As It Boosts Renewables, China Still Can't Break Its Coal Addiction
Despite being a renewables superpower, China continues to permit and build new coal-fired power plants at a rapid pace. Analysts say the nation’s new five-year plan will ensure further coal plant expansion and jeopardize China’s ability to deliver on its climate promises.

China adds 315 GW of solar in 2025
China installed a record 315 GW of new solar capacity in 2025, lifting cumulative installed PV capacity to 1.2 TW and pushing non-fossil power sources past thermal generation for the first time.

"The CMC, usually made up of around seven people, has now been whittled down to just two members - Xi and Gen Zhang Shengmin. That only Xi and one CMC general remain is unprecedented, according to Lyle Morris from the Asia Society Policy Institute.”

If China was a democratic country then perhaps you could say the roles of the cold war had somehow reversed, with China being the obvious technological leader in the world, while the USA tries desperately to hold on to its empire, and relevance through naked aggression.
But going to an english-language chinese news site and seeing talk of spacewalks and space stations really drives home how history has kind of flipped.

China’s PV industry expects 238 GW to 287 GW of domestic capacity additions in 2026 as it pivots away from volume-led growth after a loss-making year driven by overcapacity and sharp price declines. The shift follows rapid expansion in 2021-25 that lifted cumulative capacity above 1.2 TW, annual additions beyond 300 GW and exports over $180 billion.
