在一个专责讨论长远合作行动的小组大会上，中国国家的谈判员在最后发言时主要响应了美国代表的诉求，还有继续与一众发中国家保持口径一致，认定有必要保持遵照公约及京都议定书去进行有关减排、应对、资金及科技转移的谈判。

美国代表在会议发言时，表示一众主要发展中国家需要跟发达国家共同提供资金及其他援助予有需要的国家。我相信，中国在响应时，甫开始就说出中国一直有尽自己该尽的责任，是为了还以颜色，拒绝背负不负责任之名。

中国的代表于会议以中文发言，论及中国一直有用心的去为人类福祉着想，也继续保持早前发表的降低减低碳强度的目标，即是于2020年达至降底碳浓度40-45% (相对2005年水平)。中国代表也同意印度代表说发展中国家已经做得比公约要求的更多。他特地提醒一众与会者，着大家要留意一众发达国家不断的在会议申明提供100亿美元的资金，但世界不要就以为这已经成为事实，因为这个金额是不足于援助发展中国家去作减排及适应的发展。

最后他说，一切的谈判都不可超出巴里岛路线图所刻画的框架，要不然谈判就会变得更复杂了。

另外，国家发改委副主任解振华早前有提出有关于「十二‧五」的计划，主要着重于改善节能的工作，像是发展可再生能源跟核能，还有植树造林，以为于建筑、交通上提升节能效益，实践低碳经济。但前题仍然是要发展经济及扶贫，可是绝对不会仿效发达国于过去的大量排放。

During the ad hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions opening plenary, the Chinese delegate have made the speech towards the end of the plenary. It seems to be responding to the US’s pledge to the key developing countries to play their roles alongside with the industrialized nations in combating climate change together, which seems like hinting that the key developing countries including China have not been taking up their responsibility.

The Chinese delegate mentioned in his speech that China is a responsible country in combating climate change, which seems responding to the pledge made by the US. The Chinese delegate continued in his speech in Chinese, which was consistent with the announcement made earlier that, by 2020, China will have the reduction in its carbon intensity by 40-45% against 2005 level. Agreeing what the Indian delegate stated that a number of developing countries have already done a lot in mitigation actions that are far exceeding what they are required to do.

The negotiator reminded the rest of the floor that quite a number of countries have made the statement that they will make US$10bn as mitigation fund, which put it the way as if it is almost confirmed to be included in the treaty. He doubted with the reason that the developed countries should take up their historical responsibilities, as well as the high emission rate till present, by providing adequate finance and technology transfer.

Lastly, in his speech, he mentioned that it is a most to refer back to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, as well as the Kyoto Protocol. The last point was quite interesting though, he said that people should be mindful of the developed nations trying to shift the mitigation responsibility to the developing nations. What the conference has to get done should not exceed what is set out in the Bali Action Plan, to avoid getting the negotiation more complicated.

In various discussions with China’s NGOs, it seems that China alone can already achieve the reduction of carbon reduction by 40-45% against 2005 level. This implies that China has the capacity to go further if there’s finance and technology support provided by the developed nations.

Another plan on China’s road to a greener future was mentioned by the Vice Chairman of the National Development and Reform, Mr Jia Zhenh back at China, which is related to the 12^th Five-Year Plan. In this grand picture, China will include a number of energy saving and carbon reduction target. I would prefer China to focus on developing renewable energy to nuclear energy somehow; anyway, both are keys to achieving national mitigation actions. Other key aea would be enforcing forestation, and taking up energy saving measures in architecture and transportation, in order to develop a low carbon economy. Jia put a point which gives way to China’s continuous growth by indicating that developing nations will rank economic development and combating poverty on the top of the agenda. However, they will not follow the high energy consumption and emitting without restriction history exhibited by the developed nations.
