The world's two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases are sparring on Twitter over climate policy, with China questioning whether the U.S. can deliver on the landmark climate legislation signed into law by President Biden Tuesday.
"You can bet America will meet our commitments," U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns tweeted in response on Wednesday, using a national flag emoticon for"America." He called on China to resume suspended climate talks, writing:"We're ready."
On Tuesday night, China's Foreign Ministry responded with its own tweet:"Good to hear. But what matters is: Can the U.S. deliver?" The ministry later tweeted some of his answer, and Burns responded four days later with his tweet on the U.S. climate bill. Using the acronym for the People's Republic of China, he ended with:"The PRC should follow+reconsider its suspension of climate cooperation with the U.S."
The decision by former President Donald Trump to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord - reversed by Mr. Biden after he took office last year - dealt a blow to American credibility on the issue.
