Since the passing of a seminal 2005 law, Chinese wind power has been rushing ahead in leaps and bounds, prodded along by lavish government support. However, that’s not to say that the future of Chinese wind is by any means secure. Andrea Valentino hears from Shashi Barla, director and head of research at Brinckmann, and Ilaria Mazzocco, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, about how far the country’s wind sector has come over the past two decades, how it’s been bolstered by subsidies and infrastructure, and how it could develop in an age of economic protectionism.
