A top Chinese diplomat warned developed countries on Tuesday against using climate change as an excuse to set up trade barriers.
Yu Qingtai, China’s climate change ambassador, said rich nations should not think that slapping carbon tariffs on imports from countries with different emissions control regimes would substitute for reaching a global deal to tackle warming.
His comments came shortly after China said that Premier Wen Jiabao would leave for Copenhagen on Wednesday afternoon, suggesting he would arrive earlier than previously planned and adding extra political impetus for a deal.
