I mean, the coal thing is concerning. We really shouldn't, as a species, be building any coal plants.

While this is true, it's worth noting that around 30% of China's power generation is renewables as of 2021 (which I don't think includes nuclear), a number that has been steadily trending up (eg 26% in 2019), and that it is responsible for 45% of global investments in renewables. Compare that to the US which only produces 21% of its electricity from renewables as of 2021, and is the richest country on earth.

That's great and I hope they shut down their coal plants as fast as possible
