China hopes the United States will be able to continue to cooperate with other countries on climate change, whatever the outcome of the presidential election next week, a senior government official said, Reuters reports.

Cooperation between China and the United States, the world’s top two emitters of climate warming greenhouse gases, has helped seal major climate deals, including the 2015 Paris Agreement.

But the re-election of former President Donald Trump could end bilateral climate engagement between the two sides, with Trump likely to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement for a second time.

“We expect the US can maintain the stability and consistency of its climate policy, and we hope it can continue to work with other countries globally,” said Xia Yingxian, director general of the climate office at China’s environment ministry, during a briefing.
