John Kerry has been dispatched to China in an attempt to bring the country on-side ahead of a US-led climate summit.
Mr Kerry, a former secretary of state and now Joe Biden’s climate envoy, will hold talks in Shanghai in what is thought to be the highest-level contact the new administration has yet had with China.
He is expected to meet with his host’s top climate negotiator, fellow veteran diplomat Xie Zhenhua, as Washington attempts to persuade Beijing to move away from heavy use of coal and other polluting sources of energy. The American has previously called Mr Xie “a capable advocate” for the planet.
The US and China are the world’s two biggest emitters of carbon dioxide, though the latter nation contributes more fumes from burning petroleum and coal, making its cooperation essential to any success of global climate accords.
Mr Kerry told CNN: “We have big disagreements with China on some key issues, absolutely. But climate has to stand alone.”

The Biden administration’s Earth Day virtual summit is due to take place on 22 and 23 April, with some 40 world leaders invited including Mr Xi and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
Herman Munster meets the Chinaman. Too funny.
I’m betting my money that long face will be gone centuries before this planet is history.

Hey Kerry, how much carbon pollution was recently entered into the atmosphere by those volcanoes in Iceland and the Caribbean?
And what are you going to do about them?
John Kerry visits China...
Any chance we can get the Chinese to keep him? Big plus for us.
(only 9.77 years left)...
I’m planning a big-ass party that night.
Big-ass.
We will party...Bigly.
Is Kerry the only guy on the planet that trusts the Chicoms?
They must have gut splitting laughs after meetings with him.
What image is Kerry going to present to the rest of the world except to make us all appear as idiots? What a choice to represent the U.S.; especially for a non-existent problem like “global warming” or whatever it might be referred to at the present!
