China recently reiterated its leadership in the renewable energy sector during the Third China International Supply Chain Expo held in Beijing from July 16 to 20. The event featured a dedicated exhibition area for the clean energy supply chain, showcasing a comprehensive full-cycle industrial chain of clean energy, including cutting-edge technologies and products, as well as the emerging trends propelling the sector forward.

At this expo, it was highlighted that China is the world’s foremost supplier of renewable energy products. The nation has developed the largest and most rapidly expanding clean energy system globally, accounting for 80 percent of the world's photovoltaic modules and 70 percent of key components essential for wind energy production, according to information shared at the "Charting the Green Horizon" event during the expo.

China’s dominance extends beyond solar and wind energy. The country also ranks among the top producers of hydropower and nuclear power and is significant in the manufacturing of power transmission equipment. Such statistics underline China's integral role in the movement towards a global clean energy future.

Recent data from China’s National Energy Administration further emphasizes the country’s progress. By the end of May 2025, China's total installed power generation capacity reached an impressive 3.61 billion kilowatts, marking an 18.8 percent increase year-on-year, showcasing the rapidly growing potential of its clean energy infrastructure.

The implications of China’s advancements in renewable energy are extensive. As the country continues to produce a significant share of global renewable energy components, it solidifies its position as a critical player in both domestic and international clean energy markets. This has significant ramifications for global supply chains and international cooperation in the clean energy sector.

Looking ahead, industry leaders emphasize the importance of international collaboration in achieving shared clean energy goals. With advancements in technology and increasing demand for renewable energy, China’s role is likely to expand even further, influencing policies and investments across various nations.

As the world grapples with climate change and the transition to sustainable energy sources, China's leadership provides a possible blueprint for other countries. The nation demonstrates that through innovation and large-scale production, the transition to a clean energy future is not only feasible but also a rapidly approaching reality.
