Welcome to The Point, an opinion show coming to you from Beijing.

Climate.
At a crossroads, the UN Climate Change Conference, or COP30, kicks off on Monday in Belém, Brazil.
This milestone event marks three decades of the United Nations climate negotiations and the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement,
highlighting a pivotal moment for global climate action.
At this critical juncture, China has released a white paper to share its approaches,
actions and experience in addressing climate change.
Yet,
with the US government absent from the conference and Europe's resolve showing signs of wavering,
the road ahead remains full of challenges.
Ten years on from Paris, how well have the goals of that agreement been met or even implemented?
What obstacles and bottlenecks does global climate governance still face?
And what are China's key positions and actions in the global fight against climate change?
