Siemens Energy CEO Christian Bruch has made a bold statement this week: the global shift to renewable energy simply can't happen without China. 🌬️💡 'Energy transition without China does not work,' he told reporters, emphasizing that Europe’s wind turbine production relies heavily on Chinese materials like rare earths and permanent magnets.
Bruch dismissed the idea of economic 'de-risking' from China, calling the partnership 'fruitful and unavoidable.' His comments come as the EU launches subsidy probes targeting Chinese wind turbine suppliers—the fourth such investigation in two months. 🔍⚖️
With China dominating the supply chain for green tech, Bruch’s message is clear: collaboration, not separation, is the only way forward. 🌏✨ 'Trying to build a wind turbine without any Chinese supply in Europe will be close to impossible,' he added, sparking debates about the future of renewable energy policies.
