Solar manufacturing is not destroying China's environment, fossil fuels are. By a massive margin.

They need to get off that merry go round as quickly as possible. While the efforts they've made are incredible it needs to continue to accelerate.

I wouldn't say they've achieved these prices through subsidies in the way many people think. government support pushed their entire renewable industry ecosystem, western manufacturing went belly up, and now they are reaping the benefits.
