    Would you rather be in a room of the chinese population farting or the Australian population.

    Their methane output would be off the scale compared to us.

    BAck to Co2...what we contribute (And this DOES not include what our natural resources sequester).. We are Neutral.

    Seems it is OK for China to contribute 30% + of the C02
    Seems to be OK that Norway exports oil & gas far beyond Aust.

    Why do you hate Australia so Much & have different rules.

    I finally understand why Pacific Nations are 'sinking' & want our money (not Chinese)...it is to pay Chinese debt.

    China should forgive the debt as a gesture of good will to the Pac Nations

    Pacific Island nations owe 'astronomical' debts to China


    A new tar-sealed road, financed by a loan from China and completed in 2019, now connects Ms Kapalu's home to other parts of Tanna island, including its south
    .
    The infrastructure project, funded through a $US63 million ($96 million) loan for road upgrades on Tanna and Malekula — another island of Vanuatu — was a beginning of sorts.

    China has since lent the Pacific Island country money for other road upgrades, which have been celebrated locally for easing travel and promoting economic growth.

    But Vanuatu's climbing debt levels, combined with economic shocks from natural disasters and a collapsed national airline, may weaken its appetite for more loans.

    Now Tonga, Vanuatu and Samoa are spending some of the biggest sums in the world to repay debts to China, as a proportion of their GDP, according to Lowy Institute analysis.
    Tonga's annual debt repayments to China are nearly 4 per cent of its GDP — the third-highest level in the world.
    It's a rate that Lowy research associate Riley Duke calls "astronomically high".
    "On a global scale, it's really significant," he said.
    In Samoa, debt repayments to China are 2.6 per cent of GDP — the fourth-highest rate in the world — while Vanuatu's debt repayments (nearly 2 per cent) also put it in the top 10.

    Tonga has a steep hill to climb to repay the US$104 million loan before 2030, when the debt is due.
    As it struggled to find money for repayments after taking on the debt, Tonga's government negotiated for China's state-owned creditor EXIM Bank to extend its interest-only payment period.

    I guess China will absorb them into the fold, plunder their resources & instal military bases...to not tkae over the country.
