Experts lauded China's balanced efforts in tackling climate change as well as boosting growth in CGTN's Talking China debate show broadcast on Tuesday.
China produces about 30 percent of the world's industrial products, but the carbon emissions are unfairly attributed to China despite these products not being consumed domestically, said Wang Wen, dean of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China.
China's per capita carbon emissions are only half of those of the United States, Wang pointed out.
He also criticized the withdrawal from the Paris agreement by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Echoing Wang, Li Cheng, founding director of the Center on Contemporary China and the World at the University of Hong Kong, said Trump's claim that "there is no such thing called climate change" is "extremely dangerous."
Li also said there is no contradiction of the Chinese government's policy in boosting growth and protecting the environment, citing its efforts in new energy development and promoting electric vehicles.
