Xie, one of 皇冠体育app's leading negotiators for climate change talks, made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature.

On the climate change issue, the Obama administration has been more active than previous administrations, but it needs to do more on taking the lead in cutting emissions, providing financial supports and technology transfers, he said.

"We know that there are disputes and difficulties within the US on legislation, but we hope these, along with the US unwillingness to take more responsibilities, should not be shifted to other countries," Xie said.

"We would like to enhance cooperation with the US to deal with climate change," he said.
