Abstract: Liu et al report an overestimation of carbon emission from fossil fuel combustion and cement production in China. We test the robustness of their findings from various aspects on methodology, data and uncertainty. We found their findings contains serious mistakes and misunderstanding on inventory methodology and energy data. Thus casting daout on their conclusion that previous studies overestimate China's carbon emission.
