After first visiting Shanxi 30 years ago, Peter Wilson CMG, the British Ambassador to China, returned with one striking observation: the air is better.

He sees Shanxi's ambitious shift from coal to new-energy sources as a transformation improving local lives while offering valuable lessons for the world. Importantly, he views UK-China cooperation not as a one-way transfer of experience, but as an opportunity to learn from both successes and failures.

From coal transition to green technologies, Shanxi offers a revealing window into China's energy transformation.
