It must take responsibility for its emissions, and it appears to be, in its own way. So for them to start to takes the Lead in Energy Usage will be every important.

If the Chinese government would do something about all these Air Conditioning Units. Replace them for the bigger ones on top of the buildings. That would save a really big amount of energy.

Replace them with the big units those are much more efficient.
