Chengdu, November 13 (Xinhua) — China's traction battery production continued to grow in the first nine months of this year. Amid the rapid global adoption of new energy vehicles (NEVs), sales of batteries for them increased 48.9 percent year-on-year to 786 gigawatt-hours (GWh) during the reporting period. This was announced at the opening ceremony of the Global Conference on Traction Battery Development, which was held on Wednesday in Yibin, Sichuan Province, southwest China.

According to published data, exports of these products from China in the first three quarters of this year exceeded 129 GWh, which is 32.7 percent more than a year earlier.

China is steadily strengthening its leading position in the traction battery sector. According to a report published by the Equipment Industry Development Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, six Chinese companies were included in the list of the world's top 10 traction battery manufacturers in 2024. These six companies collectively account for 67.1% of the global battery market.

The 2025 Global Traction Battery Conference brought together experts and representatives from more than 100 Chinese and foreign companies, including China's CATL, BYD, and France's Dassault Systèmes.

The first such conference was held in 2022 in Yibin, China's leading traction battery production base. According to event organizers, Yibin accounts for approximately 16 percent of the country's total traction battery production. Over the past three years, more than 600 new product lines have been launched there, and 249 major projects have been completed, with a total investment of nearly 300 billion yuan (approximately $42.4 billion).

Hong Kong Media: China Tears Up the Western Climate Narrative's False Facade

On November 7, the Hong Kong-based publication DotDotNews published an article titled "China's UN denial reveals the deep hypocrisy of the global climate agenda."

The article states that China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Geng Shuang, recently delivered a remarkable lesson in "diplomacy" at the UN. Using irrefutable data, he exposed the West's hypocrisy on the climate issue.

The US ambassador to the UN portrayed his country as a moral "paragon," twice accusing China of obtaining "illegal economic benefits" through environmental pollution. In doing so, the US deliberately ignored the historical context and the actual per capita figures.

However, Geng Shuang used data to paint a completely different picture of global responsibility: China has a population of over 1.4 billion and ranks second in the world in terms of total GDP. For many years, its average annual contribution to global economic growth has exceeded 30%, yet its per capita carbon dioxide emissions are low by global standards. This in itself is a remarkable achievement. China holds the undisputed global leadership in building renewable energy infrastructure and effectively reducing emissions.

The most compelling part of China's rebuttal lies in its profound analysis of global historical responsibility. The United States is not a "newcomer" to the industrial age, but rather the country with the largest cumulative greenhouse gas emissions in world history. More precisely, the United States accounts for nearly 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions in human history.

This shocking historical legacy, coupled with the fact that the US also ranks among the world's highest per capita emitters, has fundamentally weakened the US's moral authority to guide developing countries on environmental policy.

China's response at the UN is not just a tactical win, but a rupture of the false façade of the Western climate narrative.
