> no one talks about it

People regularly talk about how much new coal capacity China has been building.

Quite often this is followed by "capacity, sure; they're not using all that capacity, those plants exist and are mostly not running", or some variation thereof. I've never bothered fact-checking the responses, but this conversation happens is most of the Chinese renewables discussions I've seen in the last few years.

Coal generation production in China did decline in 2025 vs 2024 - but that was the first year for it to happen.

Nuclear on the other hand is outpacing any renewable in China. With many plants being built or plans to be built between now and 2050.

You are wrong by a factor of at least 10x

Got any sources for this?

Nuclear capacity additions in 2025 were about 1% of solar additions - there is no comparison.

Nuclear capacity: +2GW in 2025 (https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profil...)

Solar capacity: ¬300GW capacity

Looks like math and construction isn’t your strength.

I don't understand this? A couple of people responded with clear charts showing nuclear way behind on solar/renewables with solar/renewables growing faster too.

It looks like you've been misled but are having trouble admitting that to yourself?

He's a troll. Don't respond.

Please show your numbers; if you just make a claim and then insult people who disagree, you automatically lost internet arguments.

That's utterly wrong. Renewable installs in China are vastly outpacing nuclear installs.
