Greetings, Jack. :2wave:

China as a "developing economy"was given the okay to use coal under the Paris Agreement, and they didn't waste any time in building coal burning factories as rapidly as they could get them built. It will be interesting to learn what approach they take on pollution, in all its forms, in coming days. :inandout:

How they can be considered "developing" is puzzling, but that's how the elite see them, I guess. They certainly appear to have the money to involve themselves in world affairs, not to mention the tons of gold they have bought over the years!

Their GDP/cap is pathetic; that's what the term is based on. Also, perhaps, percent of GDP in agriculture. I haven't looked in a bit. China survives by patent stealing and child slave labor.

Fwiw, I've disagreed with exempting them since Kyoto. There should be clear and significant goals for all countries.

The eastern part of China, mostly the coastal areas from Beijing down to Hong Kong has an income level close to that of eastern European countries (with some pockets at levels to lower level Western European countries. That accounts for approx 300-400 million people. A good 700 million people in China have income levels that would be more like Rural Mexico or central America.

So yes China is still a developing country, but with significant pockets of developed areas
