China’s effort helping drive greener future

Published

BEIJING, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from chinadaily.com.cn：

While blasting narratives that accuse China of “overcapacity” in green energy sectors, Liu Jieyi, a seasoned diplomat and senior official of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, said that “many countries are exporting what they produce best, and you cannot call that ‘overcapacity'”.

Liu, a member of the Standing Committee and vice-chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, made the remarks in an exclusive interview with China Daily that covered a wide range of topics, including high-level opening-up, new quality productive forces and China’s whole-process people’s democracy.

The recent hostile narratives on China’s so-called “overcapacity” have targeted the country’s clean energy products, such as solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles and lithium batteries.

“If you measure the future needs of the world for green energy — at least according to the International Energy Agency’s projection — we are still falling short of the need to cope with climate change for green energy,” Liu said.

“Therefore, it’s not a matter of ‘overcapacity’. It’s a matter of more extensive use of green energy,” he added.

If one puts the label of “overproduction” and “overcapacity” on a country that is exporting to meet the needs of other countries, “then we have many such countries”, he said. “You cannot treat China differently simply because China is providing something that the world needs.”

He noted that many other countries welcome such a contribution from China with open arms, and “it is not right to confuse such competitiveness with ‘overproduction'”.

“The best thing would be to rise above narrow national interests and political considerations behind this trade protectionism and to work together with China … for the sake of a cleaner future for future generations,” he said.

Regarding high-level opening-up, Liu said the CPPCC National Committee has done a lot by holding seminars and consultations to look at ways that China can “achieve a greater degree of integration of the Chinese economy and global economic growth”, and it has contributed to policy recommendations and formulation.

“We look at what improvements we can make to pilot free trade zones, to different areas where we can open up and provide more and better market access,” he said when referring to the removal of restrictions on foreign direct investment in the manufacturing sector and giving greater market access to the service trade.

“Also, we are cutting short the negative lists,” he said. “We have provided great certainty in this very uncertain international environment.”

In response to growing global attention on China’s cutting-edge sectors and its pursuit of new quality productive forces, Liu cited the unique strength of the CPPCC National Committee in pooling talent and wisdom.

“It has members coming from different fields and professions — from academia, enterprises and people with background in government,” he said, noting that many members from scientific and technological sectors are leading experts in new quality productive forces including big data, artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum technology.

The members carry out consultations on the basis of investigations and research, including visits to factories, research labs and universities, Liu said.

“They try to find ways to further develop such productivity and, in the process, to make sure that younger generations are brought on board,” he added.

Noting that the CPPCC is a special consultative body, Liu said it is an important part of the country’s whole-process people’s democracy in terms of consultations and supervision.

He cited as an example a consultation held by the CPPCC on farming, with a live video feed from a sugarcane farm to the meeting venue in Beijing. “The participants, members and government officials in the consultations — some of them were ministers — could talk directly with the producers and farmers in the field.

“In this way, what happens at the grassroots is fed into the consultation process, is fed into either the implementation or the formulation of policy,” he said.

The CPPCC has exchanged frequent visits with other nations and international organizations, and Liu noted that the foreign guests coming to Beijing have often asked “what Chinese modernization is”, “why China has been successful in maintaining decades of robust economic development and social stability”, and “what the secret behind such success is”.

“The exchanges would look at these facts and the underlying logic of the success achieved by China,” he said, adding that the CPPCC will expand exchanges with counterparts in the international community.

“When they know more about whole-process people’s democracy and how to incorporate in it the people’s wisdom and strengths, they see that indeed there is a very good way for developing countries to move forward in today’s world,” Liu said. “They also see things in China’s success that are inspirational in their consideration of their way forward.”

PS Hogan highlights investments from Spring Economic Update 2026: Canada Strong for All to support Canada’s sport system

CALGARY, AB, May 2, 2026 /CNW/ – In Budget 2025, we outlined our plan to build Canada Strong. Since then, we have moved fast to build the major infrastructure, homes and industries that grow Canada’s economy and create lasting prosperity; empower Canadians with better careers and a more affordable life; and protect our communities, our borders and our way of life.

We delivered concrete savings for Canadians while supporting key national priorities and keeping investments focused on results. We are maintaining a strong fiscal position, with the Spring Economic Update 2026 showing that projected deficits are lower over the fiscal horizon and that we are on track to meet our fiscal anchors.

The Spring Economic Update 2026 is the next step in our plan to build Canada Strong for All. It provides a clear update on the strength of Canada’s economy, giving Canadians confidence in our plan. It delivers targeted relief to make life more affordable, support workers and accelerate the construction of homes and major infrastructure. It also strengthens Canada’s competitiveness and economic growth while investing in strong, safe communities across the country.

Today, Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Calgary Confederation, met with athletes at Foothills Athletic Park to highlight key investments in sport from the Spring Economic Update to build stronger and safer communities.

The Government of Canada is investing $755 million to support and expand Canada’s sport system, which will help athletes safely train and perform at the highest levels. This will increase sport participation across the country by strengthening national sport organizations, infrastructure and local sport communities.

Canada’s new government is transforming our economy from reliance to resilience. The Spring Economic Update 2026 ensures all Canadians can participate in building Canada strong and share in its success. Other key measures include:

The Canada Strong Fund — Canada’s first national sovereign wealth fund. This will invest in key, strategic Canadian projects and companies. While Canadians will benefit from these nation building projects through jobs, economic growth and greater security, the government is determined to ensure that Canadians also have a stake in the projects themselves. That’s why a unique and important feature of the Canada Strong Fund will be its new retail investment product. This allows Canadians to receive financial returns as we build Canada strong together.Team Canada Strong — a new nationwide effort to recruit, train and hire 80,000 to 100,000 new skilled trade workers by 2030–31. This initiative creates new opportunities for Canadians and attracts the workers needed to build more homes and major projects at speed and at scale.Building Stronger Communities — by making communities safer, more connected and more resilient. We are building more homes, getting tougher on crime and fraud and funding essential infrastructure, including small craft harbours that sustain coastal communities and local jobs. We are also investing to build healthier, safer and stronger Indigenous communities.

Our new government is building a Canada that is not just strong, but good; not just prosperous, but fair. A Canada that is not just for some, most of the time, but for all, at all times. We’re building Canada strong, for all.

Quote

“The Spring Economic Update 2026 builds on the momentum of our budget, combining strategic investments with sustained fiscal discipline to keep building Canada Strong for All — delivering prosperity today and strengthening our economy for tomorrow. At this pivotal moment in Canada’s history, we’re charting a course through the fog of uncertainty and global headwinds with strength, determination and ambition — and building one strong Canadian economy, by Canadians, for Canadians.”
— The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue 

“The Government of Canada is building Canada Strong by investing in what brings us together — our people, our communities and our athletes. By strengthening the foundation of Calgary and  Canada’s sport system, we are building a resilient economy and strong communities for all.”
— Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Calgary Confederation

Quick Facts

The Spring Economic Update 2026 proposes to provide $755 million over five years, starting in 2026–27, and $118 million ongoing to Canadian Heritage to support Canada’s sport system to: Host and compete with the best: $50 million over five years to bring more world-class sporting events to Canada. Funding will be tied to legacy-building projects that deliver lasting benefits well beyond the events themselves. Facilities built or upgraded for major events will continue to serve communities, support grassroots participation and strengthen local sport systems for years to come. Support our athletes in performing at the highest levels: $45 million over five years and $8 million ongoing to help our athletes train, compete and perform, including support for better mental health and funding that will be linked to robust safe sport measures and frameworks. These actions will strengthen the sport system and respond to some of the findings of the Final Report of the Future of Sport in Canada Commission while the government continues to consider all of its Calls to Action. Get more Canadians involved in sport: $660 million over five years and $110 million ongoing for National Sport Organisations, increasing funding that has remained largely unchanged since 2005, so that they can invest in a strong and safe sport system and grow participation among children and youth nationwide.
