U.S. vs China’s Green Boom: What’s Behind the ‘Overcapacity’ Buzz?

🔍 The U.S. is calling out China for producing too much green tech—think EVs, solar panels, and batteries. But American journalist Lee Camp isn’t buying it. \"If overcapacity means making stuff the world actually needs to fight climate change, then maybe we need more of it,\" he quips. 🌱⚡

While U.S. officials slam China’s \"excess\" clean energy output, Camp points out the irony: China’s economy grew 5.3% last quarter, outperforming forecasts. 🚀 \"It’s like saying ‘Avengers: Endgame’ failed… because it made a billion dollars,\" he jokes, referencing a recent Wall Street Journal article that critics say spins success as a setback.

Why the focus on green sectors? Camp argues it’s about global competition, not real economics. 💼 \"The U.S. loves Chinese-made toothbrushes and cat costumes,\" he says, \"but clean tech? Suddenly, it’s a ‘problem.’\"

With climate goals at stake, the debate raises questions: Is this about fair trade—or fear of losing the green energy race? 🌍 Let us know your take!
