Fact is, they're building more coal plants in the country because they can more quickly meet energy demands with coal and as of last September the world was building coal plants faster than they were being closed (and I suspect China is).
- Retric 8y ago"Shanghai Electric Group, one of the country's largest electrical equipment makers, has announced plans to build coal power plants in Egypt, Pakistan and Iran with a total capacity of 6,285 megawatts — almost 10 times the 660 megawatts of coal power it has planned in China." So yea china is still building some coal but not that much looking at actual production presents a different story.
