A recent report on the New York Times website focused on the largest South East Asian wind power project, the Laos Monsoon Wind Power Project, which was officially put into commercial operation by Chinese companies at the end of August this year, according to the report, the project is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 32 million tons over the next 25 years.

The project is not prominent in China¡¯s clean energy revolution, but it vividly reflects China¡¯s dominant position in the global renewable energy trading system.

According to the report, China's investment in clean technology has promoted an amazing transformation. Currently, China produces about two-thirds of the world's electric vehicles, about 60% of wind turbine blades, and more than 85% of battery capacity. According to the International Energy Agency's forecast last year, China's clean energy technology exports are expected to reach an annual export scale of US $340 billion in 2035, which is approximately equivalent to the current combined oil exports of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

China¡¯s clean energy-related exports have had a lasting impact ¨C beautifully shaped Chinese electric vehicles appear on the streets of Bangkok, Sao Paulo and Addis Abeba; China¡¯s solar panels cover sunny Pakistani cities, and the 13,000-foot (about 4,000-metre) high Argentine plateau; from the narrow coast of Bosnia to the Kenya plateau, to the wind farms in the southeastern plateau of Laos, China¡¯s wind turbines can be seen.

According to Laurie Miliverta, head of research at the Finnish Center for Energy and Clean Air Research, China has exported clean energy technology to 191 of the 192 UN member states in 2024, in addition to itself.

According to Milivilta's calculations, the clean technology exported by China in 2024 alone means that it can prevent 220 million tons of carbon emissions within a year, which is approximately equivalent to the annual emissions of 50 million fuel vehicles. The article believes that this means that China's clean energy-related exports have weakened global carbon emissions.
