And thats small potatoes compared to their wind and solar efforts, something like 339 GW in 2023 and going way up every year.
China’s commitment to nuclear power increased significantly with the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025), released in March 2021, which called for a buildout of some 150 new nuclear reactors over the ensuing 15 years to reach a production goal of 200 GW of nuclear energy by 2035 (enough to power more than a dozen cities the size of Beijing).
By 2050, China wants nuclear to provide at least 15 percent of its electricity generation (which China envisions as its third overall source of energy by that year, behind wind and solar).
China is right now just reaching the goal it set for 2020 capacity in 2016 and things appear to be slowing down.

> In December 2007, construction of the unit itself began. This was expected to last 54 months, with commissioning planned for 2012
However it is still under construction. Olkiluoto was also a major disaster for France, though it was eventually completed.
South Korea is probably the best example for nuclear construction success, but they have had to jail a few people for forging inspection results.
All in all, I think China has done fairly well with nuclear. Nuclear is a massive project that is insanely complex. It is not helped by trivializing the complexity, nor is it helped when people focus more on public opposition than the construction challenges, IMHO.
