Behind the Big Turn in Chapter 631

Ask for a ticket.

Compared with two years ago, Lord Cole has not changed much, just from the vice chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee to the deputy head of the British delegation, but Liu Shiqing's change is earth-shaking, from an unknown sophomore in high school. Leap into becoming a person who can have a weightlifting impact on the world.

As an expert in social and public relations, Lord Cole will not still treat Liu Shiqing as an ignorant middle school student two years ago, on the contrary, he himself is very aware of the changes in Liu Shiqing's identity, and he respects Liu Shiqing quite a lot in his words and deeds.

"Mr. Liu, I can get your promise. It's just wonderful. I will definitely convey it to Her Majesty the Queen immediately, so that the royal family will be happy as well. Lord Cole's face gleamed with excitement, "I speak for the British people. Thank you, Mr. Liu, for agreeing to attend the christening ceremony of the little princess and the little prince. ”

In the United Kingdom, there has always been a debate about whether to abolish the royal family, some people believe that there is no need for the royal family to exist at all, and some people believe that the royal family is an indispensable part of the United Kingdom. With the exhibition of the times. There is a growing trend in favor of abolishing the royal family. Lord Cole, as a staunch royalist, was worried. Now that Liu Shiqing can agree to go to London to attend the baptismal ceremony, it will undoubtedly greatly boost the prestige of the royal family and avoid the fate of being abolished.

"Prince William is a good friend of mine, and I am the godfather of the little princess and the little prince, and it is only natural that I should attend their baptism." Liu Shiqing will also be obedient, and he will never mention how he politely refused the invitation of Elizabeth II and others at this time.

Lord Cole nodded frequently, "It is not only an honor for His Royal Highness Prince William to have such a friend as you, but also an honor for us in Yingxian County. ”

Liu Shiqing asked: "Didn't you say that you came to me this time, there are three purposes?" What is the third purpose? ”

Lord Cole smirked, "That's right. Mr. Liu, I have been entrusted by the British delegation to convey to you our attitude. At this World Climate Conference, we, the British delegation, hope to be able to advance and retreat together with the Chinese delegation. Let's face the problem of CO2 emissions around the world. ”

Liu Shiqing's heart couldn't help but move. He was appointed as the technical general adviser of the delegation this time, before coming to Moscow. I did a lot of homework, I consulted a lot of information, not to mention, I also asked Lu Yongxiang to introduce a few academicians who have participated in several previous world climate conferences, and introduced the situation to him.

The Kyoto Protocol, which originally bound more than 180 countries in the world, expired in the year of the force. Therefore, in the year of Rukou, the countries of the world gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark, to negotiate a convention that could replace the "Kyoto Protocol", and could draw up a standard for the carbon dioxide emissions of each country.

But at the World Climate Conference in Copenhagen. From the very beginning, it was carried out in a conspiracy, first the countries of the West, unilaterally throwing out a convention, hoping that the agenda of the meeting would move in the direction they had drawn up. This move by the country has sown a very bad seed for the meeting, and has also met with strong opposition from many countries, including China, India, Brazil, and Russia.

As the world's largest exhibition country. Da Guo aimed the spearhead at Huaxia from the beginning. Trying to force Huaxia to accept a plan that is very unfavorable to Huaxia. Naturally, this was met with strong opposition and dissatisfaction from Huaxia. China's response has also become the responsibility of Western countries for failing to achieve effective results at the Copenhagen World Climate Conference. It was pushed to Huaxia's head.

In fact, there are many reasons why it is difficult to reach an agreement that satisfies all countries. Western countries are reluctant to pay for their history of emitting large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, are unwilling to provide relevant CO2 reduction technologies at low prices or free of charge, and are unwilling to provide funds for developing countries. The developing countries, on the other hand, will develop their own economies. Maintain sustained growth of the country's economy. I put it in place.

The funniest thing in this is the United States. Although the United States signed the "Kyoto Protocol" when it was stunned, it was still in the year of the year. Bush Jr., then US President of the United States, announced his refusal to ratify the "Kyoto Protocol" on the pretext that "reducing greenhouse gas emissions will affect the US economy" and that "countries in the exhibition should also bear the obligation to reduce emissions and limit greenhouse gas emissions." As a result, the United States, the world's most industrialized country, has been outside the Kyoto Protocol. And at the World Climate Conference in Copenhagen. When the developing countries asked the United States for help, the American delegates turned a blind eye to the demands of the developing countries and talked about the importance of intellectual property protection. Take the money and buy it.

It has to be said that among the Western countries, it is not the old industrialized countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom that pay the most attention to the world's environmental problems. It's Japan. At the Copenha Heart "Finland climate conference", Japan pledged to provide aid funds from the countries of the United States by the end of the year. In stark contrast, Australia, France, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States have all announced that they will provide US$100 million in public finance to help developing countries reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.

Japan alone provides $100 million in land. Australia, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Norway are willing to provide a total of $100 million in aid.

It is precisely because of the difficulties that each country has its own demands, and each country has its own interests, and wants to reach one. It is very, very difficult to be able to accept the text of the convention by the vast majority of countries in the world. So much so that after the World Climate Conference in the murderous year, several sessions were held one after another. No agreement was reached. It has been delayed until this year, that is, it is remote.

The UK on the issue of CO2 emissions. It is basically the same as the interests of other countries, in the past World Climate Conference. They have always been together, and although they may have some different opinions from each other, they are generally consistent.

The senior representative of the British delegation took the initiative to find the senior members of the Chinese delegation and asked the two sides to advance and retreat together, which was the first time in history that Liu Shiqing felt a little incredible.

"Lord Cole, I am only the technical general adviser of the delegation, and I don't care about the specific matters. You shouldn't say this to me, you should tell our regimental leader. Liu Shiqing reminded.

Lord Cole smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Liu for reminding me, while I am talking to you, the head of our British delegation has already gone to visit the head of your delegation, Secretary General Bi." Discuss the possibilities and ways in which the two sides can take concerted action at the World Climate Conference. Mr. Liu, I know that you are the technical chief adviser of the delegation, but your influence in the delegation is not inferior to that of the deputy heads of delegation.

I hope you will be able to cooperate with both parties. Playing a positive role, we are both British and Chinese. We can face the problem of CO2 emissions all over the world together. At the same time, Mr. Xiang also asked me to convey a few words to you, the British government is willing to contribute to the issue of carbon dioxide emission reduction in China. Provide a part of the financial assistance and technical assistance. ”

It was getting late, and Lord Cole got up to take his leave. Liu Shiqing personally sent him to the door of the room, and Lord Cole took a few steps before turning around. "Mr. Liu, there is something I want to ask you? You really studied the atmosphere of the curtain "Alas. Forget it, don't ask. Goodbye, Mr. Liu, and I hope we can meet again soon. ”

After sending Lord Cole away, Liu Shiqing frowned, he couldn't figure out why the British attitude made a 180-degree turn, this British's performance at previous World Climate Conferences was not the same.

"Lao Quan, you are a fan of the authorities. You jump out and think about why the British delegation wants to go with our delegation, such an important thing. Are they going to send such a high-ranking representative as the deputy head of the regiment to sue you? "As a bystander, Yang Nuoting looks at the problem from a different angle than Liu Shiqing," they do. Isn't it because of you, boss? Now, you have become the target of the British government's great efforts to woo you. To be able to gain your support for the UK government. It is very possible that they will make some concessions on carbon dioxide emissions and even other international issues. Don't forget, boss, that the British are one of the most flexible and tactful of all the countries in dealing with problems, and of course they are also one of the most cunning and cunning countries, for the long-term interests of their country. They will do a lot of things that make others feel incredible. ”

Liu Shiqing nodded, listening to Yang Nuoting say this, he also remembered one thing, that is, after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Britain was the first Western country to announce the recognition of China, and a few years later, it officially established diplomatic relations with China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a period of unbearable history, that is, the ten-year Cultural Revolution.

At that time, the British came to China to do business. When they walked out of the hatch of the plane, they would wear the chairman's badge on their chests, just like the Chinese people at that time. Inside his hand is waving a red book. At that time, the central media in China also made special comments on this matter, saying that the chairman's influence had affected the whole world, and the British people supported and supported the Cultural Revolution.

But the fact is that the British Foreign Office and the Ministry of Commerce did special research, at that time. If a foreigner wears the chairman's badge and holds a red treasure book, he will receive a series of preferential treatment in China, and many impossible things can be approved unimpeded just because of a thin red treasure book. After the British Foreign Office and the Ministry of Commerce came to this conclusion. Take the initiative to remind those citizens who come to China to do business, tell them what to do, you can get more benefits and benefits. This is the best example of the flexibility and cunning of the British. F
