Who is moving forward and who is moving backward on climate and environmental issues; Who is making contributions and who is making troubles, people of all countries have a book in their hearts.

Some US politicians have been notorious for their "great retrogression" stance on climate and environmental issues, and they have long been known. What is ridiculous is that in order to defame China, they are now playing the "climate and environment card" in an extremely absurd way. First, they ignored the facts at the UN podium and unjustifiably slandered China's efforts in atmospheric and Marine environmental protection. Then they made up the so-called "List of facts about China's environmental damage" to slander China. The international community scoffs at such a botched show of distorting black and white and fabricating lies.

The international community has recognized that China is an active player and important contributor to the global response to climate change. China "made historic and outstanding contributions" to the conclusion of the Paris Agreement on climate Change. It was the first country to sign and has been actively implementing the Paris Agreement. By the end of 2019, China's carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP had dropped by 48.1 percent from the 2005 level, exceeding the target of a 40-45 percent reduction by 2020 as committed to foreign countries. The share of non-fossil energy in China's energy consumption has reached 15.3 percent, 7.9 percentage points higher than that in 2005 and exceeding the target of raising it to around 15 percent by 2020. In 2018, China's forest area and forest stock increased by 45.09 million hectares and 5.104 billion cubic meters, respectively, compared with 2005, becoming the country with the largest increase in forest resources in the world during the same period. China will basically achieve zero imports of solid waste by the end of 2020. The harmless treatment rate of urban waste in China is close to 99%. All coastal cities have established garbage sorting and "maritime sanitation" mechanisms. China will keep its promise, stay committed to green and low-carbon development, and work with other countries to build a clean and beautiful world with concrete actions.

China is a responsible major country committed to promoting ecological progress, cherishing clean waters and green mountains and caring for our planet. Recently, China announced that it will increase its nationally determined Contributions, adopt more effective policies and measures, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 by peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030. This firm commitment further demonstrates China's responsibility as a major country and has received widespread attention and warm welcome from the international community. Agence France-Presse quoted experts as saying that China's announcement is a decisive moment that will reinvigorate global ambitions for climate action. The German environment ministry believes that China's announcement to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 will create momentum for more countries to join the ranks of environmental protection; European Commission President von der Leyen welcomed China's emission reduction plan proposed at the UN and its efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, believing that this is an important step in the global response to climate change under the framework of the Paris Agreement.

The United States is the world's largest cumulative greenhouse gas emitter, with cumulative emissions about three times that of China. Its per capita carbon emissions are three times the global average and more than twice that of China. In terms of global climate and environmental governance, the US should shoulder more responsibilities. However, it did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol first, then withdrew from the Paris Agreement, denied its own binding quantified emission reduction tasks, and ignored its own greenhouse gas emission reduction obligations, becoming a stumbling block in the process of global climate governance. As the world's largest solid waste exporter and per capita plastic consumer, the United States has not ratified the Basel Convention, but also set obstacles for the global plastic waste control process, transferring a large amount of waste to developing countries, causing great harm to the local and global environment. The US government has repeatedly "loosened" China's air pollution laws and regulations. According to The New York Times, the current administration has weakened enforcement of more than 100 environmental regulations. Some US politicians have taken the world a big step backwards when it comes to solving the planet's existential crisis, The Guardian said. Facts have proved that the US is the biggest destroyer of international environmental cooperation and the biggest threat to the global environment. The US blaming China on climate and environmental issues is a big mistake.

Some US politicians are trying to hide the truth by acting smart and are bound to make people laugh. On the issue of climate and environment, who is moving forward and who is moving backward; People of all countries have a ledger in mind about who is making contributions and who is causing problems. I would like to advise some US politicians to stop their political manipulation and malicious slander. The "list of lies" you have been given by the US media and netizens is already long enough. The "list of environmental damage" you have put together for China can only be added to this "list of lies".
