China Improves Their GPA by 3% Yet..

I really need to improve my headline wording.
China, actually, has improved their GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
by 3%.
See China set aim to reduce their energy consumption per unit of Gross Domestic Product by 20% and cut pollution emissions by 10% between 2006 and 2010 yet..
"..We have not yet completely reached our targets and if this trend doesn't reverse, it will have a great impact on our goals." stated Xie Zhenhua, the deputy head of the National Development Reform Commission. (That's him in the photo.)
Xie said China's energy consumption per unit GDP in the first nine months of this year was 3% lower than the same phase last year.
The entire year goal is 4%.
"The results of our energy consumption and emission reduction (efforts) are starting to show."
Even though China has failed to reach its goal of 4%, I commend their continuous effort to improve their current crisis. The Chinese government has set a pace to cut greenhouse gas emissions and improve their energy consumption this past year by closing obsolete coal-fired plants and steel factories. Source.
