US special envoy for climate John Kerry arrived in Beijing on Sunday for a three-day visit aimed at renewing bilateral cooperation on climate change between the world’s two biggest polluters. His trip follows on the heels of two other high-profile visits by US officials in recent weeks after years of tension between Beijing and Washington.
Kerry’s trip to Beijing is his third as President Joe Biden's climate emissary and could mark a reboot of climate negotiations between China and the United States after a year of impasse. Beijing cut off key ties – including cooperation on climate matters – with Washington in August 2022 after then US House speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, angering Beijing.
