China leads climate diplomacy despite being largest emitter

China remains the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases but is emerging as a leader in climate diplomacy. At a recent meeting in Wuhan, nearly 30 countries discussed global climate negotiations ahead of COP29. China's renewable energy capacity has surged, with wind and solar growing significantly. In 2023, China sold over 7 million electric vehicles domestically and exported 1.2 million, reflecting its commitment to a low-carbon economy.
