Is China an environmental savior? Our Faculty Co-Director Alex Wang @greenlawchina.bsky.social has a new book out explaining the origins and contradictions of "Chinese Global Environmentalism." law.ucla.edu/news/china-e...
A wonky but important development: Batteries are now eligible, along with coal plants, to receive payments to stabilize China's grid. That could put coal under more competitive pressure in the future:

Book news from our @greenlawchina.bsky.social! His new and very timely "Chinese Global Environmentalism" comes out this month.
Many thanks!
Thx!
Much appreciated!
UCLA law professor Alex Wang has been studying one of the critical ways China has been making inroads around the world. The US has been ceding this ground.
Excited to announce the publication of my new book – Chinese Global Environmentalism – later this month!
The environment was once one of China's greatest weaknesses. It is now becoming a pillar of China’s global power.

More to come on the book, but if you are in Irvine tomorrow, join me in conversation with my old friend John Delury. Should be fun!
Thanks to UC Irvine & Jeff Wasserstrom for hosting the first talk for my new book "Chinese Global Environmentalism," which will be available in print from Cambridge U Press in February 2026! www.humanities.uci.edu/events/chine...
Did not realize how much I needed this today. Thank you.
The US is pulling out of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The only country in the world to do so. This is an abdication of our global responsibility as the largest historical GHG emitter to deal with the harm we have caused and are causing. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/c...
A wonderful chance to honor and reminisce about our mentor and friend Prof. Jerome Cohen. A life well lived and a major impact on so many!
A nice profile of my work in UCLA's Blueprint Magazine this month!
And the Trump administration just canceled the Nevada solar project... www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/b...
It's official:
-2025 is now a more threatening year for the survival of the republic than 1968.
-John Roberts will now go down in history as a worse chief justice than Roger "Dred Scott" Taney.

@mit.edu has done an incredibly important service to the nation by being willing to be the first school to reject the administration's "compact."
President Kornbluth focuses—and she's right—on the principle that "scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."
More bad news from the "energy emergency" president. Trump administration cancels major solar project in Nevada. heatmap.news/sparks/esmer...
"This dominance would enable China to position itself as a leader in global climate talks; build stronger ties with Global South countries in need of cheaper, cleaner energy; and reduce choking pollution within China was only further reason to go all in on clean tech." @greenlawchina.bsky.social
Solar and wind are killing it. So is China. Two energy reports out this week and an LA Times op-ed by my @law.ucla.edu
colleague @greenlawchina.bsky.social paint a clear picture of the future that may await us. 🧵

Two energy reports out this week paint a clear picture of the future that may await us. Solar and wind are winning. So is China. @evanlgeorge.bsky.social @greenlawchina.bsky.social

I have an op-ed in the LA Times today criticizing Trump's war on renewable energy. The US is shooting itself in the foot and ceding the next generation of key technologies to other countries like China. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
