France says it has common ground with China on environment

France says it has common ground with China on environment (Photo: AFP) France and China have found "points of convergence" on the environment, french minister for ecological transition Agnes Pannier-Runacher said Friday at the end of a visit to Beijing. Her trip came ahead of the UN Ocean Conference (UNOC), which is due to start in Nice on June 9, and the COP30 climate summit in Brazil in November. After the United States again withdrew from the landmark Paris climate agreement once President Donald Trump returned to office in January, France has advocated for the European Union and China to form a united front on environment and climate. "Points of convergence were clearly felt," Pannier-Runacher told AFP after holding meetings with multiple Chinese officials, including environment minister Huang Runqiu and natural resources minister Guan Zhi'ou. "Commitment to the Paris Agreement " and "multilateralism" were two such points, she said. Pannier-Runacher said she was hoping for a joint-statement ahead of the COP30 summit to help give momentum to negotiations. "At a time when science is doubted by some, when the impact of climate deregulation on our lives is contested (...) it is important for the European Union and China to assume their responsibilities," she said. Huang told Pannier-Runacher that China would "keep observing the objectives set by the Paris accord and work with all parties to promote positive results" at the COP30 summit, a statement issued by his ministry said. China is the world's top emitter of greenhouse gases, but has embraced renewable energy sources, electric vehicles and is working to reduce carbon emissions. It plans to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2060, and some analysts have speculated that slowing growth and rapid renewable installations mean emissions have already levelled off. Emissions indeed fell in the first quarter of 2025, an independent think tank said earlier this month. Pannier-Runacher hailed China's "dynamism," saying all could learn from its "quickness" on adopting renewable energy technologies . The french minister also said China was a leader in those technologies, and expressed hope it would invest in France and other European countries to create jobs.

While Taiwan considers itself a sovereign nation, China has said it will not rule out using force to bring it under its control. as per a report."The US should not try to use the Taiwan issue as a bargaining chip to contain China and must not play with fire," the foreign ministry said in a statement, adding it had "lodged solemn representations with the US side" over Hegseth's comments, AFP Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned on Saturday that China's military was "rehearsing for the real deal" as it prepares for a potential invasion of Taiwan. "It's public that Xi has ordered his military to be capable of invading Taiwan by 2027. The PLA is building the military to do it, training for it every day, and rehearsing for the real deal," the Pentagon chief said in Singapore, referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping and the People's Liberation Army, as per AFP China has also hit back at French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday for drawing a connection between the Ukraine conflict and the fate of Taiwan, saying the two issues are "different in nature, and not comparable at all", AFP reported."Comparing the Taiwan question with the Ukraine issue is unacceptable," China's embassy in Singapore said on social media, a day after Macron warned Asian defence officials in Singapore not to view Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a far-away problem."If we consider that Russia could be allowed to take a part of the territory of Ukraine without any restriction, without any constraint, without any reaction of the global order, how would you phrase what could happen in Taiwan?" Macron told the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's premier annual security embassy fired back that the "Taiwan question is entirely China's internal affair. There is but one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory."A1. US Defense Secretary is Pete Hegseth.A2. President of France is Emmanuel Macron.
