China's emission target 'disappointing': EU climate chief

The European Union criticised China's targets for cutting planet-warming gases Thursday, saying they fell "well short" of what the bloc thought was "both achievable and necessary" for the world's top polluter. "This level of ambition is clearly disappointing and given China's immense footprint, it makes reaching the world's climate goals significantly more challenging," EU climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra said Thursday.
