Developed countries do not have enough money to buy a cup of coffee per capita in the world Xinhua News agency, CCTV local time 8th 5 o'clock in the afternoon, at the Copenhagen Conference Center, China News and Exchange Center, Deputy head of the Chinese delegation, climate negotiations, the Chinese chief negotiator Su held a media briefing.  This is the second briefing by the Chinese delegation in the 2 days of the meeting. Su at the meeting to criticize the Western countries again. He bluntly said, "the EU representative in the press conference this afternoon to compare China with the EU is not kind." "The EU compares China, it's not nice." The European Union negotiator said in a conference meeting in the afternoon that China's recent 2020 per cent GDP target for carbon dioxide reduction was an internal goal, and that the EU's targets were internal.  Now that we have come to Copenhagen, we should compare our goals to the negotiating table. In this respect, Su said that China's emission reduction targets are in full conformity with the principles of the Convention (UNFCCC) and also reflect the requirements of the Bali roadmap.  However, under the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities", the obligations of developed and developing countries are different. The emission reduction of the developed countries is an international obligation to be fulfilled, and our country as a developing country adopts the independent emission reduction measures. The EU is not honest about the international obligations that they should undertake compared with China's domestic initiative to reduce emissions.  This comparison is not suitable, the two are not comparable. In his view, the EU should be compared with its first phase of the commitment to cut emissions targets, 5 years in 2008-2012, the EU emissions reduction of 8%, equivalent to an annual emission reduction of 2.48%, now the EU proposed 20% emission reduction targets, from 2013 to 2020 8 annual emission reduction of 1.05%,    Less than half of the first commitment period. The per capita aid is not enough to buy a cup of coffee in terms of financial and technology transfer, developing countries have high hopes for developed countries, and developed countries say they will finance developing countries with money.  The United States and the European Union are reported to be willing to offer 10 billion dollars a year from 2010 to 2012 to help poor countries cope with climate change. Su said: "If the 10 billion dollars on average, the world's less than 2 dollars per person, in Denmark, even a cup of coffee can not afford." Su said: "Because the issue of climate change is related to life and death, and the pronunciation of coffee (coffee) and coffin (coffin) is very similar in English, I may not hear well, misunderstood some colleagues, they think that two dollars even coffin board can not afford." Su also said that Japan's 2020-year target of 25% per cent in 1990 was better than the previous government's, but its goal was to make the US a big commitment to cut emissions, while Japan knew that the United States would not participate in the Kyoto Protocol, and if so, "Japan's promised 25% is nothing".
