Overview
- At the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Donald Trump said China makes most turbines, claimed he could not find wind farms in China, and called Chinese buyers "stupid."
- Foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun publicly defended China’s record, saying the country has led global installed wind capacity for 15 consecutive years.
- China reported more than 600 million kW of installed wind capacity by the end of November 2025, according to official figures.
- Officials said exports of wind and photovoltaic equipment reduced other countries’ carbon emissions by about 4.1 billion tonnes during 2021 to 2025, while pledging continued cooperation on a low‑carbon transition.
- The exchange unfolds against ongoing trade tensions, including a European Union investigation into subsidies for Chinese turbine suppliers that Beijing has condemned as protectionist.
