Lies and rumors against China bound to be debunked by facts: Chinese FM

"CHINA DOES WHAT IT SAYS"

On climate change, Wang said, "we are not only clear but also resolute in our actions."

"First of all, despite pressure from various parties, we stood firmly with France and facilitated the signing of the landmark Paris Agreement," he said.

"Secondly, China has achieved the 2020 target of emission reduction two years ahead of schedule."

The share of non-fossil energy in China's total energy consumption has risen to nearly 15 percent; the installed capacity of renewable energy accounted for 30 percent of the world's total, making up 44-percent of the global increase, Wang explained.

What's more, he noted, over half of the world's new energy vehicles are now running on Chinese roads, and a quarter of the world's newly afforested area since 2000 is in China.

"Thirdly, we have not stopped there," Wang added. "China is making new plans with long-term goals based on the new ecological needs of the country."

"These facts and figures show that China does what it says. It is also a fact that the air quality in Beijing is getting better and better," he said.
