At the first Members' Channel session of the fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) on March 4, 2026, Zeng Yuqiang, Chairman of CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited), explained the factors behind the rise of China's new energy sector. He highlighted the nation's consistent renewable energy development strategy maintained from the 11th Five-Year Plan through the 14th Five-Year Plan period. As an industry leader, CATL drives industrial advancement by building a full lifecycle industrial chain, continuously increasing R&D investment in artificial intelligence, and focusing on the development of new materials and new systems. He also revealed that China's exports of the 'new three' (typically referring to new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products) had reached nearly 1.3 trillion yuan (approximately $188.1 billion USD) in 2025. This achievement demonstrates China's policy consistency in the renewable energy field, its industrial layout, and its significant export accomplishments.
