> China is currently at 3,230 GW of generating capacity. Its current nuclear capacity is about 1.76% of that.

  Production of nuclear electricity is, to be fair, almost 5% of total.

    China is on pace to double its installed solar capacity approximately every 3 years. So should be around 3100+GW by 2030. It might even accelerate as the recent bess system auction pushed LCOE of solar+battery below coal. Where as they are adding 7-8 nuclear reactors or 7-8 gw capacity a year which is just a blip for their electricity consumption growth so the numbers will likely go down for nuclear. China seems to be doing most of its economic development like the west but at an extremely fast pace. It will be really interesting how fast they get off coal for electricity production and off oil for transport.
