3. UN set the framework and drag everyone to play the games they set and made. Whether countries want to or not they don't have a say in it at all. This is one of the bad trait about humans being a social herd species.

   Whether obeying will really do anything on the world climate or not is unknown but creating a new economic and power playground is obvious to see and who win in these games will have better to eat and use in this world. Boring human stuffs again.

6. Today, China leads the world in renewable energy. According to new data from Global Energy Monitor, China's total wind and solar power production is nearly double that of the rest of the world combined which enough to power all of South Korea. In 2023 alone, China added nearly twice as much utility scale solar and wind power capacity as in any previous year, by the first quarter of 2024 China's total utility scale solar and wind capacity reached 758 gigawatts with the total including distributed solar hitting 1,120 gigawatts according to the China Electricy Council. Wind and solar now make up 37% of China's total power capacity and 8% increase from 2022 and are expected to surpass coal which currently accounts for 39% in 2024.

7. On 8th and 9th May 2024, the meeting of the China-US Working Group on Enhancing Climate Action in the 2020s was held in Washington DC. It was co-chaired by China’s Special Envoy for Climate Change Liu Zhenmin and Senior Advisor to the US President for International Climate Policy John Podesta. China has released a readout which you may refer to. Let's quickly go over some of the details.

   The meeting recalled the discussion between the two Presidents in San Francisco and focused on areas identified in the Sunnylands Statement on Enhancing Cooperation to Address the Climate Crisis, including energy transition, methane and other non-CO2 greenhouse gases, circular economy and resource efficiency, as well as cooperation on multilateral issues related to promoting a successful UNFCCC COP 29. The two sides shared the experiences and challenges regarding their respective climate policies and actions, and further expressed their intention to engage in related technical and policy exchange. The two sides intend to host a second “Methane and Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases Summit” at COP 29 and look forward to the China-US High-Level Event on Subnational Climate Action, to be held 29th and 30th May, in Berkeley, California.

   In that context which need to point out that despite its professed willingness to strengthen cooperation with China on climate change, the US has been hyping up the so-called “overcapacity” in China’s new energy sector and vowing to impose additional tariff hikes on Chinese electrical vehicles and solar products. This is self-defeating. It goes against the consensus reached in San Francisco on joint climate response, and more importantly, it will harm the world’s green economic transition and climate action. The US need to stop repairing and digging up the road at the same time, so to speak, and create enabling conditions for China-US climate cooperation and global green transition.
