It's a good question, and an area that I have no expertise in.....however I have an opinion that when boiled down to its simpliest terms says there are probably two or three good reasons for this: 1) the Chinese do not use the same profitability criteria as do American investors, they have other political considerations that will come into play, 2) In the past these kind of projects (wind, solar, etc.) have not shown the price per kwh generated to be competitive with that of a central generated power plant kwh, 3) Therefore they must be subsidised by gov't and have not been to a large extent, 4) These type investments generally require a long term horizon on the part of the investors and there just is not much faith that the subsidy committment will be there long term, 5) And finally, there is so much uncertainty in the investment climate caused by political upheavals that fear is causing even the larger banks to hoard their dollars rather than risk it too far into the future on iffy propositions. The Chinese will keep their people working, they will achieve a huge amount of bragging rights for this coup while they use their large surplus of dollars to invest in our economy which reduces their treasury holdings.......win/win/win...... On a similar subject, if you want to see the long range outlook and strategic nature of Chinese investors, you should go over to Grand Bahama Island (about 80 miles east of Ft Lauderdale) and check out the large, modern and efficient trans-shipment port that coupled with their control of both ends of the Panama Canal Zone and you will begin to wonder if they haven't outgunned us at the very game that American capitalism perfected...... Yeah, I know about opinions...........how are your Chinese language skills coming....lol
