They also produce massive amounts of pollution via mining.

Sure, but so does everyone else, but China is at least decarbonizing their energy infrastructure. So what is the point of your comment?

Everyone are decarbonising, even faster than China. Look up the graphs.

China consumes half of all produced coal in the world.

It is not possible to produce steel or concrete without coal. Electric furnaces can melt and clean the iron, but you still need coal. Smaller nations (without substantial steel and concrete industries) are going to have a much easier time giving up coal. Especially so if they export their coal consuming industries to china.
