It's dangerous to make China a climate scapegoat
First,the fact that China has played a constructive role in trying to get a good deal in Copenhagen,especially the last three years.China's proactive engagement has been recognized by experts working with China,including academics,policymakers and NGO's.China have submitted many proposals and engaged in a way that supports a global,rather than only a short-term nationalistic,agenda.It is also important to remember that it is the Western countries that have filled the atmosphere with greenhouse gases,have the highest emissions per capita and that are building factories around the world to feed their overconsumption.
Second,that China has strong domestic policies and makes real investments in a low carbon economy.These policies and investments are much more advanced than what Western countries did when they went through the industrialization phase of development and in many cases even better than what Western countries are doing today.For example,during 2009 China installed more wind power than the US,China leads the world in making solar cells,China is a leading manufacturer of key energy efficient solutions like energy efficient light bulbs and maybe most importantly China is now supporting innovative solutions for low carbon city development that allow people to live a high quality life without large emissions.
Third,that China has been very active in bilateral collaboration in order to support a low carbon development with EU,US and Japan as well as in South-South cooperation.Just before Copenhagen,China had bilateral meetings with both EU and the US where many important collaborations in renewable energy,smart grids,smart buildings and electric cars were included.
Fourth,the world must not forget that China is still a developing country and that China still has tens of millions of people in poverty.China is still investing in basic infrastructure and so far there is no developed country that is moving towards a low carbon infrastructure.
In order to support a more correct understanding of China it is important that policymakers in China consider a review of the current transparency,communication and engagement policies.During 2010 China could launch a "Go Global Green"-strategy,inspired by the current Go Global strategy.The new strategy should consider the following two issues:
First,there are no global institutions or global media.What is often referred to as global media,e.g.CNN,BBC,Reuters,AFP,Bloomberg are all Western media that still are dominated by Western perspectives.The same is true for many of the institutions,think tanks and NGOs that are called global.It is important that these institutions are given access to correct information,but also that they are invited to participate and discuss the information provided.A scientific approach where information is allowed to be criticized and discussed is important.

第一点,有个无容质疑的事实就是中国一直 致力在哥本哈根会谈上推动有益的事业,在过去三年中的成绩尤为突出.来自学术界,政界,和世界非营利组织的和中国合作过的学者们对中国积极的参与已经表示了认可.中国不仅提出过许多方案,而且遵循的战略方针是摒弃短期国家主义,而以全球为着眼点.关键大家别忘了是西方国家“贡献”了那些大气层里的温室气体,占据着人均最高的排放率,而且在全世界建设工厂来支撑他们的过度消耗.
第二点,中国有强有力的国家政策而且真正在建设低碳经济上下了投资.这些政策和投资比西方国家在它们经历发展阶段的时候所做到的要先进的多,甚至在很多方面比西方国家现在做的都要好很多.比如说,在2009年,中国建设的风力发电比美国还多,中国的太阳能电池制造领先全世界,中国是诸如节能灯泡之类核心节能产品的制造先驱,最重要的是,中国现在在提倡建设低碳城市的创新方案,好让人们高品质生活和低排放两不误.
第三点,中国在非常积极的建设和欧盟,美国,日本还有南-南合作的双边合作以支持低碳发展.在哥本哈根会谈召开前夕,中国还和欧盟和美国都举行了双边会谈,涉及了包括可更新能源,智能电网,智能建筑和电动车在内的许多重要合作.
第四点,这个世界要记住中国还只是一个发展中国家,还有千万计的人生活在贫困里.中国还仍在致力于基础设施的建设,而到目前为止还没有一个西方国家在向低碳设施的方向发展.
给中国带上全球气候恶人的帽子是错误的而且不公正的,如果 不很快扭转这个说法的话会带来严重的后果.一个全球气候恶人的形象对中国和全球的气候工作在很多方面都是危险的.因为政治人物,公司企业,和民众们的决定只能基于他们自己的理解而没法基于背后的真相.
比如说,一个高碳排放的形象会让勇于创新的公司避而远之,却引来环境污染和不负责任的公司来投资.这个形象也会影响到中国公司出口和在海外立足的机会.这些后果不仅给中国也会给全球减排的工作带来不良影响,
