CPIA executive secretary-general Liu Yiyang said at the 2026 PV Industry Technology meeting that the sector remains in a deep adjustment phase but exports are holding up and technological innovation is the core resilience through the cycle. He said manufacturers must use technology upgrades to lower costs, improve quality and maintain quality baselines, while the application side should shift from build-heavy models to operations-focused approaches to unlock scenario value. CPIA will continue to host technical exchange platforms, push against destructive internal competition and promote full-industry-chain coordination to move China’s PV industry from scale to value leadership. Deputy secretary-general Jiang Hua said the supply side will rely on standards to drive an orderly exit of inefficient capacity, while demand-side growth will be pursued through compute-power coordination and space-based photovoltaics.

Arab Movement leader Ahmad Tibi said voters—long ignored and targeted—could be the election’s wildcard and called the current situation dangerous and unprecedented.
