China cheers ethnic Chinese pick for US energy sec
file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ksohtml/wps_clip_image1.pngBEIJING -China's media are cheering President-elect Barack Obama's pick of Chinese-American Steven Chu for the post of U.S. energy secretary, saying it bodes well for future cooperation between the two countries.
Photographs of Chu, who was born in St. Louis to Chinese parents, were printed on the front pages of major newspapers Friday, illustrating the pride China takes in the achievements of the vast Chinese diaspora.
The state-owned China Daily cited Chinese academics as saying Chu's ethnic background would ease cooperation between China and the U.S.
"Chu's presence will make the cooperation smoother," it cited Tsinghua University scholar Zhou Shijian as saying.
Chu, currently director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, has been a frequent visitor to China, which his parents left in 1943. They later opted to stay in the U.S. due to the political turmoil in their homeland that resulted in the 1949 seizure of power by the Communist Party, which continues to run China.
The Nobel Prize-winning physicist has been a vocal advocate of more research into alternative energy, arguing that a shift away from fossil fuels is essential to combat global warming.
China has pledged to work with other countries on a new climate-change treaty, but insists that developed nations bear the main responsibility for cutting emissions.
Major indicators show that China has surpassed the United States to become the world's biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming. Most of China's greenhouse gases come from coal combustion, but the country is reluctant to pledge cuts in emissions because its growing economy is largely dependent on coal for its energy needs.

中国北京报道，中国的媒体在欢呼美国新当选总统奥巴马提名美籍华人朱棣文作为美国能源部长，他们认为这预示着两国在以后会有良好的合作。
朱棣文在圣·路易斯出生，父母是中国人，他的照片在周五的主要报纸上出现在头版，阐明中国为广大的中国侨胞取得的成绩感到高兴。官方的中国日报援引中国学者的话说，朱的种族背景会改善中美的合作。清华大学教授周世佳（音）认为，他的出任会使得这种合作更加容易。
朱棣文是位于加利福尼亚的劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室的主任，自从他的父母在1943年离开中国后，经常访问中国。他们最终选择在呆在美国，来躲避中国的内战。
这位诺贝尔物理学奖获得者是个有名的倡导大力可替代能源研究人士，他认为应对全球变暖必须实现化石燃料的转变。
中国已经允诺和其他国家展开在一个新的气候变化条约的合作，但是坚持认为，发达国家在减排方面要承担主要责任。
在主要指标显示，中国已经超过美国成为世界上最大的CO2排放国，这对全球变暖有很大的贡献。中国大多数的温室气体来自煤炭燃烧，但是，中国只是勉强保证减少温室气体排放，因为她的经济发展对煤炭的需要量很大。
