GREENPEACE CHINA is “testing the waters” and will avoid the dramatic and confrontational protests it uses in other countries, director Ho Wai Chi told reporters at a press conference in Beijing.

“In different countries we have different styles of actions [..so they don't throw our tushes in the clink..],” he said in response to questions on whether activists would be chaining themselves to trees or surrounding toxic waste ships.

Ho said two-year-old Greenpeace China has a “working relationship” with the Beijing government and would share its expertise with the State Environmental Protection Administration, a cabinet-level body whose profile is rising.

“We acknowledge they have made a lot of effort," he added, "but we want to speed up the process.”

ECONOMIC ARGUMENT
China, which uses seven times more energy to produce one dollar of gross domestic product than developed countries, must promote cleaner and more efficient energy use and not wait until it gets rich to clean up its skies and waters, Ho said. “If we have to pollute first and clean up later, that means we are paying twice.”

Direct economic losses from pollution averaged three to five percent of GDP in the 1990s, Greenpeace said, quoting official Chinese data.

In its report, Greenpeace China claimed China faced “environmental meltdown” if it waited to get rich before tackling environmental ills like recurring and worsening floods, acid rain and foul urban water and air.
