In the headline of its publication, OilPrice calls China the world’s first “electrostate.” The publication links this characterization to the country’s position in patents and investments in clean energy.
Exports of solar panels and batteries
US tariffs introduced to limit Chinese clean energy technologies instead redirected exports to countries of the Global South, OilPrice writes. At the same time, imports of Chinese solar panels and batteries into the United States continue to grow.
