“By the end of this month, the Chinese side will submit to the UN secretariat on climate change our intended nationally determined contribution,“ Li told a press conference after a summit in Brussels with EU leaders Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker.

There has been speculation that the announcement would be made during Li’s visit this week to Brussels and Paris, where December’s climate talks will be held.
