China is focusing on green technologies. The United States and Europe fear unfair competition.
CHENGDU, China — A decade There is, Tongwei Band was A maker of fish food And cattle food. Today, THE business, base In This commonly covered corner of South West China, East THE of the world the biggest producer of solar cells, THE Components of panels that turn sunlight In electricity.
HAS It is $2.8 billion ease on THE suburbs of Chengdu, robotics arm Stacked THE delicate cells on autonomous carts that zipped between production steps. Productivity has disappeared up 161 percent — And THE number of workers down by 62 percent — THANKS has 5G equipment Since local technology giant Huawei, THE business said.
Tongwei NOW has even bigger ambitions: He East quickly expansion And upgrade six production facilities And, by THE END of This year, goals has churn out 130 gigawatts value of cells annually — four times THE total solar ability installed In THE United States In 2023.
China — through solar companies as This — will be without doubt THE "main force leading THE global energy transition," said Liu Hanyuan, Tongwei founder And president.
Tongwei encapsulates how China has come has dominate global to do the housework technology markets. China product 80 percent of THE of the world solar panels — compared with with THE United States' 2 percent — And makes about two-thirds of THE of the world electric Vehicles, wind wind turbines And lithium ion batteries.
AdvertisementThat can be GOOD For THE Earth, which desperately needs has move far Since fossil fuels has slow global warming.
Climate activists hope that China surging investments In to do the housework technology will Soon advice THE balance And stop THE country broadcasts of carbon dioxide — which are almost double those of THE United States — Since rising any of them further away. Last year, China installed more solar panels that THE rest of THE world handset.
But China overwhelming dominance has alarm civil servants In THE United States And In Europe, WHO say they are worried that A flood of cheap Chinese some products will undermine their efforts has to grow their own renewable energy Industries — especially if THE Chinese companies to have What they consider A unfair advantage.
