Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi delivered a powerful call for international solidarity to tackle climate change during a high-profile meeting in Xiamen on Wednesday. Speaking at the third China-Pacific Island Countries Foreign Ministers' Meeting, Wang stressed that humanity must 'rise above differences' to address the planet’s most pressing challenge. 🌱
While not naming specific nations, Wang expressed disappointment over 'certain major countries' abandoning the Paris Agreement—a clear nod to recent global tensions. He reaffirmed China’s role as a climate action leader, stating: 'Our commitment to green development and multilateral cooperation remains unshakable.' 💪
The meeting highlighted China’s growing partnerships with Pacific Island states, which face existential threats from rising sea levels. Wang’s remarks align with Beijing’s push for sustainable tech investments and South-South climate cooperation. 🌊
As Gen Z activists demand faster action, Wang’s message resonates: 'Climate change isn’t a solo mission—it’s humanity’s group project.' 📈✨
