The United States special envoy for climate change, John Kerry, had a four-hour meeting today in Beijing with his Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua: state television CCTV announced it. The meeting marks the resumption of dialogue on climate change between the two countries after the suspension of talks by China last August. The details of the topics addressed were not disclosed. John Kerry, US President Joe Biden's special climate envoy, has arrived in Beijing. This was reported by Chinese state media. Kerry will remain in the Chinese capital until Wednesday and will meet his counterpart Xie Zhenhua. The goal of the visit - the third to China for the senior US official since he took office - is to resume dialogue on the climate, after Beijing suspended discussions on this issue last August to protest against the trip to Taiwan by Nancy Pelosi, then Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
