At the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), the United States and China issued a joint statement on Nov. 10 promising to strengthen actions against climate change in the next ten years. Experts believe that the Chinese communist regime is not a sincere partner on climate change issues and there’s another motive behind it.
In the deal signed in Glasgow, the two countries agreed to cooperate on a range of issues, including methane emissions, transitioning to clean energy, and decarbonization. However, China and the United States have barely set specific targets for action. Both countries have not joined the pledges regarding coal power or electric vehicles, and China has not agreed to end overseas fossil fuel financing, reduce methane emissions, or implement a more sustainable plan for agriculture. Neither did it agree to commitments regarding clean electricity, green steel, or road transportation.
