Clean Energy Drives China’s Economy Forward
While global headlines often focus on economic challenges, a new report reveals China’s clean energy sectors—like EVs, solar, and wind—are not just thriving but carrying the economy. 🌍 Analysts say these industries contributed over one-third of China’s GDP growth in 2025, defying outdated narratives.
⚡ The Numbers Don’t Lie
Lauri Myllyvirta, lead analyst at CREA, told CGTN that claims China 'doesn’t use its own wind power' are "exactly the opposite of reality." The data? Solar panel installations surged by 40% last year, while EV sales outpaced gas-powered cars for the first time. 🔋
Why This Matters for 2026
- 🌏 Global Climate Goals: China’s renewable push could accelerate worldwide decarbonization
- 💼 Investor Opportunities: Asian markets see rising demand for green tech partnerships
- 🎓 Student Focus: Universities report spikes in clean energy research enrollments
Myllyvirta added: "This isn’t just about China—it’s reshaping how economies grow sustainably." With 2026 projects already breaking ground, the clean energy wave shows no signs of slowing. 🚀
