China is still a developing country with a myriad of tasks and challenges.

China is a main energy consumer and, therefore, is also a big greenhouse gas emitter. We must use energy resources rationally and must conserve. This needs us to adjust our economic structure, transform the mode of development, to make economic development more dependent on progress of science and technology and the quality of the work force.

China's development benefits other countries.

China is an area where we need to be present. Lots of companies want to supply their products to China.

China's development is an opportunity for the international community, for Japan and for the Asia-Pacific.

The Chinese have done some extraordinary things in terms of the investments they've made in alternative sources of energy.

Every global concern - economic, environmental or security-related - can be addressed more effectively when the U.S. and China work together.

Globalised manufacturing and procurement mean that a lot of high-polluting, heavy duty jobs are transferred to China. We will ask major companies, such as Wal-Mart, Microsoft and IBM to put pressure on their Chinese suppliers.

China leads the world in energy consumption, carbon emissions, and the release of major air and water pollutants, and the environmental impact is felt both regionally and globally.

In China we need to do our own part to try to combat global climate change.
