A key politician is Watch Kill Bill: Vol. 1 Onlinemissing from a new clean energy partnership between the United States and China: President Donald Trump.
The agreement instead involves Chinese President Xi Jinping and California Gov. Jerry Brown, who has vowed to lead America's fight against climate change following Trump's decision to pull the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement.
Brown, along with a dozen U.S. governors and hundreds of mayors and companies, has pledged to slash his state's greenhouse gas emissions and uphold America's commitment to the landmark treaty, even in the absence of federal support.

Tech giants join massive effort to uphold Paris AgreementChina, meanwhile, has stood by the Paris agreement and its commitment to peak the country's carbon emissions by 2030 while boosting use of non-fossil fuel-based energy to 20 percent of China's energy consumption. The country has separately said it would close more than 100 coal-fired power plants and invest around $361 billion in clean energy projects by 2020.

China and the U.S. are the world's first- and second-largest emitters of carbon dioxide, respectively.
"We're on the field ready for battle. While the president may be AWOL in the battle against the climate, we're not," Brown told reporters on June 1, about an hour after Trump announced his decision from the White House Rose Garden.
On Tuesday, Brown met with Xi in Beijing to discuss "the importance of expanding cooperation of green technology, innovation, and trade," the governor's office said.
While largely symbolic, it's a rare move for a state official to meet with a national leader. The 45-minute meeting may serve to elevate California and Brown as a top U.S. climate change negotiator with China while the Trump administration forfeits leadership in this arena.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry is also in Beijing this week for a forum of global energy ministers, but there's no indication he will meet with Xi. Last week, he told reporters he welcomes China taking "the mantle of leadership on the climate" after the U.S. said it would pull out of the accord.
"I hope China will step in and attempt to take the mantle away. It would be a good challenge for them," he said in Tokyo, en route to the Beijing meeting.
California has worked with China on environmental issues for years, including on initiatives to roll out zero-emissions vehicles and curb toxic air pollution. Chinese officials recently turned to the Golden State for guidance with its carbon emissions trading scheme, which is slated to launch later this year.

The new agreement will expand China and California's efforts to advance clean energy technologies such as electric cars, energy storage systems, and energy-efficient buildings. The two entities will also deepen their partnerships on emissions trading systems and carbon capture technologies, the governor's office said.
China's president "has definitely given the green light for more collaboration between China and California, and I would say, other states through this subnational-level arrangement," Brown told the Los Angeles Times after the meeting.
