New Report: How International Climate Treaties Benefit China At America’s Expense
A new report from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) demonstrates how China takes advantage of international climate treaties at the U.S. expense.
The report, titled “Forcing the UN’s Hand on China,” takes aim at China’s designation as a “developing” country in the eyes of the United Nations despite its status as the world’s second-largest economy and leading emitter. [emphasis, links added]
That classification gives China more leeway and time [to comply] with international climate standards, while the U.S., a “developed” country with the largest economy in the world, is tied to more stringent compliance timelines and standards under the same treaties.
