Don't be duped by China's clean energy talk. Their energy infra is mainly coal and they continue to build (dirty) coal plants.

They sell you solar infra so that you can feel good about protecting the world while they continue to build coal plants. For reference, in 2023 they built 95% of the world's new coal plants...

Don't be fooled.

They also connected more solar to their grid than the rest of the world combined. China is massively increasing their power generation capacity and yes most of it is still coal. They are also building 20+ nuclear reactors. The scale of what China is doing is mind boggling.

You're right, but it's not quite so black and white. They are certainly continuing to build out coal capacity, but they are building solar/hydro/nuclear/wind generation at a greater rate, such that the proportion of generation from coal has been falling, from over 70% ten years ago, to about 55% currently.
