Washington's deeds need to match its words

In a Saturday interview with MSNBC, John Kerry, United States President Joe Biden's special envoy for climate change, again emphasized the need for climate cooperation with China.

For all the tensions between the two countries, the US must collaborate with China so as to fulfill global climate goals, said the former US secretary of state.

In the interview, Kerry highlighted the recent China-US consensus that climate change is a global, rather than bilateral, issue that should be treated separately from other bilateral concerns. The two countries "must find a way" to work together on the impending global crisis, according to Kerry.
