China has invested heavily in all forms of energy including coal and oil, not just green energy.
It's pretty biased to highlight only the increases in renewable energy.

I much prefer democracy (the lack of large scale human rights abuses is a big plus) but one can't argue that with the fact that a multi-generational one-party system CAN encourage a refreshing degree of long-term thinking. This is a good example. (Of course, examples abound of the opposite--also in China)
