JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- China, the world's second biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, has announced it has ratified the Kyoto Protocol, bringing the environmental treaty one step closer to implementation. However, because China is regarded as a developing nation, it is not required to curb emissions. Instead, it would be eligible to earn credits by setting up emission-reducing projects and other so called clean development mechanisms. "China has ... completed the domestic procedure for the approval of the Kyoto Protocol with a view to taking an active part in multilateral environmental co-operation," Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji told the U.N. World Summit on Sustainable Development in the South African capital Johannesburg on Tuesday. archives.cnn.com
