Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is taking heat for meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing that focused on "climate change" and fentanyl.

On Wednesday, Newsom continued his weeklong tour of China, where he continues to climate fear-mongering people into thinking the world is nearing its end.

"I'm here in expectation, as you suggest, of turning the page, of renewing our friendship and re-engaging (on) foundational and fundamental issues that will determine our collective faith in the future," Newsom said in brief opening remarks ahead of his meeting with Wang Yi, China's top diplomat.

The California Democrat and Xi discussed several ways to "accelerate our progress on climate change in meaningful and substantive ways."

The two also reportedly talked about fentanyl and increased rates of it coming into the U.S. from the southern border. China poses a significant factor in the deadly drug production, which is then shipped to other parts of the world. However, Republicans have accused Beijing of fueling the flow of the drug cartels that have poured into the U.S. through the border.

Xi reportedly told Newsom that the meeting will "enhance mutual understanding" on developing relations between the U.S. and China.

"I hope your visit will enhance mutual understanding between the two sides and play a positive role in expanding cooperation between China and California and promoting the healthy and stable development of Sino-U.S. relations," Xi added, according to China's state broadcaster CCTV.

However, critics slammed Newsom's trip, saying that China is not a trusted ally of the United States.
