Rose sharply but a government led war on pollution saw a decline in 20152016 however emissions are rising again and with chinese Economic Growth at its slowest rate in 25 years the government is reducing subsidies for new builds and reviving its support for coal one u. S. Based Energy Monitor estimates that china is planning to build new coal power plants with a capacity of 148. 00 gigawatts thats equal to the entire coal capacity of the e. U. Han Chinese Government pledges on a mission reductions that have become noticeably more watered down in recent times woman you follow me. We will on the one hand you continue to work hard on that addressing climate change. But on the other hand we are faced with multiple challenges for a developing economy we must improve peoples livelihoods reduce poverty was also controlling pollution yani you would hope that we have our pressures and challenges but we will still do our best to fulfill the promises that we have made of the time not even in traditional cold heavy regions such as shan g. In northern China Solar Panel installations became a feature in recent years. But its still cold thats keeping their home fires burning and that doesnt look like changing anytime soon. And for more on this im joined now in studio by correspondent for taiwan William Young william its nice to actually have you in studio for once instead of seeing on the other side of the screen this report i find it fascinating 148 gigawatts of coal of electric producing power in these coal plants we heard how much that is i want to 1st ask though what does slowing growth in china mean for meeting its climate pledges how does that translate so actually the slowing economy means that the government has less leverage to actually fun all of these like Large Scale Energy programs so what they are actually trying to do is to end all these large scale. Energy program subsidies and then switch to actually either no subsidy or being a model so that they can actually have more leverage so i actually focus on the poor region in the country we talk about these coal plants this massive uptick in construction of coal plants one of the reasons behind that what is trying to say so china has made a really clear that its economy is actually putting a lot of pressure on the development that its trying to chase down so in order to offer the amount of electricity that the whole country needs it actually needs to revive some of the coal power plants that are either suspended or even need more so that the whole country will have equal access to the electricity that they actually need now when times were good in china the economy is going better did it make an effort to really build out renewables or maybe provide more electricity through renewables and sort of traditional methods like fossil fuels so its actually debatable because in larger cities where the facilities are able to actually offer electricity through these Renewable Energies theyre actually able to do that but in the report that we see in the poorer regions of the country the facilities at home are still very primitive so the connection between these Renewable Energy plans to households are actually lacking still so thats the challenge where its limiting the ability for them to translate the Renewable Energy investment into the actual electricity. Providing now as we know here in germany as well build out of these renewables bring them into the grid to the regular grid can be a challenge William Young taiwan correspondent here in the studio for us thank you very much for having me. American companies are rapidly losing their appetite for Major Investments in germany and thats at least according to a recent survey of 100 top u. S. Companies currently doing business here only 2 years ago a survey of senior managers by consultancy k p m g suggested that 47 percent of those companies would be making investments of over 10000000. 00 in germany over the next 3 years this year however the same survey suggests that only 24 percent plan on investments of that magnitude of germanys high marks for its Logistics Infrastructure are also dropping 2 years ago as many as 72 percent of the companies rated germanys infrastructure as tops in europe today thats fallen to only 60 percent of managers sharing the view a complicated tax system high labor costs and a scarcity of skilled workers in europes biggest economy are adding to that gloomy outlook that according to the k p m g study. And im joined now by warren marines with us desk of of k p m g which of course commissioned a study warren thank you for joining us you know this economy the u. S. Economy has been so good its been booming as weve seen even as theres been a global slowdown would that not translate to more investment actually here in German Properties you would think so wouldnt you however weve seen clearly that the amount of Foreign Direct Investment in germany is been on the decline since 2014 and that trend is continuing and as you mentioned in our survey the companies that we that we asked they clearly are pulling back their investment and focusing and more on core business as opposed to expanding existing existing business or making acquisitions or how much responsibility falls in the trade conflict that weve seen since last year. You know its really hard to say how much is the responsibility of the trade conflict clearly on both sides there is a. There is a reluctance to make additional investments and wait and see how things are going to pan out im not sure that we have information that they clearly says that thats the reason for it but im sure its a factor. No one hold on i want to play a clip from frank sport of laurie hes president of the American Chamber of commerce in germany we talked with him earlier about this same issue and heres what he had to say. On the signals have been out there for a few years by the way American Companies have been talking about the problems with Digital Infrastructure energy costs bureaucracy and interest in only one of the positives they always mentioned was political stability and now we cant even really talk about that anymore so there certainly is work that needs to be done and theres too much at stake to not take these kind of surveys seriously. Though mr supporter laurie later clarified there that by political situation he means the rise of a right wing party thats been pretty successful here in germany do you believe that other american businesses are looking at that situation and seeing a little bit more instability and that there are any concerns over that you know i agree with everything that frank said im not im not really sure that political instability is a key reason why u. S. Companies are looking or investing less i think theres a number of geo political issues that are that are that are contributing to that bore so then that and as frank mentioned the issue of if a structured decline and a backlog and if a structural projects that germany has been grappling with over the last few years is is of course a key factor as well all right were marine with german Financial Services firm thank you very much for joining us. Youre welcome. The recent elections in hong kong showed widespread public support for the prodemocracy cause thats advocates winning almost 90 percent of the seats now specific industries are beginning to back the instructions.
