China is now the undisputed leader in green technologies, but how its political and economic model has shaped the transition is often unclear. In this new article in @ripejournal.bsky.social with @mathiaslarsen.bsky.social, we provide a structured approach to understanding China's green transition.

Very excited for the kick-off conference of my new Einstein Foundation research project next week. Featuring lots of empirical work on corporate, financial and state planning and a @futurehistories.bsky.social Live Episode. Registration, timetable etc. here: buff.ly/ciCXIxB

Oil shocks, wars both real and trade, AI bubbles, a warming planet. Each one interacting with the others, making them worse. Welcome to the era of climateflation @ryankatzrosene.bsky.social @james7jackson.bsky.social www.break-down.org/the-great-vo...

How did China become a global leader in electric vehicles and green technologies? New research from @james7jackson.bsky.social and @mathiaslarsen.bsky.social explores China’s green transition — and the political and institutional factors behind the growth of its EV sector. @uompols.bsky.social

New policy report out with @james7jackson.bsky.social by @manchester.ac.uk and @gsos-lse.bsky.social: 'Subsidising global decarbonisation: China-UK relations.' We argue that the UK must cooperate with Chinese clean tech companies rather than simply import goods or insist on direct competition.

🇨🇳🇬🇧 new report - building on an article earlier this year, in which we argue China is essentially subsiding global decarbonisation, @mathiaslarsen.bsky.social and I provide some suggestions on how the UK, with its new prime minister, should approach China. -original article is here - lnkd.in/e9fWQV5a

Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026. Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered. Hybrids? Only 66 in total mostly plug ins. More in my new Substack newsletter coming out every 7 days. Sign up here: t.co/In5lBaF2ox

A useful read to understand the behaviour of some of the largest actors in the global politicsl economy today. Enshitification, whilst giving us lisence to use a swear word in work discussions, gives us a useful term to describe the rise of AI, crypto and big tech.

Newspaper famous for lying repeats lies by well known liar, Richard Tice, famous for telling lies about fossil fuels because rich liars pay him to repeat their lies.

What if energy security is slowing climate action? Research by Dr @james7jackson.bsky.social @manchester.ac.uk & Mathias Larsen finds that concerns about relying on China for green tech are reshaping climate policy — and could delay the adoption of renewables. www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/r...

Two more panels today and then we finish on a roundtable with @james7jackson.bsky.social, @cisk.bsky.social and Paul Tobin (@uomsoss.bsky.social) talking about their recent/upcoming climate politics books. Roundtable is at 3.30 in Room 9. 📅 Full programme: www.psa.ac.uk/conference/p...

Oil isn’t getting through the Strait of Hormuz but sunlight and wind are.

🔓️ 🇨🇳 China's support for clean technologies is effectively subsidising a global green transition, argue @james7jackson.bsky.social & @mathiaslarsen.bsky.social. Chinese dominance presents dilemmas for the EU, the US & other countries: compete, cooperate, surrender, or abandon the green transition🌏️
