What the source says

The scale of China’s clean energy deployment, technology exports and outward investment makes it a key determinant of momentum behind the low-carbon transition: one-third of the world’s new wind power and solar PV is installed in China in the New Policies Scenario, and China also accounts for more than 40% of global investment in electric vehicles (EVs).

Checked: the figure 33.3% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
