Last year, China brought 78 gigawatts of new coal power online. It should be 0, no question.

But by comparison they added 315 gigawatts of solar capacity and 119 gigawatts of wind.

This is part of the story of why emssions-to-GDP ratios have fallen, because even as more fossil fuel burning is happening it's taking up less of the economy. This matters, because eventually that will reach a tipping point. They just haven't reached it yet.
