Mega-polluter China believes it is a climate saviour

Live Mint  

Which countries should shell out more to save the planet? Eight in ten of the world’s solar panels are made in China, according to the International Energy Agency, an intergovernmental body. Last year global spending on the deployment of clean-energy technologies came to $1.8trn, according to BloombergNEF, of which 38% occurred in China. But China’s clean-energy success is down to a number of factors, says Lauri Myllyvirta of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, a think-tank in Finland. China’s ruler, Xi Jinping, has dubbed clean energy one of the “new productive forces", or cutting-edge technologies that he wants his country to dominate.
