		China's share of world carbon emissions is expected to increase in coming years, reaching 17.8% by 2025.
		China is a non-Annex I country under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, meaning it has not agreed to binding emissions reductions in the Kyoto Protocol, which it ratified in August 2002.
		China's domestic greenhouse-gas reduction activities are based on "no-regrets" strategies in energy efficiency and conservation, clean energy supply and reforestation.

		China is extremely cautious and responsible in the management of its nuclear weapons, and has established strict rules and regulations and taken effective measures to ensure the safety and security of its nuclear weapons.
		China maintains that the exploration and utilization of outer space should be for the sole purpose of promoting the economic, scientific and cultural development of all countries, and benefiting all mankind.

		China's environment is edging closer to a condition of crisis.
		For example, attacks on China's environmental management for its impact on surrounding states, such as Japan, could be used to argue against further investment in the country or be highlighted during territorial disputes in the East China Sea to agitate anti-Chinese sentiment.
		As the health of China and its economy is inextricably linked to all of the world's most developed economies, wealthy states and non-governmental organizations should consider additional courses of action to help China form a credible environmental movement supported by legal experts, academics and party officials sympathetic to change.

	Environment of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mainland China's increasingly polluted environment is largely a result of the country's rapid development and consequently a large increase in primary energy consumption, which is almost entirely produced by burning coal.
		China has pursued a development model which prioritises exports-led growth (similar to many other East Asian countries), by expediting increases in manufacturing capacity, largely in the absence of any significant ecological or pollution controls to reduce polluting emissions from the nation's rapidly industrialising economy.
		Water scarcity also is an issue; for example, severe water scarcity in Northern China is a serious threat to sustained economic growth and has forced the government to begin implementing a largescale diversion of water from the Yangtze River to northern cities, including Beijing and Tianjin.

	China's Nuclear Environment
		China's consistently pursued policy of major power status and its global economic clout combine to place China in a pivotal position in the future conduct of world affairs.
		One analyst has argued that for China's nuclear deterrent posture "very few nuclear missiles, anywhere from a handful to several tens, are sufficient." (37) Johnston continues the western trend to categorise China's posture as a 'minimum deterrent' and suggests that "a state that employs minimum deterrence requires qualitative and quantitative inferiority".
		China's theatre forces are often categorised in the West as tactical missiles, which is a misleading term because it tends to imply only a battlefield, war-fighting utility.

		Investment funds may initiate operations in China and accomplish nearly two-thirds of their current needs while creating the rather significant real option value of having an established organization in Mainland China before total foreign control is permitted, which may be within five years.
