According to wikipedia, China added 71.6 GW of wind power in 2020 and now has a total of 281GW. Note that 71 GW is more than the electrical power usage in Germany as a whole. And they just added that in one year.
Of course, China is a very big country with an industry that is growing at a rapid rate. So they have to add even more coal to keep up with demand.
But it is wrong to think that they are not doing anything.
As for carbon capture. People have been talking about that for a long time. Today it seems that the most effective way of carbon capture is to plant some trees.
Personally, I think it is great that banning sale of ICE vehicles are already on the table.
