Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:
‘China
has beaten the US
at its own game of globalisation, by playing on their own terms.’
China’s success during globalisation while the US waged wars and let oligarchs hoard wealth:
-800 million people brought out of poverty in 4 decades
-Extreme poverty eliminated in China
-Lifted 98.99 million rural citizens out of poverty since 2013
-Expanded the Belt and Road Initiative to over 150 countries
-Has built a larger high speed rail network than the rest of the world put together, expanding it from 10,000KM to over 50,000KM
-Installed renewable energy capacity in China is roughly 4× larger than that of the United States today
-Made China the world’s largest industrial economy, with manufacturing output now exceeding the US & EU combined
-Presided over the largest housing and urbanisation programme in history, moving hundreds of millions into modern cities with infrastructure, utilities, and services. In 2013 730 million lived in cities, in 2025, 954 million lived in cities. An increase of 224 million.

The renewable energy dominance:
-China controls 80%+ of the global solar manufacturing market across the entire supply chain (wafers, cells, panels)
-It produces approximately 98% of solar wafers, 92% of solar cells, and 85% of solar panels globally
-In 2025 alone, China exported 200+ GW of solar cells, with exports surging over 73% year-on-year
-Solar cells & wafers now make up 40%+ of China’s solar exports
-China drove over 50% of global solar expansion in 2025
-Chinese battery giant CATL alone holds approximately 42% of the global EV battery market
