China is not an example in any way shape or form for us. The differences are far too great but I can tell you that when their economy feels more pain they wont be implementing environmental programs. So all our attempts to stop or slow global warming are pretty moot anyway if the Chinese and other countires dont follow suit. Especially since there is no real live proof that the new policies will ever have any effect.
