The headline is about China. But their second figure shows the situation outside of China:

Out of these, only Genereal Electrics is Amercian. Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, Nordex, and Enercon are all EU-based.

Considering the experience they have lost through layoffs (mostly offshore, where they had put some of their best employees), I doubt GE manages to grow much without sacrificing their bottom line.
