Li Shuo, director of the China Climate Center of the Asian Association Policy Research Institute, judged in an interview that the China -US climate dialogue returned to the level before the high -level interaction between the two sides fell into the level, but did not achieve a huge breakthrough.The effect that the statement can produce is relatively limited, and the role that can be played by the working group also needs to be observed; its greatest value is to stabilize the cooperative relationship between China and the United States and ensure that the two parties maintain communication.
Some opinion believes that the climate statement of the two countries has not been called the "joint statement" as before, but based on the "Hometown of Sunshine", which may be shown in the background of the slow progress of climate cooperation between the two countries.Both sides are more cautious to avoid making high -level commitments on the results of climate cooperation.
Luo Minghui believes that the statement is essentially a joint statement, and there is no need to over -interpret the name.However, he pointed out that there is a deep difference in climate change issues in the United States. Whether the United States can implement the Sino -US climate cooperation after the government's transition will be China's long -term concerns.
