Basically, they're using this as an excuse to stop trying to improve their emissions standards.

China is halting co-operation with the US in several key areas including climate change, military talks and efforts to combat international crime.

The new measures follow a trip to Taiwan by a US congressional delegation led by senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi.

The measures were announced by China's foreign ministry on Friday. It said dialogue between US and Chinese defence officials would be cancelled, while co-operation on returning illegal immigrants, climate change, and investigating international crime would be suspended.

China's "shared future for mankind" messaging on climate change is similarly put on ice, now seemingly held hostage to the precondition that its claims to Taiwan be recognised.

As if they were actually doing anything to combat climate change to begin with. They are the worst country in terms of this.

Evacuate Taiwan's people and industrial assets immediately, and then just let China have the fucking island if they want it so damn bad.

So they're 'no longer' going to do the thing they weren't actually doing.
