What is the primary significance of China's role in global climate action, as assessed by Kyung-wha Kang?

Kyung-wha Kang, president of the Asia Society, lauded China's substantial contributions to climate change mitigation, highlighting its investments in clean energy and commitment to the Paris Agreement goals. China's clean energy sector contributed over 10 percent to its economic growth in 2024, generating $1.9 trillion in sales and investments, according to Carbon Brief. This contrasts with the United States' repeated withdrawal from the agreement, diminishing its previous leadership role.
