BEIJING - China said on Wednesday that a condition for the resumption of bilateral climate talks with the United States was Washington dispelling the"negative influence" left by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan earlier this month.
US Special Envoy on Climate Change John Kerry, who earlier this month said the suspension of bilateral climate talks punished the entire world, urged Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday, in an interview with the Financial Times, to resume the discussions. China, which claims the self-ruled island of Taiwan as its own territory, responded to Mr Kerry's remarks on Wednesday by stating that the resumption of climate talks with the US was dependent on actions taken by Washington to address the"negative influence" of Mrs Pelosi's Taiwan visit.
The statement also said China would continue to actively participate in international forums on climate change.
