If only we did what they're doing to cut emissions. They put up more solar every quarter than the rest of the world does every year.

They have also brought a lot of new coal power plants online in the past few decades. I'm not sure if they still are, or have shut any of that down.
Building new coal plants is bad, but it could be worse in that they seem to be running those plants less often and using them as peakers rather than baseload: https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/china-coal-plants
Theyve lifted a billion people out of poverty in the last 80 years. You need energy to do that
