Besides examining the environmental crisis occurring in China before Xi’s presidency and the measures he adopted to tackle the disastrous consequences of pollution nationwide, this paper will analyze the high diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) in China. After comparing the Chinese EV market with Western nations, I intend to shed light on the “green revolution” occurring in the Asian demographic giant since 2012.
