China's Foreign Ministry has fired back at U.S. accusations of 'overcapacity' in its booming new energy sector, calling the claims 'protectionism in disguise'. Spokesperson Wang Wenbin urged G7 nations to scrutinize U.S. exports like soybeans and aircraft instead of targeting Chinese green tech. 🛢️➡️🌱
🔋 Innovation vs. Accusations
The U.S. claims China's solar panels and EVs flood global markets due to state support. But Wang stressed: 'Our tech grew through open competition – not subsidies. Why isn't anyone questioning America's natural gas dominance?'
🌐 Climate Hypocrisy Alert
While G7 finance chiefs plan to discuss China's green tech 'overproduction', Wang warned: 'You can't demand climate action while blocking affordable solar panels. Protectionism = planetary loss.'
What's Next?
With the green transition at stake, China urges nations to 'choose win-wins over trade walls'. Will G7 leaders prioritize clean energy access or protectionist politics? The world is watching. 👀
