President Joe Biden’s climate envoy John Kerry criticized Biden’s description of Chinese President Xi Jinping as a „dictator“ during congressional testimony on Thursday, saying the Biden administration shouldn’t get „tangled up in labels and names.“
Kerry’s comments come ahead of his visit to Beijing next week to discuss climate change issues. The former secretary of state who now serves as the first ever special presidential envoy for climate also told Congress that China’s human rights violations shouldn’t be „showstoppers“ that hinder climate negotiations.
