Trump's withdrawal from WHO and Paris Agreement raises questions about China's role in global health and climate initiatives

Former President Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization and the Paris Agreement, citing concerns over China's pollution and the WHO's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Analysts suggest that while China may take a lead in climate initiatives, its influence in global public health governance through the WHO will be limited. China's foreign ministry expressed concern over the U.S. decision on the Paris Agreement, stating that it will continue to address climate change and promote a low-carbon transition.
