A new China Low Carbon Technology FDI Database<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rapid acceleration in overseas investment by Chinese green technology manufacturers is reshaping the global clean-tech landscape. Since 2022 alone, investments have surged past USD 220 billion, spanning sectors such as batteries, solar, wind, new energy vehicles (NEVs), and green hydrogen. These investments now reach 54 countries across every major region. This policy brief offers the first comprehensive overview of China’s expanding global green manufacturing footprint, drawing upon the China Low Carbon Technology FDI Database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
