BizDataDive: Why is energy transition a shared China-US challenge?
In 2025, China added over 430 gigawatts of new wind and solar capacity while the US added 53 gigawatts – 80% of it solar and storage.
Eight of every 10 solar modules worldwide are made in China, driving down global clean energy costs for everyone.
In this episode, let's explore why the energy transition demands cooperation, not walls.
Chinese and US teams on Sunday held candid, in-depth and constructive exchanges during consultations on economic and trade issues.
Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, who led the Chinese delegation, held economic and trade talks in New York with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, head of the US side, and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
Guided by the important consensus reached by the heads of state of the two countries, they have engaged in exchanges on important economic and trade issues of common concern, as well as the implementation of consensus reached in previous talks, by upholding the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.
