Anglo American plc chairman Sir Mark Moody-Stuart told delegates China had the potential to skip a generation of errors in defining strategies for "clean growth".Moreover, given the sheer scale of Chinese manufacturing potential and of the domestic market, he said China would have the power to dictate many of the environmental standards going forward -- including those for automobiles. Sir Mark spoke during the second day of the conference on global sustainable development. "Whilst I pretend no monopoly on wisdom on the part of multinational companies, I do believe that a number of international extractive companies have a good deal to contribute in helping China to accelerate its learning process about the mistakes made elsewhere and how these can be rectified," he said.
