China pledged CNY 2 billion (USD 280 million) in grants to member states this year, with an additional CNY 10 billion (USD 1.4 billion) in loans over the next three years. Beijing also committed to jointly adding \u201ctens of gigawatts\u201d of solar and wind power capacity with SCO members over the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond financing, China also plans expand technical training. Xi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mfa.gov.cn\/zyxw\/202509\/t20250901_11699331.shtml\">announced<\/a> that 10 new \u201cLuban workshops\u201d will be set up in SCO countries within five years to provide training opportunities in renewable energy, rail and automotive technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day after the summit, the SCO energy and green-industry platforms were formally launched. Li Sheng, head of the China Renewable Energy Engineering Institute, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stdaily.com\/web\/gdxw\/2025-09\/03\/content_394362.html\">told<\/a> Science and Technology Daily that solar and wind account for around 70% of China\u2019s renewable cooperation with SCO states, and that meeting the gigawatt-scale targets by 2030 was \u201chighly feasible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2001 by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, the SCO has since expanded to 10 member states and 26 partner countries across Asia, Africa and Europe. This year\u2019s summit, the <a href=\"https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s\/qdXOvUAEChYUAmQXex_SrQ\">largest<\/a> in the bloc\u2019s history, also underscored Beijing\u2019s bid to deepen alliances through investment and technology cooperation, at a time of escalating tariff tensions with the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read Dialogue Earth\u2019s recent <\/em><a
