China to Build Industrial System of Low-carbon Emissions

China will build an "industrial system" and "consumption pattern" with low carbon emissions, according to a government work report to be delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao at the parliament's annual session Friday.

China will work hard to develop low-carbon technologies as well as new and renewable energy resources to actively respond to climate change.

The report also outlines plans to increase China's forest carbon sinks and expand forests by at least 5.92 million hectares in 2010.

The text of the report was distributed to the media prior to the opening of the National People's Congress (NPC) annual session.
