At a July 10 Foreign Ministry briefing, CHINA rejected international media claims that Chinese manufacturing is crowding out Global South industrialization. The ministry said Beijing shares development experience, supports Global South countries through infrastructure investment and technology cooperation, expands market access to boost their exports to China, and supplies affordable green products to help industrial upgrading and improve resource allocation.

China's National Energy Administration issued the Energy Sector Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Action Plan (2026–2028), directing optimization of transmission corridors to better allocate green resources. The plan mandates scientific optimization of national power flows and orderly planning and construction of clean‑energy bases — including desert and marginal land sites — and cross‑provincial/interregional transmission corridors, and promotes integrated hydro‑wind‑solar projects. It calls for tapping transmission corridors' export potential, optimizing operation, exploring advanced transmission technologies, steadily increasing corridors' capacity and proportion for clean‑energy delivery, and studying/piloting 100% renewable export transmission projects.
