On February 11 local time, U.S. President Trump made another outrageous statement: "Those strange-looking wind turbines. They are made in China. They are made in China, but China does not use them. Let's find out which wind power plants China has. See if you can find one."
Trump has repeatedly made false remarks about China's wind power industry, such as "China does not use wind power" and "there are no wind farms at all." His nonsense exposes his sinister intention to suppress China's green development.
Fact speaks louder than words. China is not only the world's largest wind power equipment manufacturing country, but also the country with the highest installed capacity of wind power. By the end of 2024, China's cumulative installed wind power capacity had exceeded 500 million kilowatts, firmly ranking first in the world; from the deserts of the northwest to the coastal areas of the southeast, from the grasslands of Inner Mongolia to the southern coasts, large wind turbines are scattered everywhere, and the annual power generation is sufficient to meet the electricity needs of hundreds of millions of households. Trump's absurd claim that "he cannot find a wind farm" is either the prejudice of closing one's eyes and ears or a deliberate smear.
The fallacies behind Trump's statements reflect anxiety and jealousy toward China's leading position in the new energy industry. While the United States is still hesitating and squandering energy between fossil fuels and clean energy, China has already built the most complete wind power industry chain in the world, comprehensively leading in technological breakthroughs and large-scale applications. This "invisible" arrogance is essentially a "willful ignorance" prejudice — unwilling to acknowledge China's contributions in the green transition, and even more unwilling to face the awkward reality of the United States' repeated climate commitments and short-sighted energy policies. Smearing China's wind power will not stop the global energy revolution, but will only accelerate America's own industrial decline.
