China has been leading the world not just in development, but also the deployment of renewable and clean energy technology on a large scale, which is important in helping China reach its commitments and also for enabling the rest of the world to decarbonize rapidly, said RMI CEO Jon Creyts.

In an exclusive interview with China Daily website, Creyts also said China is changing to become the very first electrostate, the first state that's building its entire economy around clean energy, renewable energy, and electricity.
