From VOA News :
U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has urged Beijing to scrap barriers on imports of pollution-reducing technology. Daniel Schearf reports from Beijing the secretary praised China’s appreciating its currency, but said it should continue.
Secretary Paulson said high tariffs and other trade barriers are preventing the latest anti-pollution products from entering China.
He praised China’s energy and emission reduction goals, but said high technology is needed for China’s severely polluted air and water. He noted that China is home to 16 of the world’s 20 most polluted cities, and is to surpass the United States as the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
