...China and Japan: The New Green Team If the U.S. is half of the solution to Copenhagen, then China - now the world's top carbon emitter - is the other half.

Promotion to its vice chairmanship is widely seen as an essential step in the opaque process by which the Party selects its next leader. Critically, Hu's appointment to the same job was announced at the Plenum held three years before he ascended to the General Secretaryship of the Party in 2002.
