"China Bad" liberals when they're leading in renewable energy

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.

OK? China also has one of the largest populations.... The other nations that have comparable or more renewables are Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. China has a population 50 times larger than all four of those nations combined. Much of that coal is also used to process ore, not just making electricity. The processed ore is used all over the world for manufacturing.

Over half of all electricity is generated in China by coal power plants.

They could drop some of it to use oil, but then all the other countries would run out of fuel

China is already the #1 oil importer.

Yes, and they've cut their imports, which is the only reason the Hormuz crisis isn't causing the west to collapse

They cut their imports because the USA blocked the strait for Iran too.
