China, US cooperation on climate change a model of how two nations can resolve differences, says Chinese negotiator Xie Zhenhua’s comments come as two sides’ top officials meet in Beijing to discuss range of issues, including tensions over China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea PUBLISHED : Monday, 06 June, 2016, 4:12pm UPDATED : Monday, 06 June, 2016, 4:23pm China and the United States’ cooperation in tackling climate change is an example of how the two countries can work together to resolve their differences, Beijing’s top climate change negotiator said on Monday. The way the two nations had cooperated on the issue was a model example of a new type of power relations between the two countries that China’s President Xi Jinping is seeking, said Xie Zhenhua. Xie made his comments on the sidelines of the annual strategic and economic dialogue between top US and Chinese leaders, which is now underway in Beijing. Xi Jinping calls on US and China to create greater trust as high-level talks between two nations start in Beijing The two sides are discussing a range of issues, including rising tensions between Beijing and Washington over China’s increasingly assertive territorial claims in the South China Sea. “[As long as we can] increase mutual understanding, build mutual trust and respect each other’s core interests and major concerns, we can always find solutions to our differences,” said Xie. The climate deal negotiator dedicated a large part of his 30-minute briefing lauding how the two countries’ top leaders had worked together on the issue. Their cooperation included three joint statements by Xi and Barack Obama since 2014 that laid some of the foundations to secure a climate change deal in Paris last year. Ensuring that the Paris agreement goes into force as soon as possible will be a major task for China and the US this year, said Xie. China and US reach historic deal on climate change “Cooperation on climate change between the two countries is a highlight in the new type of major power relations, as well as an exemplar of a new global governance system,” he said. The two countries decided to bury the hatchet and stop challenging and blaming each other during international climate talks after the failure of the 2009 Copenhagen climate summit to reach a global deal. Since Xi took office three years ago he has repeatedly promoted the idea of a new type of “major power relations” to govern China-US ties based on cooperation and mutual respect, receiving only a lukewarm response from Washington. Xie said China would try to encourage more countries’ initiatives on new energy, energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction when it hosts the G-20 meeting of major economies later this year. US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew told the climate discussion that the US would work with China on new green finance initiatives that China will launch during its G-20 presidency. “We can only reach the unprecedented levels of funding needed for climate financing by using a variety of channels, including development finance institutions, direct bilateral assistance, the multilateral development banks and new funds, such as the Green Climate Fund and China’s South-South Climate Cooperation Fund,” he said. scmp.com
