China is still a developing country, there are more people in China that do not have access to electricity or then entire population of many of those 40 or so countries between it and the US on that list.
China has an energy problem if it wants to continue to grow it needs to increase its energy production by a steep factor.
It has a growing working and middle class that wants refrigerators and air conditioners.
It still has half a million households had are not connected to electricity and many many more that are not connected to other utilities such as sewage.
China is investing in every energy solution it can because it's in a desperate need of more juice.
