The Associated Press reports, however, that the agreement does not bind either China or California to specific greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.
Brown met for 45 minutes with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The AP reports that “Trump’s announcement last week that he wants to pull out of the Paris accord did not come up, according to the governor.”
Brown’s China visit was not the first time that he has attempted to lead on the world stage. In late 2015, he traveled to Paris — in the immediate aftermath of the San Bernardino terror attack — to participate in the global discussions around the climate change accords that eventually emerged — and which President Trump subsequently rejected.
The governor has also championed California’s role in the “Under2” coalition, a grouping of subnational jurisdictions (such as states and provinces) that have committed to address climate change.

So glad I left cali years ago.
Are the States allowed to enter in to “agreements, treaties, etc” with a foreign power?
China said , “here sign this blank paper,it’ll be OK “
Aid and comfort to the Chi-coms to make President Trump look bad in foreign press.
I wonder who Xi Jinping will take more seriously. Trump or Moonbeam?
He just needed an excuse to write off the lunch.
“Here, sign this napkin saying we talked about climate stuff.”
China believes, whether rightly or wrongly, the USA is the ultimate meddler in the political affairs of other nations. They really LOVE been able to meddle right back - that is their only purpose in this.
And Jerry Brown is a willing dupe.
Phase one of making California and Chinese province complete with communist control? California is already that in deed if not word
California signed up to be a Province in China
Oh, look ... lefties DO like states rights when it goes against a Republican president.
Must be part of their secession move.
Symbolic meaningless nonsense.
The entire “treaty” is symbolic meaningless nonsense except for the paying of money by the USA, which thankfully isn’t going to happen thanks to Trump.
California can pay that money to the other countries if it likes.
China rejected the offer because California is too anti-capitalist for their 100 year plan.
No, they are absolutely not.
Was the Logan Act repealed?
You have overstepped your importance once again...
California, you better remove these people or you will be gone forever...you have Di-Fi; piglosi; Maxi Waters; Moonbeam, and how many illegal aliens???
Time to clean house wouldn't you say???
Then, all this is, is political masturbation.
As a new signatory of the Paris Accord how much money is California going to send China to help build their coal plants? Governor Moonbeam can also advise the Chinese on balancing the ecology, why minnows are more important than crops and building dams and reservoirs is just a waste of money.
Someone told us yesterday that State income taxes in CA were going to rise 32% so that everyone could have access to “zero cost healthcare”. Can’t verify but source seemed credible.
