If China’s government wants to pour massive resources into creating better, cheaper solar gear, both to clean up its own dirty grid and the wider world’s as well, that’s better for all of us. Why refuse them?
Yes, it would be better still if Western governments all did the same at the same level, but that hasn’t happened, and not only with solar. China now also makes most of the world’s EVs, batteries, high-speed trains, HVDC transmission systems and everything else needed to quit fossil fuels. Boycotting these simply keeps us hooked on fossil fuels.
