Mr Kerry will meet his Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua and other officials on his four-day trip, during which he wants to engage with China on “increasing implementation and ambition” and ensure a successful Cop28.

You would think China would be in front of fighting climate change after so many years of some cities in China having such polluted skies from coal-burning factories and power plants. If people cannot breath and cars have to be left home on alternating days, that affects the economy. Coal (and oil) may be abundant (for now), but if relying on it for the majority of power in your nation, you will slow down your economy. Clean energy isn't alternative energy, its necessary to help businesses grow.

If the US can negotiate a plan to fight climate change, I hope it can do so without the heavy hand
