 China's industrial push risks destabilizing the global economy and watering down green-energy exports, Janet Yellen warns
==========

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warns that China's industrial push could destabilize the global economy and dilute green-energy exports. Yellen expresses concern about China's oversupply of cheap green energy products, which distorts global prices and hurts American firms and workers. China's clean energy industry contributed to 40% of the country's economic growth last year, but this has led to a substantial oversupply of solar panels, causing prices to plunge. Yellen plans to raise the issue of overcapacity during her next trip to China.
