Yes, China is getting pretty aggressive with their renewable plan. The see it as the future and want to lock down the business while other parts of the world are delaying.
It is also interesting to read their coal power plant plan in which they are deducing coal emissions (both local and CO20 by building new coal power plants. It sounds counter intuitive but by replacing coal stoves in individual homes, small coal plants in individual factories, and older small coal power plants with fewer large modern plants they end up with lower emissions overall.
