Han Zheng spoke at the United Nations General Assembly regarding climate commitments. The reports detail that in 2021, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged to stop funding overseas coal power plants to help curb climate change.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Despite the cancellations, experts warn that Chinese companies are reportedly using regulatory loopholes to continue investing in overseas coal projects. As a leader in electric vehicle, solar panel, and wind turbine manufacturing, China's commitment influences the global energy transition.

The pledges were made during the UN General Assembly, which serves as the legislative body of the United Nations.
