So yes , they are building new coal fired power stations . Much larger more efficient stations with 30% less emissions according to this article .Further to that , they are leading the world in investment in renewables , spending some $56 billion dollars last year . So they are not only building coal fired power , they are building plenty of the other types as well .

So obviously they are committed to cleaner energy in whatever form that may take .

What do you expect them to do ? Halt their nation developing progress until such time as renewables are 100% baseload ?

China is working on 363 new coal fired power plants. They are going for broke. This will increase their coal fired generation by some 75%. Coal is booming. Another 100 years to come.
