China makes great strides in energy transformation

China is making great efforts in transforming its energy structure, topping other countries in the growth of renewable energy. By the end of 2018, China's renewable energy generating capacity had reached 650 million kilowatts, up by 14 percent year-on-year. A total of 1.6 trillion kilowatt-hours of hydroelectric, wind and solar power were generated in the country last year, according to China's Policy and Actions for Addressing Climate Change (2018). Western media also praise China as a world leader in energy transition with mature renewable energy technology and strong financial support.
