China Leads Global Green Transition with Ambitious Green Tech Expansion and International Cooperation
December 1, 2025
Future‑oriented sectors highlighted include hydrogen energy, energy storage, bio‑manufacturing, and carbon capture, utilization and storage, with innovation as the core driver.
Officials quote perseverance and reaffirm commitment to green initiatives and a shared future for humanity despite shifting international dynamics.
China’s clean‑tech manufacturing dominance, accounting for a large share of global capacity, has driven down prices for solar panels and other renewables, accelerating adoption in developing economies.
Domestic targets imply significant grid integration and storage challenges, necessitating upgrades in grid infrastructure and market mechanisms to manage variable renewables.
Experts praise China’s leadership in R&D and large‑scale deployment of new energy technologies, positioning it as a global supplier of mature, cost‑effective green energy solutions.
China will deepen multilateral cooperation on green technologies and help its new energy vehicle, battery, and photovoltaic firms expand globally to accelerate a low‑carbon manufacturing transition.
China plans to promote international cooperation in green infrastructure and transportation, shape global green and low‑carbon regulations, and modernize its industrial system and green supply chains through comprehensive international collaboration.
China has collaborated with more than 100 countries on green energy projects, delivering tangible solutions for developing nations while driving economic growth.
The report cites statements from Li Lecheng and estimates from Ember and Bruegel on subsidies and trade impacts to frame the policy context.
Analysts warn that sustained state backing risks persistent overcapacity in clean‑tech supply chains, affecting trade and prices for years to come.
China points to a steep decline in global levelized costs for wind and solar over the past decade, noting reductions of more than 60% and 80% respectively.
Historical cost reductions for wind and solar are highlighted, with levelized costs down by over 60% and 80% in the last decade.
China reiterates substantial reductions in the global LCOE for wind and solar, quantified as over 60% and 80% in the past ten years.
Western protectionist responses include EU EV tariffs and US measures against Chinese hardware and software in connected vehicles, citing subsidies and national security concerns.
President Xi Jinping’s 2035 NDC targets aim to raise wind and solar capacity to about 3,600 GW and mainstream new energy vehicles in vehicle sales.
China intends to reach roughly 3,600 GW of wind and solar capacity by 2035 and mainstream NEVs in the vehicle market, signaling ambitious domestic targets to drive global expansion.
In September 2025, Xi announced the 2035 goal to expand wind and solar capacity to 3,600 GW and to mainstream NEVs in the market.
Li emphasizes the ecological civilization concept as the driver of the green transition and says the NDC targets are pragmatic and actionable for emission reductions.
From 2021 to 2024, China produced about 15.6 trillion kWh of PV modules, enabling roughly 3.2 trillion kWh of green electricity and a global CO2 reduction of around 2.5 billion metric tons.
Officials promote a philosophy of persistent action and global leadership in green initiatives, with industry leaders highlighting advantages in the industrial chain and scale to back overseas NE expansion.
Overall, Beijing’s strategy leverages manufacturing scale, policy support, and international cooperation to shape the global clean‑energy transition.
China has built the world’s largest new energy industry chain, exporting to over 200 countries and supplying a large share of global demand for PV modules and wind equipment, with many EVs on Chinese roads.
Technological innovation is the core driver of sustainable development, with near‑half of Chinese enterprises engaged in or planning green tech innovation as of 2024.
Minister Li Lecheng says China will push a green manufacturing transition toward high‑quality development, even as global climate governance faces headwinds.
The piece frames China’s green transition as a global contribution and a path to a shared future through green initiatives.
