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.

The others are a rounding error in comparison to renewable energy. Yes, they've added a considerable amount of coal electricity generation capacity but not very much coal electricity generation production. It's production that emits CO2, not capacity. Coal plants that sit around not burning coal are relatively harmless.
