China owns independent intellectual rights of coal
gasification, cement waste heat recovery, wind power equipment, and PV technol-
ogy and equipment. Backed up by their advanced technologies and competitive
prices, they have entered into EU, US, other developed countries and developing
ones.

Shangde Technology Co. has already become the largest PV component
producer with most of its products sold to EU and US markets.

East China
University of Science and Technology signed a license contract for char gasifica-
tion of oil with Valero, the largest US refining company to build large char
gasification of oil equipment with the technology license fee over 100 million
yuan.

Xi'an Thermal Power Research Institute affiliated under China Huaneng
Group signed the license contract with Future Fuel Company in US on the 150 MW
IGCC coal gasification technology in Pennsylvania.

The energy saving and new
energy technologies and equipment have also applied into developing countries,
especially in Southeastern Asia.

EU has been wary of technology transfer to China, a major developing country
of comparatively strong independent science and technology innovation due to the
fierce competition between the two in the low-carbon technology and industry. It
fears that Chinese enterprises use joint-ventures to violate intellectual property
rights to compete in domestic and international markets.
56
Therefore, it is impossi-
ble for the EU to provide free or a preferential transfer of large margin to China in
