So is this article wrong[0]?

Landfills currently handle roughly half of China's MSW, while only about 10% is incinerated. Official credo suggests that landfills will continue to play a dominant role. But Beijing's push to increase the share of burned waste is unmistakable: a central target calls for 30% of MSW to be treated by waste-to-energy incineration by 2030.

And late last year they opened the worlds biggest incinerator outside Beijing[1].

In the article[0], it says only 2% was burned in 1990.. so it seems this is a new initiative.
