When it comes to solar technology, the world is dependent on supplies from China. But in the West, there are debates about human rights violations along the supply chain. The People's Republic now reacts by planning its own "clean" supply chains for exports. The West would still receive solar technology with a clear conscience but would remain dependent.

Renewable energies are an integral part of China's policy. The current, 14th Five-Year Plan primarily promotes the technological areas of energy and materials and focuses on the development of alternative energy sources. In contrast to the previous five-year plan, the focus is no longer on achieving global technological leadership in renewable energy technologies, but rather on expanding the infrastructure and strengthening the economic and secure energy supply. In the 14th Five-Year Plan, the Chinese Ministry of Energy (NEA) has given concrete figures for renewable energy. Thus, the total installed capacity of wind power and solar is to reach 1200 GW by 2030. As early as 2020, China's energy system experienced record renewable energy growth despite the coronavirus crisis. By 2025, the final 16.5 percent should be reached.
