China reaffirms commitment to global cooperation after US exits key agreements

China has reaffirmed its commitment to global cooperation after the U.S. announced its exit from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement. This marks a shift in leadership dynamics, with China positioning itself as a key player in addressing global challenges. Chinese officials emphasized the importance of the WHO in global health governance and pledged to support international efforts in public health. They also expressed concern over climate change and committed to working with the global community on low-carbon initiatives. This is the second time the U.S. has withdrawn from the WHO under Trump, who criticized the organization's funding structure. The U.S. previously exited the Paris Agreement in 2020, a decision reversed by President Biden shortly after.
