In this article, the great achievements of China towards a green transition are summarized.
- By the end of 2025, China’s installed wind power capacity had grown 22.9 percent year on year to 640 million kilowatts, accounting for more than 16 percent of the nation’s total installed power generation capacity
- In 2025, China’s installed wind and solar power capacity reached a historic milestone by surpassing that of thermal power.
- China has established the most complete policy framework for carbon emissions reduction and the largest, fastest-growing renewable energy system in the world.
- China has established the world’s most comprehensive industrial chain, covering the large-scale manufacturing of wind power equipment, high-standard turbine installation, and highly reliable operations and maintenance.
- At the end of 2025, China’s installed solar power capacity hit 1.2 billion kilowatts, 4.8 times its 2020 figure.
- Currently, China accounts for nearly half of the world’s total installed wind and solar power capacity, and for about 60 percent of new solar and wind power installations globally.
- China supplies 70 percent of the world’s wind power equipment and 80 percent of photovoltaic panels. In 2025, China’s exports of wind power equipment grew by nearly 50 percent. Chinese wind power enterprises have built factories in multiple countries.
According to the authors, “promoting the green transition of the energy system will not only provide a strong driving force for human development, but also better safeguard the right of all countries to equitable development. It is wise and forward-looking for countries to deepen cooperation in the clean energy sector. China is poised to make greater contributions by developing its renewable energy and supporting global efforts.”
