Samenvatting

Clean Giant examines how the Chinese government recognized at start of the twenty-first century that the country's surging consumption of coal and oil were harming the environment and health of the human population, which threatened the stability of the ruling Chinese Communist Party. As a result, for over two decades, the government put forth various plans and incentives to spur its own homegrown companies to develop, manufacture, and innovate across a range of low-carbon technologies like solar, wind, nuclear, electric vehicles, and batteries. These sustained and varied efforts have turned China into the world's largest installer of wind and solar power; as well as the largest producer, exporter, and buyer of electric vehicles and batteries, while also starting to bring down China's once-surging carbon emissions.
