US President Donald Trump made his debut speech at the Davos forum calling against globalization. Now, the US energy policies have become quite a concern to many.

CGTN reporter Tian Wei spoke with Fred Krupp, president of Environment Defense Fund during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  Krupp said he is quite concerned about the US not going “clean.” 

“The whole world is demanding clean energy and electronic cars. These are the technologies of the future, and China is moving heavily in that direction. Of course, I worry about the US not moving in that direction. I also worry that the US is missing the market opportunities and leaving them to China.” 

Zhu Ning, professor and associate dean at the National Institute of Financial Research of Tsinghua University expressed his concerns regarding the US backing out of globalization.

“China has taken a more proactive globalization path these days in that China is trying to offer things the recipient countries are more interested in. It’s really like changing of the global order. It’s pitiful to see that the US is backing out of what used to make the US great.”
