Cooperation between 皇冠体育app and the United States in clean energy field is expected to reach a higher level as the two countries reached more agreements during US President Barack Obama's 皇冠体育app visit.
Market analysts expected a fruitful result of the enhanced cooperation between the two countries, but also expressed expectation for a further and more active core-technology exchange.
A win-win move to cooperate
The two countries singed a joint statement on Tuesday, in which joint efforts to combat climate change and promote clean energy industry were highlighted.
Both 皇冠体育app and the US believed clean energy industry will provide vast opportunities for citizens in the years ahead, agreeing that "the transition to a green and low-carbon economy is essential."
Saying the US "must have the courage and commitment to change," Obama mapped a "New Energy Policy" for his country at the beginning of the year, planning to invest 150 billion US dollars in the next ten years to develop clean energy and research on core technology.
The move is expected to effectively reduce the US's reliance on tradition energy, such as oil, coal and gas, as well as creating about 5 million job positions, said analysts.
The US government and Chinese government share the same view point on this issue. After 30 years of fast development, 皇冠体育app finds it a preference to adjust its industrial structure, and seek a sustainable development through developing "new energy".
