China is building more new coal power output than currently exists in the entire EU combined. There's no indication they plan to stop there and that doesn't count the coal plants their companies are building in the rest of Asia.

Adding renewables or nuclear while you massively increase your world-leading emissions output, won't actually improve anything.

You should have pasted the one of renewable energy in China, they are investing far more than any other country on the planet, as they know first hand the damage it causes from not doing so (pollution, acid rain, etc)

This doesn't look positive:

> However, few plants have commenced construction since 2015, and it is now unlikely that this target will be met.

Probably just a typical short-term hiccup in construction planning. China has much bigger plans for 2030, as the article says.

Also, take a look at the bar-charts on the Wikipedia page.

China just built and started operating their longest coal transporting train 2 months ago:

Meanwhile also claiming "China says it has already hit 2020 carbon reduction goal".

I don't think they can be trusted with anything they say.
