the Chuinese are well known liars and cheats

Well, there’s that. It’s what made Kyoto a farce. Not just China, but all signatories failed to achieve their promised reductions, and most didn’t even try all that much. Russia was the most honest; they said publicly that there were signing it for form’s sake but had no intention of actually implementing any of it.

What will matter are actual results. The prospect of seeing any is, frankly, dim.

This looks like what we call an “agreement to agree” at work. Which at least guarantees another long round of meetings and free lunches in the near future.
