...China is already a global leader in environmental technology. It is the world's largest manufacturer of electric bicycles, and may dominate production of electric cars. Chinese factories churn out 30% of the world's solar panels-including those used in Baigong village-and the country is doubling its wind-power capacity annually. "This is not an issue of China's good faith," Blair told TIME. "China is doing an immense amount."(Read "Less Carbon, More Lead...

Air Force partisans got wind of the Centcom chief's comments and tracked them down to the Marine Corps Association website, which carried both the text of Petraeus' prepared remarks - including the ponytail crack - and a video of his talk.
