China will "steadfastly" implement the Paris climate pact, Premier Li Keqiang said today, urging others to do likewise as US President Donald Trump was due to announce whether he will keep Washington in the deal.

China has been investing billions in clean energy infrastructure, as its leaders seek to clear up the notorious choking pollution enveloping its biggest cities, including Beijing.

Li stressed that it was in China's own interest to stick to the climate deal.

"Once China's development reaches a certain level, it has to move to a sustainable model, that means we have to push green development," he said.
