With the U.S. absent from two major international summits this month, the G20 in South Africa and the COP30 in Brazil, we got an early look at what the post-American order is starting to look like. In both instances, China moved to fill the void left by the U.S., taking on a much more prominent role. Anika Patel, China analyst at the non-profit climate news site Carbon Brief, reported extensively from COP30 and noted a key difference in Beijing's messaging at the different summits in Johannesburg and Belém. In South Africa, Chinese Premier Li Qiang sought to position Beijing as an emergent global norm-setter, whereas in Brazil, the Chinese delegation explicitly rejected a leadership role. Anika joins Eric & Cobus to discuss China's complicated position at the COP30 summit and why, even though it's the world's leader in climate energy and technology, the country explicitly doesn't want the designation "climate leader."

His remarks were a stark contrast from those delivered by Chinese Premier Li Qiang. Li hailed the UN as the world's "most universal, representative, and authoritative intergovernmental organization and plays an irreplaceable, key role in global governance." Given the sea of differences between the two major countries in their views and visions, how can we move forward in an inclusive and cooperative manner? What can members do to revitalize the UN to make sure it can still fulfill its purpose 80 years after its founding?

Chinese Premier Li Qiang says China will always work with the United States to jointly promote the stabilization and improvement of bilateral economic and trade ties on the basis of equality, respect and mutual benefit.

The relationship between China and the United States is one of the most consequential bilateral dynamics in the world, making it imperative for both sides to maintain open lines of communication.中美关系是全球最重要的双边关系之一，因此双方保持开放的沟通渠道至关重要。Multidimensional, in-depth, and high-level engagements can help both countries manage their differences and expand mutually beneficial cooperation, benefiting not only themselves but also the wider world.多维度、深层次、高水平的交往有助于两国管控分歧、扩大互利合作，这不仅造福中美两国，也惠及更广泛的世界。It is therefore a welcome development that despite the tensions that have flared up between them, there has been a renewed momentum of high-level dialogue between the two countries in areas such as trade, diplomacy and defense recently. This communication is crucial for deepening understanding, managing differences, expanding cooperation, and enhancing mutual interests.因此，尽管中美之间不时出现紧张局势，但近期两国在贸易、外交、国防等领域重燃高层对话势头，这一进展值得欢迎。此类沟通对于深化理解、管控分歧、扩大合作、增进共同利益具有关键意义。It also helps create a positive atmosphere for their trade negotiations.这也为两国贸易谈判营造了积极氛围。That a group of US lawmakers are visiting China — a rare occurrence for members of the US Congress — has therefore attracted significant attention.一群美国议员访华（这对美国国会议员而言较为罕见），因此引发了广泛关注。Led by Representative Adam Smith, a Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, this visit, which began Sunday, marks the first by members of the US House of Representatives to China since 2019.此次访问于周日启动，由美国众议院军事委员会民主党议员亚当·史密斯带队，是2019年以来美国众议院议员首次访华。Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi described the visit as an "ice-breaking journey" after his meeting with the US delegation on Tuesday, noting that the delegation represents the voices of both US political parties and reflects the American people's expectations for China-US relations.中国外交部长王毅周二在会见美国代表团后，将此次访问称为“破冰之旅”，并指出该代表团代表了美国两党的声音，也反映了美国人民对中美关系的期待。By directly engaging with senior Chinese officials — the delegation has also met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, Chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee Zhao Leji, Vice-Premier He Lifeng and Defense Minister Dong Jun — the visiting US lawmakers can hopefully help promote extended communication between Washington and Beijing, which is essential for mitigating misunderstandings and fostering mutual respect and cooperation.通过与中国高层官员直接交流（代表团还会见了中国国务院总理李强、全国人大常委会委员长赵乐际、国务院副总理何立峰及国防部长董军），来访的美国议员有望推动美中之间的深入沟通，而这种沟通对于减少误解、促进相互尊重与合作至关重要。Notably, the visit follows the recent telephone talks between President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump, which set the tone and direction for the relations between the two countries. Following up on this irreplaceable heads-of-state diplomacy is essential to keeping China-US relations stabilized.值得注意的是，此次访问是在习近平主席与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普近期通话之后进行的，两国元首通话为中美关系定下了基调、指明了方向。落实这一不可替代的元首外交成果，是维护中美关系稳定的关键。A key objective of the US congressional delegation's visit is to strengthen military communication, a goal supported by both sides.美国国会代表团此次访华的一个重要目标是加强军事沟通，这一目标得到了双方支持。Defense Minister Dong said, as two major countries with global influence, China and the US should uphold the bottom line of no conflict and no confrontation. In particular, he called for correcting strategic cognition in military strategy to prevent misunderstandings and miscalculations, thereby avoiding serious challenges to bilateral ties and global stability.董军部长表示，中美作为具有全球影响力的两个大国，应坚守不冲突、不对抗的底线。他特别呼吁在军事战略层面纠正战略认知，防止误解误判，进而避免给双边关系和全球稳定带来严重挑战。Tensions in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait have increased in recent years, primarily due to the efforts of the US and its allies to contain China. The Pentagon should recognize that the Chinese People's Liberation Army, while resolved to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, seeks stable and positive military ties. Dong urged the US lawmakers to "eliminate interfering and restrictive factors and adopt constructive and pragmatic measures" to improve military-to-military relations and bilateral ties.近年来，南海和台海局势紧张升级，这主要是由于美国及其盟友推行遏制中国的举措所致。美国国防部应认识到，中国人民解放军在坚决维护国家主权、安全和发展利益的同时，致力于推动稳定、积极的军事关系。董军部长敦促美国议员“消除干扰限制因素，采取建设性、务实举措”，以改善两军关系和双边关系。For bilateral ties to proceed smoothly, there must be a consensus that China and the US are partners, not rivals or enemies. The two nations are fully capable of helping each other succeed and prosper together for their own good and for the world.中美关系要顺利发展，必须达成一个共识：中美是伙伴，而非对手或敌人。为了两国自身利益和世界福祉，中美完全有能力相互成就、共同繁荣。During his meeting with the House of Representatives delegation, Foreign Minister Wang expressed the hope that the visit will help the US side understand China accurately.在会见众议院代表团时，王毅外长表示，希望此次访问能帮助美方准确了解中国。He rightly urged the US to view China objectively, approach differences rationally, engage in friendly interactions, and actively explore new areas of cooperation so as to realize sustainable China-US relations that are stable and sound.他合理敦促美方客观看待中国，理性处理分歧，开展友好互动，积极探索新的合作领域，推动中美关系实现稳定、健康、可持续发展。Doing so would be conducive to enabling the two countries to achieve mutual success and shared prosperity. For that, the US needs to work hand in hand with China in the same direction so as to achieve win-win outcomes. They should make joint efforts with mutual respect to empower each other to achieve success, becoming partners for common development.此举将有助于中美两国实现相互成就、共同繁荣。为此，美方需与中方相向而行、携手合作，以实现共赢。双方应在相互尊重基础上共同努力，相互赋能成就彼此，成为共同发展的伙伴。US congressional delegation (led by Adam Smith)n.美国国会代表团（由亚当·史密斯带队） /ˌjuː ˈes kənˈɡreʃənl ˌdelɪˈɡeɪʃn (led baɪ ˈædəm smɪθ)/China-US military communicationn.中美军事沟通/ˌtʃaɪnə ˌjuː ˈes ˈmɪlətri kəˌmjuːnɪˈkeɪʃn/
