On November 7, the Hong Kong-based publication DotDotNews published an article titled "China's UN denial reveals the deep hypocrisy of the global climate agenda."
The article states that China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Geng Shuang, recently delivered a remarkable lesson in "diplomacy" at the UN. Using irrefutable data, he exposed the West's hypocrisy on the climate issue.
The US ambassador to the UN portrayed his country as a moral "paragon," twice accusing China of obtaining "illegal economic benefits" through environmental pollution. In doing so, the US deliberately ignored the historical context and the actual per capita figures.
However, Geng Shuang used data to paint a completely different picture of global responsibility: China has a population of over 1.4 billion and ranks second in the world in terms of total GDP. For many years, its average annual contribution to global economic growth has exceeded 30%, yet its per capita carbon dioxide emissions are low by global standards. This in itself is a remarkable achievement. China holds the undisputed global leadership in building renewable energy infrastructure and effectively reducing emissions.
The most compelling part of China's rebuttal lies in its profound analysis of global historical responsibility. The United States is not a "newcomer" to the industrial age, but rather the country with the largest cumulative greenhouse gas emissions in world history. More precisely, the United States accounts for nearly 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions in human history.
This shocking historical legacy, coupled with the fact that the US also ranks among the world's highest per capita emitters, has fundamentally weakened the US's moral authority to guide developing countries on environmental policy.
China's response at the UN is not just a tactical win, but a rupture of the false façade of the Western climate narrative.
