China dominates the wind supply chain, providing between 70–80% of the core components and refines almost 100% of the critical minerals required to build turbines. The policy implications are enormous. The West cannot meet its ambitious climate targets without cheap renewable energy.

The European Solar Manufacturing Council estimates that over 200 GW of European solar power capacity is linked to inverters made in China - equivalent to more than 200 nuclear power plants. At the end of last year, there were 338 GW of installed solar power in Europe, according to industry association SolarPower Europe.
In November 2024, The Straits Times reported that China is developing the world's largest commercial floating offshore wind farm near Hainan. The 1-gigawatt (GW) project, undertaken by state-owned PowerChina, will be constructed in two phases: an initial 200 megawatts (MW) by 2025, followed by the remaining 800 MW by 2027.
