China is the world's biggest carbon emitter as well as the leading producer of green energy. What lies behind this fascinating contradiction?

In recent years, China has built more renewable energy infrastructure than the rest of the world combined and is leading the global shift towards electrification. The Green Superpower: How China Shapes Our Future outlines China's role as a green leader in the upcoming Fourth Industrial Revolution and illustrates how European companies can become more competitive by learning from their Chinese counterparts.

Experienced journalist and regional expert Christina Boutrup explores how China is leading the move away from fossil fuels, from how affordable Chinese solar panels are revolutionising the global energy landscape to the electrification of the world's largest car market and the revolutionary implications of autonomous AI technologies. Cautiously optimistic, the author covers key geopolitical trends affecting green economic progress across the world, and ultimately serves a wake-up call: to compete with China's success, Western business leaders need to learn from their Chinese counterparts and treat the green transition as a business case.

The balance of global power is poised to shift. No longer copycat manufacturers of inferior products, Chinese firms are at the forefront of the world's potential first "electrostate". Now more than ever it is vital to acknowledge the central role that China plays in the transition to green energy and to learn from their strategies. The Green Superpower is essential reading for policymakers, business leaders, and practitioners who operate at the intersection of environmental policy, security, sustainability and innovation.
