Since that article in July they've cancelled 60 coal plants, including many that had already started construction. The capacity they've cancelled is equal to the total coal capacity of the UK and Spain combined.

They've still got a long way to go, but the signs that they are turning the ship are clear.

China can simultaneously leverage coal for its own infrastructure while building technologies that could obsolete coal economically.
