The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

The claim that there are no wind farms in China is demonstrably false. Multiple sources confirm that China not only has wind farms but is a global leader in wind energy. For example, Electrek reports that mainland China is the world's largest offshore wind market, accounting for 65% of new capacity additions in 2025, indicating extensive offshore wind farm development.

Additionally, OilPrice highlights that China boasts the world's largest floating wind turbine, further evidencing advanced wind energy infrastructure. The New York Times article discusses China's leadership in clean energy broadly, which includes wind power. The MSN article references a false claim made by Donald Trump about China having no wind farms, which was widely debunked and ridiculed.

Taken together, these sources clearly show that China has many operational wind farms and is actively expanding its wind energy capacity both onshore and offshore.
