This indication came at COP16 in Cancun, when a senior member of the Chinese delegation declared that there had been some rethinking on transparency: "Now we think: if we have done something, why not say so?"121 Having formerly refused international monitoring of domestic mitigation efforts, this statement suggests a loosening of a tightly held position. While the implementation schemes have not yet been agreed, this development does signal a change. On the one hand, as the Copenhagen pledge has been incorporated into the twelfth five-year programme, the central leadership feels reassured that China will meet its target and thus not risk being exposed as a weak and unreliable actor in the international regime.
