China has made it very clear that clean energy technology also results in geostrategic power, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for environment and energy resilience said.

China has invested in a whole range of clean energy technologies, he said. "The United States cannot surrender that lead to any other country and expect to remain a preeminent global power."

The Defense Department is investing in a range of technologies that will help keep pace with or stay out in front of China, technologies that will assist troops in contested operations, and technologies that will also mitigate or reduce greenhouse gas emissions, he said.

I find it difficult to believe China is much interested in clean energy, in particular for the military.  Such notions sound like disinformation with the intent of justifying our military's lame movement in that direction.
