HELSINKI, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- China is increasingly becoming a pivotal force in global climate governance as the United States retreats and Europe adjusts its approach, Finland's Helsingin Sanomat (HS) said in an editorial on Tuesday.
Titled "China is emerging as a key player in climate policy," the editorial noted that the United States is absent from the ongoing 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Belem, Brazil. HS said U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is even suspected of seeking to disrupt international climate cooperation, citing Washington's recent veto at the International Maritime Organization against a global emissions-reduction plan for shipping.
