They need a ramp up. Which is much easier for renewable.
> The Chinese plants under construction will bring nuclear from 2% of the current grid to 20% by 2030
Renewable is there already.

As of March 2019, China has 46 nuclear reactors in operation with a capacity of 42.8 GW and 11 under construction with a capacity of 10.8 GW.[4][5] Additional reactors are planned for an additional 36 GW. China was planning to have 58 GW of capacity by 2020.[3] However, few plants have commenced construction since 2015, and it is now unlikely that this target will be met.---
Nuclear will be far from providing 20% in 2030. Probably not even 10%:

---By 2030 nuclear capacity will be 120 to 150 GWe, and nuclear will provide 8% to 10% of electricity.---
