Chinese negotiators vowed not to waver despite doubts over US position after election of Trump

Top Chinese climate officials have pledged to negotiate the implementation of the historic United Nations Paris climate agreement based on a consensus at the Marrakech Climate Change Conference taking place in Morocco.

They also brushed aside concerns about Tuesday's election of Donald Trump as the next US president - Trump has called climate change science a "hoax" and pledged to renegotiate last year's landmark Paris accords.
