China's economic rise has transformed the global economy in a number of manufacturing industries. This paper investigates whether China's transformative influence extends to the new green economy. Drawing on the debate about how China is driving major economic changes in the world – the "Asian drivers" debate – it identifies five corridors of influence and investigates their relevance for the wind ener- gy industries. Starting with the demand side, it suggests that the size and rapid growth of the Chinese market have a major influence on competi- tive parameters in the global wind power industry. While Western firms have found ways of participating in the growth of the Chinese market, the government's procurement regimes benefit Chinese firms. The latter have invested heavily and learned fast, accumulating production capabili- ties that have led to changes in the global pecking order of lead firms. While the combined impact of Chinese market and production power is already visible, other influences are beginning to be felt – arising from China's coordination, innov ation and financing power. ; China's economic rise has transformed the global economy in a number of manufacturing industries.

Some emphasis on differences between advanced and newly industrialized countries.

The research revealed no technological unemployment at the aggregate level, but labour per unit of output decreased in automated production lines. The share of skilled workers increased, mainly due to an absolute increase of maintenance jobs. In contrast the share of production workers and their skill requirements decreased
