Beijing has insisted the US must rid itself of the “negative influence” created by Nancy Pelosi’s controversial visit to Taiwan before bilateral climate talks resume.
US Special Envoy on “Climate Change”, John Kerry urged Chinese President Xi Jinping to resume cooperation ahead of the UN’s COP27 climate summit in November, claiming that breaking off bilateral climate relations punished the whole world.
China’s Foreign Ministry also indicated that although Pelosi’s provocative visit had hit their cooperation with the US, Beijing would still cooperate at international forums on “climate change”.
