The National Energy Administration (NEA) called for “bold innovation” in the sector during a recent meeting reviewing the progress of hydrogen pilots and outlining future tasks, according to an official readout... https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3350313/china-fast-tracks-hydrogen-strategy-scale-phase-high-stakes-energy-transition?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3350313/china-fast-tracks-hydrogen-strategy-scale-phase-high-stakes-energy-transition?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:00:21 +0000 Xiaofei Xu Xiaofei Xu Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is set to visit China later this year, as tensions with the United States prompt more European countries to rethink ties with Beijing. A source familiar with the talks said the two sides were discussing details of the trip. If it goes ahead, it will be Sanchez’s fourth to China in four years. Miguel Otero-Iglesias, a senior analyst at the Madrid-based Elcano Royal Institute, said the prime minister had suggested in the past that visits to China should be an... https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3342352/china-and-spain-talks-pm-pedro-sanchez-visit-beijing-again?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3342352/china-and-spain-talks-pm-pedro-sanchez-visit-beijing-again?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 04 Feb 2026 08:55:44 +0000 Dewey Sim,Alyssa Chen Dewey Sim,Alyssa Chen China and Canada have embarked on a new strategic partnership, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in the Chinese capital on Friday as he announced a series of deals and suggested that Beijing was a “more predictable” partner than Washington.

The only problem is that much of this potential power goes to waste. Thirty per cent of Tibetan wind energy was lost in the first 10 months of last year, as production had to be paused to avoid overloading the power network. Sunny Qinghai province similarly had to curtail 16.4 per cent of its solar energy in the same period, according to China’s National Energy Administration.

Rising lithium costs were the immediate trigger, with at least three other battery makers reported in recent weeks to be planning similar increases. Prices of the metal, crucial to rechargeable batteries,... https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3336932/can-rising-lithium-costs-save-chinas-energy-storage-firms-brutal-price-war?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3336932/can-rising-lithium-costs-save-chinas-energy-storage-firms-brutal-price-war?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 18 Dec 2025 23:30:08 +0000 Xiaofei Xu Xiaofei Xu The Chinese business community in France is anxiously awaiting clarity on the country’s economic direction following French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou’s shock announcement on Monday that he plans to call a vote of confidence on his centrist minority government on September 8. His high-stakes gamble, which most political pundits expect to fail, is of particular concern for Chinese businesses because it could open the door to power for the protectionist far-right National Rally party.
