BEIJING (Global Times): The global media spotlight will be fixed Thursday (April 22) on the leaders' climate summit, hosted by the US government via video link.
This will be the first meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden since Biden took office in January.
While Xi's confirmed attendance unleashes "a goodwill gesture" for the US-China relationship which currently faces growing challenges, Chinese experts warned that it would also be a big test for the Biden administration, casting doubts over its role as a global leader on climate change and questioning its true intention.
