China touts itself as being the world leader in manufacturing climate-change-related products and the processing of minerals related thereto. While true, this hardly tells the whole story. 

The top 10 suppliers worldwide by market share in 2025 of battery storage systems were all Chinese. China manufactured about 85% of all solar panels globally in 2025, with no other country (exclusive of possibly Vietnam, where solar panel manufacturing data is uncertain) producing more than around 2.8%.
