First of all you seem to be confusing their designs with the more common LWR design which is commonly used in Europe/US. Instead most of their new fleet is planned based on HTG pebble bed designs. These have much different cooling requirements and are actually being built at smaller size and being deployed into remote desert areas like Xinjiang. This design was selected specifically because it's low water and cooling requirements - also it's proliferation resistance as Xinjiang has historical instability and proximity to Afghanistan. The rest will likely be based on the Hualong One design which is an EPR reactor that has 5x the output of the HTG SMR designs but does require more extensive cooling and isn't proliferation resistant so will likely only be built in stable area with ample cooling. Nuclear reactors are just one area I highlighted they are dominating in. Are you saying the reason they are doing so well in solar, wind, batteries and coal is all just down to ignoring environmental concerns? How then can you address their improvements in air quality in Shanghai and Beijing? See https://www.statista.com/statistics/690823/china-annual-pm25-particle-levels-beijing/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/690823/china-annual-pm25... and https://www.statista.com/statistics/1283503/china-annual-pm25-particle-levels-shanghai/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1283503/china-annual-pm2.... Air quality is even good in industralia hubs like Shenzhen these days but I couldn't find the same long term statistics. You can see the current air quality here though: https://www.iqair.com/th-en/china/guangdong/shenzhen https://www.iqair.com/th-en/china/guangdong/shenzhen. Right it's somewhat worse because of all the burning happening in SEA. I know it's fashionable to pretend the Chinese are cheating or something but the data simply doesn't support that assertion. I spent quite a lot of time in China over the last 10 years and everything has changed drastically. There was a time where I used to think "Hey China is basically caught up to the West". That time has long since past, on my recent visits it feels like going to the future instead and the slow realisation they completely passed us by has set in.
