China's development has created opportunities for the world and also greatly pushed global progress. Developed countries like the United States benefited a lot from China's development. If they enjoy the dividends of China's development on one hand, while questioning China's development on the other hand, they actually do not treat the development rights of 1.3 billion Chinese people seriously.
Jim Watson, a climate scholar from the University of Sussex, believes European and American powers are strongly hopeful to use their economic strength and level of environmental technology development to lead the world. Therefore, they always act as critics towards China.
On the issues of energy, resources, and climate change, requesting China to abide to the same standards of developed countries, complaining that China uses too much energy through so called counting, ignoring the fact that China's per capita energy consumption is far less than that of Western countries, and ignoring China's efforts on energy conservation and emissions reduction, actually reflect some people's long-term moral superiority complex and their ulterior motives deeply hidden in their hearts.
Only by respecting China's development rights can people make reasonable and fair judgments toward China's economic responsibility and understand China's development.
