BEIJING - China on Tuesday hailed the US government's plan for greenhouse gas cuts, calling for America to take a leading role in global climate change action.
"China noticed the US Clean Power Plan. We welcome it and expect it to be passed at a hearing soon," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a daily press briefing.
Hong's comments came after the US government issued a plan ordering major cuts in the pollution discharged by America's power plants, proposing to force a 30-percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2030 from 2005 levels.
Hong said China is glad to see America take a leading role in global efforts to tackle climate change, while China will also step up its efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
