Analysis: President Biden seeks to leverage the absence of China at global climate summits to reassert US leadership on the global stage.
Biden said the same was true of Russia, another U.S. adversary whose leader, Vladimir Putin, also skipped both summits.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo explained that China's metal was simply dirtier than Europe’s, in terms of the carbon dioxide emissions involved in producing it, and that the “lack of environmental standards is part of what drives down their costs.
China’s version is called “One Belt, One Road,” and in implementing it over the last decade, Beijing is believed to have spent over a trillion dollars building ports, roads, airports and power plants across Africa, Latin America and Asia. The U.S. has long argued that China’s help comes with serious strings attached, a charge Beijing denies.
“It gives me great pleasure to attend the World Leaders Summit and discuss ways to address the climate challenge,” Xi said of the 26th Conference of the Parties, which he did not, in fact, attend. “President Xi Jinping's written statement to COP-26 demonstrates China's firm position to actively promote international cooperation on climate change and protect the planet we all call home and its sense of responsibility as a major country," he said, adding that a video conference option was not offered to them by organizers.
