Beijing wants Washington to soften its China policies before working with the United States on climate change, as the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP26) continues in Glasgow.

“You can’t ask China to cut coal production on the one hand, while at the same time imposing sanctions on Chinese photovoltaic enterprises,” said Wang Wenbin, spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, during a daily briefing on Nov. 2.
