China's EVs drive global green development

(CNS) -- "Why is China winning the EV war?" A video titled as such by the American media outlet Vox was posted on YouTube recently, garnering over 1.5 million views and sparking widespread discussion.
The video points out that while the Biden administration set a climate goal that 50 percent of all new car sales in the U.S. would be electric by 2030, China reached that milestone this year. It analyzes conditions from three aspects—government support, supply chain, and technological innovation—stating that China has invested billions of U.S. dollars in the electric vehicle industry over the past decade for subsidies, R&D spending, and tax breaks. China has established a complete battery supply chain and leads the world in related technology innovation.
The video highlights that the U.S. urgently needs to transition to electric vehicles to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but that current American automakers struggle to offer affordable choices to consumers. It poses the question that whether the America's desire to distance itself from China outweighs its goal of going electric.
In the comments section below the video, the most liked comment said: When the U.S. is less competitive than its rivals, "free trade" becomes "national security." Another commented: Calling China's support for their EV industry as "unfair global competition" is similar to someone joining a marathon but choosing to walk instead of run, and then calling the winners "unfair."
The global community widely agrees that green transformation is crucial to addressing climate change, and that new energy vehicles would encourage more environmentally friendly modes of transportation. However, some countries and regions currently politicize trade issues, pointing fingers at China in an attempt to divide the global automotive market, posing a threat to global green transformation and sustainable development goals.
Actions speak louder than words. In 2023, China's share of global production and sales of new energy vehicles exceeded 60%, ranking first globally for nine consecutive years. At this year's United Nations Environment Assembly, China's new energy vehicles received recognition from multiple parties. Kenyan officials stated that almost all electric vehicles in Kenya are from China, emphasizing the country’s significant role in helping developing countries transition to electric vehicles and reduce carbon emissions.
Under China's "dual carbon goals," to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, the Chinese EV industry is thriving, demonstrating both a commitment to green and low-carbon transformation and the responsibility of a major power.
