Pro-China narrative

China is a world leader in the renewable energy sector and can build on its leadership by providing technical support and capacity building for developing nations.

Anti-China narrative

China became the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide in 2006 and is now responsible for more than 25% of the world's overall greenhouse gas emissions.
