China is actually the world leader in installed wind power capacity.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Frustrated EU countries are ramping up pressure on Belgium to release €140 billion of frozen Russian reserves held in Brussels by accusing Bart De Wever's government of failing to fully disclose what it does with the tax income from those immobilized assets, - Politico
