China is on track to reach a fully renewable energy system by 2051, nearly a century earlier than the United States, according to a global study covering 150 countries.

A lot of countries are already quite far along. Norway, DRC, Uruguay, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Kenya, Namibia, Albania and a bunch of others are doing much better then China or the US. If you include nuclear also France and Sweden go pretty far. Also Brazil is at nearly 90%.

How do they compare with China in terms of energy use per capita? China is the world's factory, this level of industrial output requires a lot of energy.

It depends. France is on a similar level to China, but much cleaner, Sweden and Norway are well above China. The other use much less. It is complex for sure. Especially when you consider efficiency as well.
