That would still be a win for cities there. But it looks like coal and non-renewables' share of electricity there is now declining too, from roughly 4/5 to 2/3 in the last decade* (a lot of that is due to wind energy, which is rapidly ramping up there.

Yes, the share is dropping, but the overall cake is growing, resulting in coal still expanding.

China is building and planning new coal power plants more than the rest of the world combined. Share it's droppibg but China alone will pollute much more than everyone else combined.
