China lacks the massive oil and gas reserves the US has. The only fossil fuel they have a lot of is coal and they do use that.
Movement towards green energy is a positive, despite countries with human rights issues and desire to conquer their neighbors. China can get personal congrats when they stop their abusive behavior.
Oldish news from 22,23. Trend has strengthened.
What this mainly proves is that renewables is cheaper than coal. Even with solar imports from china, and possible local/closer supply of concrete.
Plenty or legit reasons to criticize the CCP, but they are kicking solar butt.
