China's ambassador to the United States Xie Feng rejected U.S. allegation of Chinese overcapacity and dumping on Saturday, calling for cooperation to find solutions to the global fight against climate change.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of this year's Harvard Kennedy School China Conference, Xie said global green capacity is in dire scarcity, and the real problem is not "overcapacity," but "over-anxiety."
He pointed out that calling for stronger climate response on the one hand and erecting green trade barriers on the other hand would only raise the costs for one's own low carbon transition and also slow down the global development of clean energy.
Xie said global public goods offered by China, including the Belt and Road Initiative, are open to all sides.
He also said China is willing to coordinate with the United States and jointly explore third-party market cooperation.

China's problem not overcapacity, but over-anxiety from abroad: Chinese ambassador
A French student from the School of Chinese Language and Literature at Beijing Foreign Studies University recently called for more educational exchanges between the two countries.
During an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN), Bouaoud Elies shared his experience living and studying in China.
After graduating from the business school at Beijing Foreign Studies University, Elies decided to stay in the country. He said he continues to study Chinese to improve his competitiveness and explore the huge trade opportunities between the two countries.
"I mean I love it here. I don't want to go back to France. I would like to become the bridge between France and China. So, if I can do this, thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative, the Silk Road, now the relations between France and China are very good. So, I think a lot of things will happen," he said.
Elies also said he hopes that more French students could visit China and develop a better understanding of the country.
France was the first major western country to establish full diplomatic ties with China, and the history of educational exchanges can be traced back more than a century and a half when China sent its students to France to study maritime affairs.
Since then, exchanges have deepened considerably.
"In China, we have established 14 French training centers. In France, we have established 19 Confucius Institutes. These institutions serve as bridges for mutual understanding and trust between the youth and people of the two countries, enhancing language and cultural connections," said Yang Dan, Director General of the Department of International Cooperation and Exchanges under the Ministry of Education.
