Windmills are typically used to mill grain, such as turning wheat into flour. Last I checked, windmills aren't usually made in China or Germany.
"Wind Turbines" is the accepted term for the units that convert Wind into electricity, and they're not "made in China and Germany mostly":
- Vestas is the presently the world's largest turbine manufacturer and is based in Denmark. It has manufacturing operations the same country.
- Siemens Gamesa (SGRE) is based in Spain and has most of its manufacturing operations there.
- GE Renewable Energy is based in the US, and they have manufacturing operations in Brazil, Mexico and the US.
Other players are smaller outfits and hail from a variety of countries including South Korea, India, Brazil, Japan and as you stated, China and Germany.
