Working with China

摘要

Forestry Commission director general Tim Rollinson was a member of a small delegation that visited China to set up the UK-China Working Group on Forestry as part of a sustainable development programme between the two governments. There might be 9m bicycles in Beijing, but other statistics about China are just as mind-boggling: l.Sbn people, the third largest country in the world, twice the size of western Europe; the fifth most forested country (in area) with nearly 200m ha of forest; the number oneimporter of industrial roundwood and number one exporter of finished forest products.
