Insights | China promotes a beautiful China and beautiful Earth with tech innovation: Former UN Under-Secretary-General

The Communist Party of China convened the third plenary session of its 20th Central Committee in July in Beijing. Erik Solheim, former UN Under-Secretary-General, said in an interview with China News Network regarding the topics addressed at the third plenary session.

Solheim believes that China's new quality productive forces is integrating innovations in green technology and artificial intelligence, leading to a more productive economy, creating more jobs, and making a beautiful China and a more wonderful planet.

"‘Chinese overcapacity’ is against common sense," he pointed out that we all want an overcapacity producing more green products rather than less, for which "overcapacity green" is good and we need more of it.

"China is now the indispensable nation for everything green in the world," he mentioned that over 60% or more of solar, wind, hydropower, and electric batteries, electric cars are made in China.

Regarding this, Solheim stated that we should be grateful for China becoming the leader in the green industry, "rather than starting complaining." (By Huang Fang Videographer: He Xianjin)
