Gavin Newsom sat down with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday to discuss collaboration on addressing climate change amid fragile relations between the United States and China. Newsom is the first governor in four years to visit China and the first California governor to meet with Xi since 2017. The only way we can solve the climate crisis is to continue our long-standing cooperation with China," Newsom said in a statement. The United States as a whole has pledged to zero out its emissions by 2050. In July, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry visited China to revive climate collaboration between the two countries.
