It’s inaccurate to say that China’s carbon intensity target will rely on foreign funding. Chinese leaders have made it clear that the 40-45% target will be unilateral, and that it will not be contingent on either outside funding or the pledges of other countries.

While you’re absolutely correct that much work remains to be done to limit the growth of China’s emissions, I believe the most recent efforts have been in the right direction.
