In response to the recent labeling of China’s new energy industry by the United States and Western countries as “overcapacity,” Ding Weishun, deputy director of the Political Research Office of the Ministry of Commerce, said on the large-scale all-media interview program of the “China Economic Roundtable” launched by Xinhua Agency on the 20th that the view that more exports means “overcapacity” is completely untenable.
Equating China’s exports of new energy products with “overcapacity” is contrary to common sense and common sense, and is also seriously inconsistent with objective facts.
Ding Wei elaborated on 
from two perspectives.
From the perspective of international trade exchanges, the emergence and development of international trade are the comparative advantages of countries in forming different industries based on factor endowments, technology accumulation, development paths, etc.
, and carry out international division of labor and cooperation and exchange of needed goods, thereby effectively improving global economic efficiency and well-being.
From the perspective of market economy principles, in the realistic context of economic globalization, supply and demand issues must be viewed from a global perspective, not just one country.
Today’s world economy has long become an inseparable whole.
Production and consumption are global and need to match and adjust supply and demand from a global perspective.
Ding Weishun cited a set of data: developed countries such as the United States, Europe and Japan have long exported a large number of products to the world.
About 80% of the chips produced in the United States are used for export.
Nearly 80% and about 50% of the cars produced in Germany and Japan are used for export respectively.
A large number of passenger aircraft produced by Boeing and Airbus are also used for export.
As far as China is concerned, China’s new energy vehicle exports will only account for about 12.
7% of total production in 2023.
Green and low-carbon are the general trend.
Global demand for new energy products continues to expand, and the development space of the new energy industry is still very broad.
Advanced production capacity will not be excessive, but will be relatively insufficient.
According to research from the International Energy Agency, in order to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, global sales of new energy vehicles need to reach approximately 45 million units in 2030, more than three times that of 2023.
global demand for power batteries will reach 3500GWh in 2030, which is 2023.
Global shipments are more than four times more than current global supply capacity.
“Relevant countries and regions cannot hold high the banner of green development while waving the big stick of protectionism.
” He Yadong, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, previously responded to this issue by saying that this is a typical contradiction and double standards.
It is a kind of “double standardism” that will not only hinder the global green transformation, shake confidence in climate change cooperation, but also It will dampen the determination of enterprises to carry out foreign trade and investment cooperation.
