From http://www.avui.cat/noticia/article/1-territori/11-mediambient/411689-la-xina-encapcala-el-ranquing-mundial-de-lenergia-eolica.html (in Catalan)

According to a recent report released by the World Wind Energy Association, in 2010 China surpassed United States as the world's leading country on the production of wind energy with a cumulative installed capacity of 44,733 MW of the former in front of the 40,180 MW of the latter. The third position is for Germany, with 27,215 MW, followed by Spain and India. The list includes other 83 countries (one more than in 2009, Cyprus), but nearly 75% of the overall production happens in the first five countries in the list. Catalonia has recently increased the cumulative installed capacity over 1,000 MW produced in 38 wind farms.

This report was presented at the International Wind Energy Exhibition and Conference CWEE2011 held in Shanghai (China) and it can be downloaded in different languages:

20% of global energy to be used by China in 2035

From http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2ea6681e-ec27-11df-9e11-00144feab49a.html?ftcamp=rss#axzz160FxwGX8 (in English)

According to the annual report of the International Energy Agency, its World Energy Outlook , forecasts announce a huge growth of energy consumption in China in the next two decades, estimated at 75% between 2008-2035. China’s energy demands are expected to achieve 20% of the global demand and 36% of the projected growth. The most important increase in demand will be due to the transportation sector, with car sales expected to increase about tenfold by 2035. To cope with this, global oil demand will have to increase 18%, from 84 million barrels a day to 99 million barrel a day. According to the executive director of the International Energy Agency, Mr. Nobuo Tanaka, global energy security and climate change due to fossil-fuel use will largely depend on how China responds to the challenge of coping with its booming energy demand.

China becomes the largest energy consumer in the world

From http://www.lavanguardia.es/economia/noticias/20101012/54022556476/china-supera-a-ee.uu.-como-primer-consumidor-energetico-mundial-aie-producto-interior-bruto-british-.html (in Spanish)

According to Mr. Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, China has surpassed United States as the leading country in the world with the highest energy consumption. Half of the world's increase in oil consumption is due to China's economic growth. New oil reserves found in Irak can be essential to cope with the world's oil increasing demand.
