| Solar power is set to overtake coal as China’s largest energy source by installed capacity by the end of 2026, with total solar capacity expected to exceed 1.27 billion kW. While photovoltaic generation continues to grow rapidly, accounting for a significant share of peak electricity demand, China is shifting its focus from capacity expansion to higher-quality development, emphasizing efficiency, technological innovation, and market discipline. The government is promoting a more sustainable and value-driven solar industry, supported by stronger regulation, energy storage solutions, and grid integration to ensure long-term growth. |

| Western concerns about China’s exports “crowding out” developing economies are not fully supported by data. China’s export structure has shifted from consumer goods toward intermediate goods and capital equipment, which increasingly support industrial production in other countries. In Southeast Asia and beyond, Chinese components, machinery, and technologies are helping local industries grow and integrate into global supply chains. While trade imbalances remain, Chinese exports often act as a foundation for industrial development rather than a barrier to it. The relationship is therefore evolving toward deeper economic interdependence rather than simple competition. |

| China’s economy grew 4.7% year-on-year in the first half of 2026, but growth slowed in the second quarter as weak domestic demand contrasted with strong industrial output. The debate over a “K-shaped” recovery highlights the gap between advanced sectors such as AI, high-end manufacturing, and exports, and weaker areas including consumption, real estate, and employment. Authorities are considering further fiscal support and measures to boost demand, while long-term efforts focus on rebalancing growth toward domestic consumption and reducing reliance on investment and exports. |

| China’s Qinling Station, its latest Antarctic research base, has achieved a major milestone by meeting around 50% of its electricity demand through renewable sources even during the polar night. Located in the Ross Sea region, the station uses an integrated energy system combining wind, solar, hydrogen, battery storage, and diesel backup to reduce fossil fuel dependence. The project represents a significant step toward more sustainable polar infrastructure, lowering emissions, cutting logistics costs, and providing a model for future green energy applications in extreme environments. |
