> to make green energy research happen everywhere and export our successes

China won there because they can build things, they are also built 60+ nuclear reactors over the past decade. That's the main difference between them and the west. It's not a lack of government grants for green R&D.

They made renewable energy affordable for both themselves and others... by allowing industry to operate efficiently and affordably.

Tesla couldn't build a Lithium Battery plant in California for their electric cars because made it impossible via environmental air regulations. But now the west is benefiting from Chinese production.
