There was a major breakthrough at the Cop-26 climate change conference when China and the United States issued a joint declaration. They said they would work together to achieve the 1.5C temperature goal set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. It paves the way for a historic virtual summit between US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping before the end of 2021. In this podcast, Qinduo Xu a political analyst from China`s Pangoal Institution gives his view on Xi Jinping`s climate policy to host Duncan Bartlett, Editor of Asian Affairs magazine.
