I will just post this here from a previous time this was brought up: While China is building a LOT of renewable energy and it should be applauded for it, it is not the only thing that are building. China accounted for 95% of the world’s new coal power construction activity in 2023, according to the latest annual report from https://globalenergymonitor.org/

While that is true, I believe that those are all replacement power plants. As in there was already an old much dirtier coal power plant in operation that needed replacement. If that is also the case, emissions may have finally peaked and we can begin the long hard road of cleanup and total phaseout.
