China's rise opportunity, rather than threat: ambassador (2)

"China is the first developing country to formulate and implement the National Climate Change Program. It is also one of the countries which had made the greatest efforts in energy saving and emission reduction and which have made the fastest progress in developing new and renewal energy sources in recent years," he said.

Luo said China's peaceful development has broken away from the traditional pattern where a rising power was bound to seek hegemony.

"China's path of peaceful development is a choice of inheriting the Chinese historical and cultural tradition of 'unity without uniformity' and 'you should not do unto others what you would not have them to do unto you.'" he said.

"China's path of peaceful development is a choice determined by China's basic national conditions and a choice that represents the global trend. The practice for several decades has proved that it's a right choice and we have no reason to change it," he said.

"Meanwhile, I would simply emphasize that China will not create troubles but neither will it fear troubles. We are firm in our resolve to uphold China's sovereignty, security and development interests and will never yield to any outside pressure," he said.

On China-Europe relations, he said China and Europe are major economies in the world as well as important forces in the international setup.

"China remained confident about the future of European integration, and has provided firm support to Europe since the outbreak of the debt crisis. We contributed 43 billion U.S. dollars to the IMF, and provided assistance to Europe within our capabilities through purchasing European treasury bonds and increasing imports from Europe," Luo said.
