Friday’s virtual meeting on #climate change between Chinese President Xi Jinping, French President @EmmanuelMacron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel is a good sign not only for the human endeavor of saving our planet, but also for China-EU relations. #ClimateAction 
Europe has remained a champion for the Paris Climate Accord during the past few years when former U.S. President #DonaldTrump exited the deal. #China made the solemn pledge of having CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieving #carbon neutrality before 2060. #ParisAgreement
China and EU being major stakeholders for tackling climate change, collaboration of the Chinese, German and French leadership will be instrumental in materializing what’s written in the Paris Climate Accord. #ParisAgreement #ClimateCrisis
Plus, China-EU relations suffered setbacks last month over #Xinjiang . Friday’s meeting seems to be an effort of the EU to move away from American influence on EU’s China policy and realize the “strategic autonomy” @EmmanuelMacron and other EU leaders have been stressing.
The meeting could well serve as a starting point for EU and #China to improve ties and work on urgent international issues such as #vaccines , Iran nuclear issue, among others.
