Toward this end, the Biden administration and the US Congress have increased support for the domestic clean energy industry through industrial policies and leveraged allied resources to achieve their agenda for this industry. A major target of the policies adopted by the Biden administration is competition with China. The approaches include politicizing the clean energy industry, linking investment access policies related to the clean energy industry with so-called national security considerations, and upgrading trade barriers against China. The competition orientation and policy measures of the US government in the field of clean energy industry will pose challenges to the international development of the clean energy industry in China. However, the US competition with China in the clean energy industry will be restricted due to domestic partisan politics and other factors. Thus, the potential exists for cooperation between China and the United States in the clean energy industry, which could create favorable conditions for the two countries to build a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship.展开更多
