China is the #1 builder in all renewable (and nuclear too) by a significant margin

You are going to need to also propose a solution beyond "stay poor" for the country.

China is also building 2 Coal Power plants a week, and China is building six times more new coal plants than other countries https://www.npr.org/2023/03/02/1160441919/china-is-building-...

Good intentions do not fix anything. China is still a problem.

Building the most renewable energy is not a "good intention"... they're literally doing it. I'm not saying coal emissions are not a problem.

How is China a problem? The way of life and the energy intensity of a single individual living in the developed world is the problem. Do I have to point out the US and Europe? (I live in the UK).
