"Business-as-usual" atmosphere in NYC ahead of UN summitsBy Huang Xiangyang (chinadaily.com.cn)

NEW YORK: A "business-as-usual" atmosphere prevails as world leaders gather at the UN headquarters this week for a series of summits to discuss climate change, nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament, and other major world issues.
Several police vans parked on the streets near the UN buildings, and policemen with patrol dogs could be seen in nearby blocks. The New York City police authorities announced traffic control in the vicinity of the summit venue, which began at 2 am on Sunday (US time), but traffic flow on the First Avenue, by which the UN headquarters stands, did not seem thinner than the day before. Tour buses stopped by one after another. Outside the UN compound, a tour guide surnamed Liang was trying to comfort several complaining tourists, who found the UN tour had been canceled because of the upcoming events. "What you can see inside will be only conference halls, none of them as big as the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, which can hosts more than 10,000 people at a time," said Liang from Ritz Tour. A woman from Sichuan said she did not know the UN building would be closed to tourists beginning Sunday. "Otherwise I would have come yesterday". A UN security guard said the venue will be closed for tourists for the whole week during the session.
One block away, opposite the UN compound across the street, several lobby groups have already set up their camps in preparation for protests during the summit. Min Shwe Oo, media contact person of a Myanmar rights group which calls for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, said he had been there demonstrating every year during the UN sessions for the past six years. "In terms of security, there is no difference this year" he said. "Everything is as usual".
Europe views itself as the world leader and wants to limit climate change to 2 C above pre-industrial levels by 2050. It has pledged to cut carbon emissions by 20 percent by 2020, and to raise this to 30 percent if there is agreement at Copenhagen.
In the past few years while adhering to the Scientific Outlook on Development Hu promotes, China has been working towards rigorous targets - which it had set for itself - to promote clean energy, push for energy efficiency and cut greenhouse emissions.
I hope China will categorically outline her stance on vital international issues. I would be totally disappointed if deliberations after this UN summits turn out to be "the same old wine in old cups."
