Crisis not to weaken fight for a green world

The global financial crisis will not lessen China's resolve to combat global warming, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday, a day before US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrives in Beijing.

Climate change is high on Clinton's agenda. Her maiden foreign trip has already taken her to Japan and Indonesia, and she arrived in Seoul, South Korea, yesterday.

For a long time, China has been fighting "climate change and has adopted a string of measures" on environmental protection, ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular briefing.
