How do I know China wrecked the Copenhagen deal? I was in the room
[Quote:]
Copenhagen was a disaster. That much is agreed. But the truth about what actually happened is in danger of being lost amid the spin and inevitable mutual recriminations. The truth is this: China wrecked the talks, intentionally humiliated Barack Obama, and insisted on an awful “deal” so western leaders would walk away carrying the blame. How do I know this? Because I was in the room and saw it happen.
who was in the room?
Mark Lynas was the correspondent. It’s written just next to his picture. Follow the “(Quote) link.
Seems like the Chinese have watched and learned the lessons of diplomacy as well as they learned the lessons of capitalism. Unilaterally acting against the wishes of most of the rest of the world? Gee, sounds a lot like a certain US president and some middle eastern situations. And all this for the most part because the world wants the product of cheap labor in China. Oh wait, that’s benefiting the same multinational conglomerates who make the money off of the cheap labor – color me not too surprised.
