something that hardly ever happens on chinese soil. in a deal forged by the world s two largest economies, and its biggest polluters to combat climate change, president obama and chinese president xi unveiled an aggressive plan to cut greenhouse gases. this is an ambitious goal, but achievable. the u.s. would cut a third of it s carbon emission levels set in 2005 by the year 2025. china would have until 2030 to level off its emissions. the climate accord may be the boldest sign yet of the president s determination to bolster u.s. ties with china at a time when he s putting heads with russia s vladimir putin. the united states welcomes the continued rise of a china that s peaceful, prosperous and stable. mr. obama and xi went on to take questions. one from an american journalist. rare on chinese soil. high drama, the chinese president initially ignored the questi question. then xi conceded the country s human rights record is not perfect. china has made enormous prog
