US President Joe Biden has accused China for failing to show leadership on climate change by criticising the leaders for not attending the COP26 summit in Glasgow.
Speaking at the UN summit, Mr Biden has aimed to forge a new climate agreement and left to question China on what value they are providing on the issue.
With China currently the world’s largest producer of carbon emissions responsible for climate change, Xi Jinping has not travelled outside of china since early 2020 at the start of the pandemic.
Mr Biden has ramped up US climate action with promises to zero out carbon emissions by 2050.
