Reference News Network, December 3 report: The United Arab Emirates' Al Bayan newspaper website published an article written by journalist Jay Silotin on December 1, titled "China Leads the World in Five Aspects: Let the Data Speak." The following is a translated version of the article:

China has an unparalleled dominant position in key industries such as renewable energy, electric vehicles, critical minerals, supply chains, software, and high technology.

With its technological and manufacturing advantages, including the application of "dark factories," China is leading an unprecedented green revolution.

The following five aspects demonstrate how China's industrial advantages, supported by clear policy measures, help the world transition to a green economy.

Domination in Battery Technology

China dominates the field of electric vehicle batteries. As a core component of electric vehicles, the vast majority of global energy storage batteries are produced in China.

Western automakers now rely on China for power systems. The ultra-fast charging battery displayed at the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show by Buick is produced in China.

High-tech Cockpits and Software Innovation

Software used to be the exclusive domain of the United States. Now, the situation has changed significantly.

Currently, Toyota's Boshijie 7 and some Nissan Altima models are equipped with Huawei's HarmonyOS cockpit system.

Volkswagen has partnered with XPeng Motors, adopting the latter's software, indicating that the automotive industry is witnessing a shift of power from Europe to the East.

Robotics, AI Factories, and Urban Mobility

XPeng Motors recently showcased a new generation of humanoid robots, which also significantly shortened the development cycle of vehicle models. In the electric vehicle sector, this "ultra-fast iteration" capability is sufficient to "outperform" joint ventures.

XPeng also demonstrated a new flying car.

In the chip industry, this rapid innovation capability is expected to help Chinese startups catch up with companies like NVIDIA and AMD.

Renewable Energy

As a core component of the renewable energy revolution, solar energy has developed at an astonishing pace in China. China controls about 90% of the global solar supply chain, which has also helped its development.

Between 2020 and 2024, China added 600 to 650 gigawatts of solar capacity.

Vertical Integration

Under government support for strategic industries, China's vertical integration has driven the development of the industrial ecosystem: electric vehicles, chips, high-tech manufacturing, critical minerals, robotics/drones, and renewable energy.

At the same time, Western countries are trying to save traditional industries, which have kept the West in a leading position for the past 200 years, but the tech world has moved forward.

China's vertically integrated model, from raw materials to final assembly, has gained an unparalleled supply chain advantage through "industrial clusters." In these clusters, factories and suppliers at all levels (raw materials, components, logistics) gather together, thereby significantly shortening delivery cycles, reducing costs, and enhancing supply chain resilience through shared expertise and economies of scale.

These advantages currently attract worldwide admiration and cannot be ignored. (Translated by Wang Diqing)
