If John Kerry has a defining theme to his career, it’s pandering to totalitarian leftist dictatorships and then getting left holding the bag with that usual stupefied expression on his equine features. Everyone from the Viet Cong to the Sandinistas have pulled the trick on Kerry, Communist China is only a little late to the party.

Even within an appeaser administration whose ruling family has questionable ties to Beijing, Kerry was consistently the loudest voice urging Biden and Congress to disregard China’s atrocities and to believe that without the PRC’s cooperation, the planet will go kaboom. Now, dispatched to China as part of Biden’s apology for shooting down a Chinese spy balloon, Kerry was supposed to hammer home his theme that we all had to pull together against the common enemy of… the weather. How did it go with Xi?

Here’s Kerry, here’s the bag.

China will follow its own path to cut carbon emissions, leader Xi Jinping vowed Tuesday, as US climate envoy John Kerry called for faster action to confront the climate crisis in a high-profile visit to Beijing.

“But the path, method, pace and intensity to achieve this goal should and must be determined by ourselves, and will never be influenced by others,” he said.

The comments came as Kerry met China’s Premier Li Qiang and top diplomat Wang Yi Tuesday, with Washington and Beijing – the world’s two largest polluters – resuming their long-stalled climate talks amid scorching heat waves across much of the globe.

In the meeting with Li, Kerry stressed the “need for China to decarbonize the power sector, cut methane emissions, and reduce deforestation,” a spokesperson for the US State Department said in a statement.

He also urged China to “take additional steps to enhance its climate ambition in order to avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis.”
Xi thumbed his nose at Biden and Kerry despite their loyal service. Or maybe because of it. No one has any respect for traitors and sycophants.

Xi Jinping is offering nothing except the opportunity for us to buy junk solar panels. And he knows Kerry will crawl on his hands and knees to make the case for its slave labor solar panels no matter what he does to him.
