Isn’t it fascinating when we’re given a peek behind the curtain to witness the world’s largest polluter abandoning the Paris Agreement? All the while, the United States and other western nations are crippling their economies and burdening their citizens with unnecessary costs in the pursuit of combating climate change.

As Diana Furchtgott-Roth reports, China’s President Xi Jinping has reiterated his stance that China will not be swayed by outside factors in determining its own approach to emissions. This announcement was made, rather ironically, while former secretary of state John Kerry was visiting Beijing in hopes of rekindling dialogue on climate change.

Xi’s message was, according to Furchtgott-Roth,

“a deliberate slap in the face to America”
