Ten questions about "overcapacity" issue (8)

8. Safeguarding free market or obstructing global reduction of carbon emissions?

China's new energy industry is an active contributor in the global fight against climate change. In 2022, China's renewable energy generation was equivalent to a reduction of 2.26 billion tonnes of domestic carbon dioxide emissions. Its exports of wind power and photovoltaic products helped other countries reduce emissions by approximately 573 million tonnes. The two figures add up to over 2.8 billion tonnes of emissions reduction, or about 41 percent of the global total of carbon emissions reduction due to renewable energy, data from the National Energy Administration (NEA) shows.
