Yes, China does produce a lot of solar but what percentage of electricity is that?

You are speaking in generalities and not using hard data. That is no way to analyze a problem.
I'm not an expert in this issue or doing any analysis, and neither are you. I shared a link I thought was interesting. I'm sure there is better analysis out there if someone cares to look, but I'm not going to do that right now.
