Abstract
Much hope has been placed on China's decisions regarding low-carbon stimulus
following COVID-19. Analysis of China's recent Government Work Report suggests that
while a repeat of recovery measures focused on high-emissions infrastructure following
the 2008 global recession is not in the cards, a Chinese Green New Deal is not in sight
either. Much investment is flowing to fossil fuel industries, whilst support policies for
renewable energy industries are absent from Beijing's recovery program. These signs of
environmental ambition taking a back seat are worrisome given that Beijing is currently
designing its 14th Five-Year Plan.
