It is more than literally every other country is doing, is my retort to that point. That and unlike western governments, they actually accomplish their goals.
Everyone could be doing more, China is doing the most. If the US especially didn’t spend the last century and a half ignoring climate change while most of the world was still pre industrial agricultural societies, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
So clearly they’re not replacing the capacity with renewables. Or they’re actively reducing their total energy capacity. That’s also an explanation for those numbers.
But hey, anything to excuse the West deciding on lng for their power.

That’s just a lie. “Literally every other country” is not building more coal plants.
Plenty are getting rid of them.

And yet they’re not replacing them with green energy. Seems like they’re not doing much at all.
That is the second lie you’ve told.

You’re resorting to lying to make China look benevolent for building coal plants. It’s not a very good look.
Not a lie, neither the US or EU can compare, https://e360.yale.edu/features/china-renewable-energy
