ldquoIt is just like apartheidrdquo Nozipho Joyce Mxakato-Diseko South African leader of the G77
group of 132 poor countries complained bitterly in October ldquoWe find ourselves in a position
where in essence we are disenfranchisedrdquo
Other observers said the talks had always
been slanted against poor countries with
US corporate muscle setting the agenda
and making it hard for poor countries to
negotiate other than under extreme
pressure near the end of the summit when
their meagre resources would disadvantage
them
Asad Rahman of Friends of the Earth added ldquoWe had a string of unbalanced texts and
drafts before Paris The result was that we reached a place at the end of the first week
where we should have been nearly a year ago so this week there have had to be trade-
offs It was the deliberate engineering of a car crash so a deal was never going to be
sufficient or fairrdquo

ldquoIt is just like apartheidrdquo Nozipho Joyce Mxakato-Diseko South African leader of the G77
group of 132 poor countries complained bitterly in October ldquoWe find ourselves in a position
where in essence we are disenfranchisedrdquo
Other observers said the talks had always
been slanted against poor countries with
US corporate muscle setting the agenda
and making it hard for poor countries to
negotiate other than under extreme
pressure near the end of the summit when
their meagre resources would disadvantage
them
Asad Rahman of Friends of the Earth added ldquoWe had a string of unbalanced texts and
drafts before Paris The result was that we reached a place at the end of the first week
where we should have been nearly a year ago so this week there have had to be trade-
offs It was the deliberate engineering of a car crash so a deal was never going to be
sufficient or fairrdquo
But what do we really know about Chinarsquos
position and reaction to COP21
What pressures will emerge from this on

ldquoIt is just like apartheidrdquo Nozipho Joyce Mxakato-Diseko South African leader of the G77
group of 132 poor countries complained bitterly in October ldquoWe find ourselves in a position
where in essence we are disenfranchisedrdquo
Other observers said the talks had always
been slanted against poor countries with
US corporate muscle setting the agenda
and making it hard for poor countries to
negotiate other than under extreme
pressure near the end of the summit when
their meagre resources would disadvantage
them
Asad Rahman of Friends of the Earth added ldquoWe had a string of unbalanced texts and
drafts before Paris The result was that we reached a place at the end of the first week
where we should have been nearly a year ago so this week there have had to be trade-
offs It was the deliberate engineering of a car crash so a deal was never going to be
sufficient or fairrdquo

ldquoIt is just like apartheidrdquo Nozipho Joyce Mxakato-Diseko South African leader of the G77
group of 132 poor countries complained bitterly in October ldquoWe find ourselves in a position
where in essence we are disenfranchisedrdquo
Other observers said the talks had always
been slanted against poor countries with
US corporate muscle setting the agenda
and making it hard for poor countries to
negotiate other than under extreme
pressure near the end of the summit when
their meagre resources would disadvantage
them
Asad Rahman of Friends of the Earth added ldquoWe had a string of unbalanced texts and
drafts before Paris The result was that we reached a place at the end of the first week
where we should have been nearly a year ago so this week there have had to be trade-
offs It was the deliberate engineering of a car crash so a deal was never going to be
sufficient or fairrdquo

ldquoIt is just like apartheidrdquo Nozipho Joyce Mxakato-Diseko South African leader of the G77
group of 132 poor countries complained bitterly in October ldquoWe find ourselves in a position
where in essence we are disenfranchisedrdquo
Other observers said the talks had always
been slanted against poor countries with
US corporate muscle setting the agenda
and making it hard for poor countries to
negotiate other than under extreme
pressure near the end of the summit when
their meagre resources would disadvantage
them
Asad Rahman of Friends of the Earth added ldquoWe had a string of unbalanced texts and
drafts before Paris The result was that we reached a place at the end of the first week
where we should have been nearly a year ago so this week there have had to be trade-
offs It was the deliberate engineering of a car crash so a deal was never going to be
sufficient or fairrdquo
But what do we really know about Chinarsquos
position and reaction to COP21
What pressures will emerge from this on
the worldrsquos terrestrial carbon
