Yesterday: Pachauri: China and India cannot be pressured
Pachauri, who is also on an advisory panel of the Chinese government, feels Beijing will not come under pressure from either western governments or multinational companies operating in China.

"China is very good at resisting pressures. Chinese leaders never sacrifice their national interests under external pressures," he said. His views on the issue may be somewhat different from that of Jairam Ramesh, the minister of state (independent charge) for environment and forests, who has been wary about possible changes in China's position.

Pachauri, who received the Nobel Prize on behalf of the IPCC, said India will not come under any pressure to agree on issues it is opposing, India will not agree to any mandatory limits on emissions and would reject any attempt to impose a global regime of verification and reporting, he said.
