China’s top climate change negotiator will be given a HK$20 million Hong Kong prize for his contributions to global civilisation.
Xie Zhenhua, China’s chief negotiator at the Paris Agreement, UN climate change conferences, and the former head of China’s State Environmental Protection Administration, will be presented one of the awards under the Lui Che Woo Prize for his efforts to tackle climate change.
“We honour his achievements in preventing climate change and thus ensuring a sustainable future not only in China but also globally”, said prize recommendation committee chairman Professor Lawrence Lau Juen-yee.
The prize, set up by property tycoon and casino owner Lui Chee-woo in 2015, honours individuals or organisations with outstanding achievements in three categories – sustainable development of the world, betterment of the welfare of mankind and promotion of positive life attitude each year.

it pays to lie i guess
Anyone see what the air quality in Beijing looked like yesterday? We don’t have anything in this country that comes anywhere close to how bad air pollution is in China. Watched Korean news reporting from Beijing yesterday and you couldn’t see anything behind him but smog.
The clearest day I've ever experienced in that part of the world is 5 times worse than the worst day I've ever experienced elsewhere.
IOW...in my experience it would take balls of brass for any Chinese official to be lecturing anyone,*particularly* the US,about air pollution.
So China believes in the world’s greatest governmental power grab hoax. Now there’s a surprise.
Enjoy your #FakeScience award, Ow Go!
They already had to pay nothing. Did he get them a rebate?
