China will release the development of its emission cutting actions every two years, Xie Zhenhua, vice minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, said Wednesday.
Xie, one of China's leading negotiators for climate change talks, made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature.
In November, China announced it aimed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent compared with 2005 levels.
Xie said China is not subject to international scrutiny on greenhouse gas emission reduction targets since it finances its own emission reduction efforts, which makes the practice an issue of sovereignty.
However, Xie added that to make the climate change negotiations move on, "China will agree to consultations and analysis from the international community on the emission cut initiative, but not invasive scrutiny."
