US President Donald Trump said China does not use wind power despite producing most of the world's wind turbines, prompting an official rebuttal from China and online pushback from Chinese netizens.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan 21, Trump claimed that although China produces "almost all" of the world's wind turbines, he had not "been able to find any wind farms in China".
Chinese netizens responded by sharing firsthand photographs of wind farms from across the country, turning comment sections into a visual showcase of China's wind power infrastructure.
Users posted images of wind turbines in mountainous regions and offshore installations, highlighting the country's large-scale deployment of renewable energy.
Trump has repeatedly criticised wind power as costly and inefficient, with offshore wind developers facing disruptions under his administration.
