No doubt this is just propaganda meant for consumption by US policy makers. Alarmists can now say, “See… even China has a carbon tax.” Meanwhile, China does business as usual.
“China will proactively introduce a set of new taxation policies designed to preserve the environment, including a tax on carbon dioxide emissions, according to a senior official with the Ministry of Finance (MOF). The government will collect the environmental protection tax instead of pollutant discharge fees, as well as levy a tax on carbon dioxide emissions, Jia Chen, head of the ministry’s tax policy division, wrote in an article published on the MOF’s website.”
And where does Maurice Strong now live after the UN’s oil for food scam with Tongsun Park? CHINA. He couldn’t destroy America’s economy through Agenda 21 while commuting to and from his day job at UN headquarters, so now he’s trying to do it from Beijing. What happened to those ties with Obama and Gore from the Chicago Climate Exchange?
