  • As distance tests a horse's strength...

    You shouldn't judge a person at first glance. Indeed, Chinese tradition is that you can never really know them until you have spent a long time together. And the comparison made by our forebears is with a horse, who also needed to be relied upon in times of trouble but was never really tested until after a long journey.

  • 3️⃣ *Japan has pledged to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 60% in the next decade from 2013 levels* but climate *campaigners said the target fell short of what was needed under the Paris Agreement* to limit global warming.

    *Under the Paris accord,* each country is supposed to provide *a headline figure to the United Nations for cutting heat-trapping emissions by 2035,* and a detailed blueprint for how to achieve this.

    *Japan is heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels* as the world's *fifth largest single-country emitter of carbon dioxide* after China, the United States, India and Russia.

    On Tuesday, *Tokyo's environment ministry said the country would slash emissions by 60% by the 2035* fiscal year.

    But Masayoshi Iyoda from *environmental group 350.org* noted that *scientists say an emissions cut of 81% by 2035 is needed for Japan to honour its commitments* to the 1.5 degree objective.
