China ends cooperation with U.S. on climate change and anti-drug efforts amid spat

Beijing – China said Friday it was ending cooperation with the United States on a litany of key issues including climate change, anti-drug efforts and military talks, as relations between the two superpowers nosedive over the island of Taiwan.

Beijing has reacted furiously to a visit by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the island, which it claims as its territory and has vowed to retake, by force if necessary.
