OMG googling for China green energy news is nearly impossible...
Anyway I read something recently that said that if China's green advancements were ignored, the world would have gone backward in percentage of green energy production.
China is a big country, so anything it does make a huge difference. The fact of the matter is that when they build more green energy than many european nations entire energy output, we know for sure that whatever they do sets the stage for the world. Taking them out of the equation and seeing how bad the rest of the world is doing highlights how China is dragging the rest of the world kicking and screaming into the energy future.
On a related note, when trying to find this article you can't help but run into "ChInA hAs gREen eNERgy buT AlSo hAs cOaL sO iT doEsnT CoUnt" nonesense.
I have a few links saved specifically to address these sorts of arguments. Basically, China has a concrete plan to move off fossils, it's being implemented way ahead of schedule, and emissions in China have now entered structural decline
