That headline from Zhang Musheng, one of China’s most influential intellectuals according to this article in the Sydney Morning Herald.
From the article:
A new study by the Netherlands Environment Assessment Agency shows China now emits far more greenhouse emissions than any other country, with emissions doubling between 2003 and 2010.
China’s carbon emissions rose 10 per cent last year alone, to 9 billion tonnes, compared with 5.2 billion tonnes for the United States.
The report showed India’s emissions also rose rapidly, by 9 per cent, although its total emissions are still only one-fifth of China’s.
The most startling finding, however, is that China’s per capita emissions are now higher than several rich nations including France and Italy. China’s per capita emissions could even overtake the US within six years, the study said.

UK Telegraph journalist James Delingpole noted a similar case about a year ago (11 Aug 2010):
What the Chinese really think of ‘Man Made Global Warming’
“Behind the back of the demonizing of “carbon”, we must recognize that it is the sinister intention of the Developed Countries to attempt to use “carbon” to block the living space of the Developing Countries”

The conspiracy is coming from one of China’s guests—Mr Strong
Not the nicest people in the world (speaking of PLAN not Chinese in general) but they don’t suffer fools lightly.
excellent, that quote will be in GGG Digest #378.

Just The Facts says:
The problem is that the Chinese are lacking luminaries like Assemblyman Fred Thiele, i.e.:
“Climate change refers to the issue that the Earth is getting warmer in some areas, but cooler in others.”
“Hand-in-hand with climate change is the problem of global warming.”
“And while the Earth’s overall temperature is increasing, climate change explains the drastic cold periods that some parts of the Earth have and will experience.”
“Climate change and global warming are very real and advancing problems that need to be addressed. While a misinformation campaign financed by powerful special interests has tried to cast doubt on the science behind these environmental threats, it’s important to note that 97 percent to 98 percent of researchers in the field agree that global warming is man-made, according to the National Academy of Sciences.”

So now global warming and climate change are different, but both “very real and advancing problems”. No wonder that the Chinese are in ascent while the US is in decline…
So far China backs a gold backed currency for trade,,,lectures us about responsible use of credit,,,and says global warming is a western NWO scam.
Hell,, i didn’t even realize i was a Red Chinese!
Once they figure that out, they'll be on the bandwagon big-time.
It’s nice to hear how the Chinese are helping contribute to slightly increased amount of CO2. If the cooling oceans do not suck it all up perhaps it could help a bit to increase crop output.
Hell,, i didn’t even realize i was a Red Chinese!
OMG! Me too! Now I'll have to switch sides, even though I know AGW/CCC is BS?
Horrors! The only choices in this dilemma are to be Red Chinese, or American Liberal; what is an honest Conservative to do?
I never thought i’d see the day that red china was a little to the right of any likely republican nominee.
Many FReepers will be outraged that China surpasses us once again and will demand that Congress order Beijing to lower its emissions.
Global Warming on Free Republic
Greens gored by reds.
Kinda goes together, doesn't it? Don't you have to be "nice" to suffer fools? (I realize they go somewhat beyond "not nice")
