NUMBER OF THE DAY
That’s the total value of China’s clean-energy technology exports so far this year.
🔋 Green export powerhouse: In August, shipments of EVs, solar panels and batteries reached a record USD 20 billion. In solar alone, 46 GW of capacity was exported — the highest volume ever, despite falling prices.
🌍 Market shift: More than half of China’s EV exports now go to emerging markets, mainly ASEAN, Africa and Latin America.
Watch: Trump is once again ramping up oil and gas production and doubling down on fossil-fuel exports. The US, by comparison, earned only USD 80 billion from oil and gas shipments. China, meanwhile, continues to strengthen its position as a global supplier of clean-energy technology. With every solar panel and battery that reaches developing countries, Beijing’s influence grows.
