China Halts Climate Change Cooperation With America

The Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement that the suspensions were among eight specific measures against the US that Beijing was adopting.

Dialogue between area commanders and defence department heads would be cancelled, along with talks on military maritime safety, the foreign ministry said. Cooperation on returning illegal immigrants, criminal investigations, transnational crime and illegal drugs would also be suspended, it said.

The measures are the latest in a series of steps that China is taking to punish Washington after US House of Representatives speaker Ms Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its own territory. China is also continuing with the unprecedented military exercises in six zones surrounding Taiwan that began on Thursday morning, which have led to disruption of trade routes and international flights as Taipei looks for alternate options.
