China on "transfer emissions"

For the first time, I saw an article where a Chinese source is quoted on the carbon emissions associated with exported goods and services:

He [Cao Bochun, vice director of the Environment and Resources Protection Committee of the Chinese National People's Congress] also rebutted criticism of China's increasing greenhouse gas emissions, saying most of the critics have ignored a fact that transfer emissions account for some 30 percent of China's total greenhouse gas emissions, which means China has shifted some emission pressures from a lot of countries.
