China’s export-orientated production has grown 5 by 26% annually over this period, twice the average export growth rate since 1990, 6 when China opened its trade with the West. By 2005, total export was one-third the 7 size of Chinas GDP, increased from 12% in 1987 and 23% in 2002. The dominant 8 exporting sectors include electronics, metals, chemicals and textiles products. 9 10 The large-scale boom in manufacturing has lead to an increased consumption of 11 carbon-intensive fuels. China’s primary energy consumption nearly doubled from 12 2002 (1,482 million tones coal equivalence - Mtce) to 2007 (2,656 Mtce), reflecting 13 exponential growth in energy cons
