China just flexed its green energy muscles 💪 as officials announced the country has maintained #1 global wind power capacity for 15 consecutive years! This climate victory lap comes after Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun addressed recent claims by U.S. President Donald Trump at Davos suggesting China avoids domestic wind energy use.
"Our installed wind capacity could power 50 million homes annually," Guo stated Thursday, revealing that China's turbines now generate over 750 terawatt-hours of clean electricity each year – equivalent to eliminating 600 million tons of CO₂ emissions. 🌱
While Trump argued that "wind farms ruin landscapes," Chinese environmentalists counter that the renewable push aligns with their 2060 carbon neutrality pledge. The National Energy Administration reports 23 new offshore wind projects currently under construction along the eastern coastline. 🏗️🌊
Young climate activists are celebrating the milestone on social media, with #WindWall trending across Chinese platforms. As one Weibo user put it: "Who needs coal when you've got the Gobi Desert winds?" 🌪️📱
