China doubles down on green tech and the energy transition

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : This is frustrating for ardent advocates of free trade, as it means that cheap Chinese solar panels, EVs, and batteries will not be available in America any time soon.
54% : Moreover, it suggests that place-based industrial policies are facilitating, not impeding, de-carbonisation.
52% : This strategy pushed the EU to implement its own raft of green subsidies.
51% : Just as many African countries have leapfrogged to mobile networks, skipping landline development, they must do the same with clean energy, bypassing fossil fuels.
50% : Ultimately, China and the US (as well as the EU) must reach an agreement on what constitutes fair and free trade of green goods.
