Something to ponder about! Any Western country that seeks to reach so called "carbon neutrality" by 2050 is plain stupid! The Communist Party of China must be amazed about such self inflicted, nonsensical economic damage by its ideological opponent!
"China put 38.4 gigawatts (GW) of new coal-fired power capacity into operation in 2020, according to new international research, more than three times the amount built elsewhere around the world and potentially undermining its short-term climate goals. ...
Including decommissions, China's coal-fired fleet capacity rose by a net 29.8 GW in 2020, even as the rest of the world made cuts of 17.2 GW, according to research released on Wednesday by Global Energy Monitor (GEM), a U.S. think tank, and the Helsinki-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).

"... China currently has an estimated 400 GW of excess coal-fired capacity, compared with the amount of capacity needed to ensure stable power supply. The amount of excess capacity nationwide increased by 140 gigawatts from 2015 to 2019, as 160 GW of coal-fired power, 300 GW of non-fossil power ..."
