China was exempt from the Kyoto Protocol's binding emission reduction targets because it was classified as a developing country at the time the agreement was established in 1997. The protocol primarily imposed obligations on industrialized nations, reflecting the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities." This allowed developing countries like China to prioritize economic growth and poverty alleviation without the immediate pressure of stringent emissions targets. However, as China's emissions grew significantly over the years, this exemption became a point of contention in global climate discussions.
