'I Don't Want To Say the Gentleman is Ignorant'

What he means to say is the gentleman is a dumbass who doesn't realize the United States is deeply in hock to the ChiComs.

China's Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei on Friday said the chief U.S. climate negotiator either lacks common sense or is "extremely irresponsible" for saying that no U.S. climate financing should be going to China.

In unusually blunt language, He said he was "shocked" by U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern's comments earlier this week that China shouldn't expect any American climate aid money and that the United States was not in any debt to the world for its historical carbon emissions.

"I don't want to say the gentleman is ignorant," He told reporters at the U.N. climate summit in Copenhagen. "I think he lacks common sense where he made such a comment vis-a-vis funds for China. Either lack of common sense or extremely irresponsible."

Change!
