China produces over 80% of the world's solar panels. Shouldn't they be ahead of everyone else?

The rest of the world shouldn't be producing only 20% of the world's solar panels.

The US makes up half of the G7 population. Given Trump, the G7 are always going to fall behind China. Add to that a bunch of the countries having relativly clean grids and you probably not going to see massive deployments.

That population figures surprises me. But Wolfram Alpha says it's roughly correct, ie 44% https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=population+of+USA+vs+population+of+G7+countries
