Gavin Newsom Commits California to ‘Cooperate’ with China on Climate Crisis

Chinese state media on Sunday praised California Governor Gavin Newsom for a climate change agreement between his state and the city of Shanghai, signed during Newsom’s visit to China. “Chinese experts” applauded the potential for “cooperation” between the U.S. and China – on Communist China’s terms, of course – demonstrated by Newsom’s visit.
