  • The dilemmas Vestas faces in the Chinese market
  • Renewable energy and renewable engineering jobs

 


Produced by the Beijing Energy Network, Environment China is a bilingual podcast that delves into the complex and vital stories shaping China's ecological landscape.

You'll hear specific discussions about conservation efforts, green technology, urban design, and community initiatives, all framed within the unique context of modern China.
