China's edge in clean energy stays intact

China's role as the world's leading clean energy producer remains intact despite rising trade tensions and shifting climate policies, thanks to its broad export base, cost competitiveness and technological edge, according to the latest analysis from Moody's Ratings.

While the tariffs imposed by the United States could push companies to diversify their supply chains, China's entrenched position in the market "limits the pace at which companies can shift away", the rating agency said in an infographic released on Tuesday.

Moody's highlighted China's ability to serve more than 200 countries and regions as a critical advantage in navigating trade barriers. The country's export destinations are geographically diverse, spanning across continents, including key partners such as Germany, Brazil, Australia and Saudi Arabia, which minimizes its exposure to any single market's restrictions, the agency said.
