China doesn’t want to lead alone on climate policies, senior adviser warns

  • This stance reflects China's desire for collaborative global efforts in addressing climate change, rather than shouldering the burden alone.
  • The situation underscores a broader tension within international climate policy, as countries like Denmark set ambitious targets while others, particularly in the EU, face criticism for inadequate action.
