well they've signed all this stuff since china quit , but yeah thats the issue we need agreement from everyone and people will end up playing people off against others and we probably wont get much cooperation ... just look at the way the worlds going 😞

hopefully things will calm down and they can work together more...probably favours both economies to be at forefront of new green/renewable technologies..thing is it helps both sides politically to look like being tough on the other..
