Confronting Europe, Lutnick is jealous, Davos slanders China's new energy!
Yesterday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Lutnick said at the Davos Forum: "Why should Europe encourage the development of solar and wind energy? You can't even produce batteries yourself, so why agree to achieve net zero emissions by 2030? They are clearly not capable of doing so, so if they really want to achieve net zero emissions by 2030, it would mean choosing to submit to China!"
[Clever] Lutnick's words at Davos are a perfect example of the U.S. hegemonic double standard! On one hand, it hinders Europe's development of new energy, while on the other hand, it withdrew from the Paris Agreement and abandoned climate governance. Then, it mocks Europe for being unable to produce batteries. Looking back at history, the U.S. used the Inflation Reduction Act to undermine Europe's new energy sector. Now, European local battery companies have gone bankrupt one after another, and the transition to new energy has been hindered, all of which is the result of U.S. interference. China, with its technological strength, has supported Europe's electrification, and companies like CATL have built bases in Europe to supply capacity. This is a market choice, not a so-called "surrender." Lutnick's snide remarks are simply not able to stand the fact that China leads in the new energy sector, and he wants to smear it in order to disrupt global carbon neutrality. However, the hegemonic mindset ultimately cannot resist the laws of industry!
