"There is an "international responsibility" to fight climate change, China's Premier Li Keqiang has said."
"While he did not mention the US or Donald Trump, Mr Li's comments were clearly addressed to Washington."
"The Chinese Premier was meeting with senior European Union officials at a summit in Brussels.
The European Union and China plan to issue a joint statement – the first time this has happened – committing to full implementation of the Paris Agreement.
It commits them to cutting back on fossil fuels, developing more green technology and helping raise billions of pounds to help poorer countries cut emissions.
"The EU and China consider climate action and the clean energy transition an imperative more important than ever," the statement, by European Council President Donald Tusk, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and China's Li, will say.
"The increasing impacts of climate change require a decisive response."
And Miguel Arias Canete, the European commissioner who has led climate talks with Beijing, said of the Paris accord: "No one should be left behind, but the EU and China have decided to move forward."
