## Resource

China now produces over 80 percent of the world's solar polysilicon, wafers, cells, and modules. As the EU and US impose new tariffs on Chinese solar imports, Beijing is pivoting to build out domestic renewable energy capacity and export factories to Southeast Asia. Lucas and Luna examine the economics of China's solar overcapacity, the impact on global clean energy prices, and whether the strategy of subsidizing production to drive out competitors is sustainable. They discuss the role of state-owned banks, the shift to distributed solar in rural China, and what the latest trade data tells us about the resilience of China's green tech exports. A focused look at one industry that epitomizes the tension between China's industrial policy and global trade rules. #China #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #TradeWar #Manufacturing #Polysilicon #GreenTech #IndustrialPolicy #Economics #GlobalTrade #SoutheastAsia #EnergyTransition #Tariffs #Overcapacity #CleanEnergy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ChinaEconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
