The Biden administration has sold its key policies on climate change with a singular premise — that the U.S. needs to “outcompete China.” This has sparked long overdue investments at home, but zero-sum competition — where each side measures success by their position relative to the other — holds potentially disastrous consequences for the climate.  The planned resumption of dialogues on climate between the two countries following the first in-person meeting between Presidents Biden and Xi this week is a positive sign. And with both sides eliciting an open embrace of industrial policy, leaders in Washington may find elusive common ground with Beijing to move forward on climate issues.  A new model for U.S.-China engagement on climate should look to facilitate a more enlightened form of competition in low-carbon technologies. Both sides' priority should be to minimize the material harm caused by tariffs and other bilateral tensions on emissions reduction efforts
