Aren't they the number 1 in solar and new solar?

Sometimes I look at them and think, well at least they decided to do something about it.

    If it wasn't for them, oil companies would have managed to stall EVs and keep them as luxury vehicles.

    China isn't perfect but I can't see them as the problem when they spit out solar panels while the orange moron is literally paying billions to stop renewable projects.

    Yes, China is using a lot of energy in general, and not just for its export-focused economy. The Chinese middle class is huge. They are top consumers of energy in both coal and renewables.
