## Resource

“China’s Green Code: Rewriting the Rules of Growth” is a four-part special series exploring China’s drive toward greener development across energy, industry, agriculture, and everyday life. In this episode, we travel to Changzhou, where the transition to cleaner energy is reshaping the way power is produced, stored, and managed. We explore both the promise and the challenges of renewable energy (1'46"), visit a massive salt cavern energy storage facility (12'29"), take a closer look at a virtual power plant linking different energy resources (17'25"), and examine the changing role of coal-fired power plants (20'30"). Together, these stories paint a picture of how one Chinese city is navigating the realities of the energy transition.
