China and U.S. Return to Climate Discussions as John Kerry Visits Beijing

Beijing and Washington have resumed climate change talks during U.S. climate envoy John Kerry’s visit to China, after such discussions were abandoned following former U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan trip last year.

Kerry’s visit comes as China and the U.S. ramp up diplomatic efforts through high-level engagements to stabilize bilateral ties, which have worsened due to a series of disputes including trade, technology and security matters.
