Who calculates what percentage of China's energy is solar?

But regardless of that, Trump just told the Davos collective, and the rest of the world, that China has no windmills for energy, and the few wind farms they have don't even turn and are only for show so they can sell them to idiots.

Trump just made an idiotic comment at Davos. Not that anyone is surprised. He can't find any wind farms in China apparently.

Dunno, but they're currently building another 50 coal fired power stations.

As of 2024, China has installed 277 gigawatts (GW) of solar power, which accounts for 15% of the world's total cumulative installed solar capacity. In the first half of 2025, China installed 256 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity, which is 67% of global additions during that period. This rapid expansion highlights China's significant role in the global solar energy market.

I mean, wow.

To think there are people on this site who cheer him on and think he's intelligent - it just baffles me. He is a laughing stock outside America.

His well known support of the oil and gas industry is the main reason.

 

He supports oil and gas strongly because they make giant regular contributions to his election / re-election funds, and they expect something in return: kill renewable developments.

Bingo!and the wind turbines spoiled the view at one of his failing golf courses.and yes he’s that petty that for that very reason he is ok with depriving us the use of free clean energy.

Further, trump claims there's no wind farms in China. Google doesn't agree, stating there's many large wind farms in Cjina including the biggest in the world.

It sort of saddens me that trump continues to tell so many blatant lies, expecting the world to accept his lies and obvious attempts to get the world to accept his severe lack of truth / his attemps to get the world to see an overall picture to his liking, not the truth.

How can a US president be allowed (by theUS) to tell so many lies?

So, China calculates what percentage of China's energy is solar, and that is accepted as fact.

You are welcome to go and visit them. Many many people have. Oh, and Our World in Data agrees - thousands of independent researchers.

Yet your beloved leader can go on stage at Davos and lie about everything......and that's ok? He said China doesn't have any wind farms. Do you agree?

I am willing to bet you've never been to China. Light years ahead of the US in so many industries, yet you gobble up the propaganda and wave your flag.

I've been to China for work a number of times.

I never Claimed China did not have solar and wind power, just that the numbers are suspect.
