This trend highlights China’s growing dominance in renewable energy, shaping the future of global energy markets. As China scales up production and lowers costs, it sets the stage for increased adoption of clean energy worldwide, influencing environmental sustainability efforts and economic competitiveness in the years to come.
What about all the unfair competition other industries faced all this years?
What about all the companies that had to close because of this?
Isn’t green energy the one thing we *want* governments to subsidize the shit out of?
China’s green revolution has made some [real progress](https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/30/asia/air-pollution-report-china-south-asia-intl-hnk-scn/index.html) but remains hindered by [farces](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAMfXdmlvUc) and [facades.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvc7VymDa4c) As of last year, particulate pollution in Beijing is still forty percent higher than the most polluted county in the United States (Plumas County, California). China is currently the [nineteenth](https://www.iqair.com/us/world-most-polluted-countries) most polluted country.
Not like the west had an insane time and tech advantage that went squandered in the name of Oil, coal and Gas Lobbyists sigh
The US or EU should have been the de facto green energy tech leader ages ago but here we are
Because we are still focused on fossil fuels. It’s despicable. They’ve known for 30-45 years. Seriously.
The OP’s post history reveals he is either a troll or a Chinese shill.
This is something West does wrong quite often.
Just subsidize already too, and make sure manufacture can happen in your region and that the tech is rapidly put in use by common people and corporations alike. It kickstarts the new industry, letting it rapidly blow away the old and obsolete that you want removed from use anyway. Heat pumps, local power/heat storage, solar, geothermal and research of deep drilling techniques, wind, wave, etc.
Free markets aren’t always great at rapid evolution due to organizational inertia and barriers to entry and competition put up by established players in a mature sector, they only work fast when there is a total revolution in technology that established players cannot suppress despite their best efforts.
Let’s not ignore China’s history of performative appearance. They seem to have mastered the art of the bamboozle.
>China is all in on green tech.
Hurrzah, rejoice!
> The U.S. and Europe fear unfair competition.
Why you gotta spin everything to the negative?
Green tech should have been viewed similarly to the space race. US and other western powers should be viewing the race to green technology as being a way to demonstrate that democracy and capitalism is the better system. The rise of cheap EVs by China should be viewed as a challenge that we need to step up our game.
The west is all „Free trade man!“ when they’re economically dominant and extracting from weak markets, but as soon as another country is undercutting their prices and outselling them, they’re all „unfair practices guys!“.
I’ll believe that China is pursuing green energy in good faith once they stop painting barren land green, creating ghost cities that wastefully deplete river sand deposits for concrete, and the dozens upon dozens of stories that make it out of failing infrastructure due to cutting corners and corrupt institutions trying to save face.
Eat them up china. Displace their fucking greed with*green* greed. Atleast it won’t kill us. *For now*
