California Gov. Gavin Newsom met with China's leader, Xi Jinping, in Beijing on Wednesday as part of an ambitious weeklong mission to negotiate climate partnerships
The two-term Democratic governor wants California to set an aggressive pace for the United States -- and the world -- to cut carbon emissions that are dangerously heating the planet. Newsom's moves to tackle the climate crisis have elevated his national profile, just as he is widely believed to be preparing for a White House run in 2028.
Xi also"happily recalled his visit to California," according to the official summary, potentially referring to a summit with President Barack Obama at the Sunnylands estate in Rancho Mirage, California, in 2013. In a conversation with Wang on Wednesday, Newsom invoked San Francisco and Shanghai's decadeslong relationship as"sister cities," adding that he hoped to deepen connections between California and China."I'm here in expectation, as you suggest, of turning the page, of renewing our friendship and reengaging on foundational and fundamental issues that will determine our collective faith in the future," he said.
