Literally the first sentence of the article:

> To wean their country off imported oil and gas, and in the hope of retiring dirty coal-fired power stations, China’s leaders have poured money into wind and solar energy.

Its silly that an article about nuclear can't just exist. Even though it does discuss renewables, all the comments here are just "wut about solar"

"pouring money into" something is an ambiguous phrase, I'd say tending towards the negative in context, and they do mention renewables later, they talk about their alleged flaws and limitations. And then mislead about the amount of solar production.

There's definately some degree of framing going on here that you'd perhaps not expect from a magazine except in advertorial content.
