In the last two decades, China has made big commitments to renewable energy — and it’s delivered. Last year, China installed more solar panels than the U.S. has in its history.

Solar panel exports increased 38%, and lower prices have all but killed solar manufacturing in the U.S. and EU. Chinese company BYD recently surpassed Tesla as the world's largest EV maker — with cars at just a fraction of the cost. This has leaders in the West fretting about competition, but isn’t this good news for the planet? How do we balance competition with global climate progress?

Guests:

Emily Feng, International Correspondent, NPR

Alex Wang, Professor, UCLA School of Law; Co-Director; Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment

James Sallee, Professor, Resource Economics, University of California, Berkeley
