►►With its rapid development and growing international influence, China has been increasingly engaging in global affairs, offering Chinese solutions to global challenges such as poverty and climate change in both concept and action, said a Xinhua think tank report released on Tuesday.

It added that China had established the world’s largest carbon market. The country’s installed capacity for hydropower, wind power, solar power and biomass power generation is the highest in the world, and its production of new energy vehicles has topped the world for 10 consecutive years.
