I have no doubt that China will uphold their end of the agreement. The Chinese government is fully aware of the economic constraints posed by environmental degradation. In more developed/affluent Chinese cities, the Chinese government enforces rigid standards against polluters. In impoverished/rural China, the Chinese government looks the other way to speed up development.
The Chinese government will pursue this policy objective with or without the cooperation of the US. As China's economic model transitions from an export-driven manufacturing towards an economy more reflective of developed nations, rampant air pollution and degraded farmland will become more costly.
