China is doing that because they are profitable, not because they care about the environment. Why would they care the coal use?

> China burns significantly more coal than the USA and Europe combined
Which is expected when both Europe and the US outsourced most manufacturing to China. It's actually surprising China is so low given they're literally the factory of the world
China's coal use is shrinking recently, and their solar investment is in the hundreds of GW annually.
Don't look at where the ball is, look at where the ball is going.
