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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
