That is definitely a different thing though - it's well known China was playing games to artificially manipulate their GDP and currency. The coal plants are actually being used because they have demand for the produced power.

So, as the renewables come online, more expensive generation will go offline. That stuff will all be mothballed because continuing to operate it costs a lot more than shutting it down. China has the advantage that they do not need to continue operating expensive equipment just because it was expensive.
