activities. illegal, undeclared and unregulated. Cooperation on water resources in the Lancang-Mekong basin is flourishing. China announced that it will share the hydrological information of the Lancang River throughout the year with the Mekong countries. The six Lancang-Mekong countries will build an information exchange platform, strengthen joint research, and work together to meet the challenges.
“In the face of China’s series of tangible environmental protection measures, the United States constantly discredits and attacks China, but how is the United States doing it?” Wang Wenbin asked rhetorically: “We should ask the United States.” Why did the United States not ratify the “Kyoto Protocol” and want to withdraw from the “Paris Agreement”? When will the United States commit to carbon neutrality? The United States’ per capita emissions are three times the world average, more than twice that of China and once higher than that of China. Almost five times, cumulative emissions are roughly three times China’s. Should the United States give an explanation to people in developing countries who are severely negatively affected by climate change, especially people in small island countries? The United States owes a huge debt to the Global Environment Facility and its debt. When will the quotas of the conventions on desertification and climate change be returned? The United States exports a large amount of garbage to developing countries throughout the year. Should this be another argument? “
Wang Wenbin pointed out that these are all accounts that the United States owes to the international community. “Who acts, who speaks, who makes contributions, who alters the situation? The people of the world have an account.” Wang Wenbin emphasized that events have shown that the United States is the biggest destroyer of international environmental cooperation and that the United States is the global environment. The biggest threat. We urge the United States to stop political manipulation and malicious slander and do more for the global environment without causing trouble.
