    If this actually is about climate - China installed 50% of all new renewable capacity last year. 50% of the entire world.

      It also burns more coal than the rest of the planet combined.

        They use a disproportionately large share of coal compared to other non renewables.

        They use less energy per capita than the United States (about 1/3). And they both use close to the same amount proportionally of non renewable to renewables. (88% China, 81% US)

        So effectively the hand wringing about their current power consumption while they are making strides toward renewables is not productive.
