CANCUN, Mexico- China will make compromises in the negotiation process, but “not on key issues,” stated Huang Huikang, China’s climate change envoy, on Sunday during the plenary of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Cancun.

Huang emphasized that China would make no compromise on two track negotiations, no compromise if interests of the developing countries are violated, and no compromise on the second period of commitment under the Kyoto Protocol.

The negotiator tested the creditability of developed countries, saying that their suggestions of replacing the Bali roadmap with a new proposal cannot be accepted by developing countries.

And he urged all parties to reach a legally-binding outcome as early as possible. Without a continuation of the KP commitment, he added, there will be “no balanced outcome at all.”
