I just picked the top one to show how far they are from being in the lead, which is what you claimed. If you actually look at the link I posted, you will see that almost every Western nation is ahead of China, even laggards like the US.
That would be like me picking a tiny village in China to make a point. What I claimed is that China is far ahead of the west, and you jumped in with a straw man. I've already provided you lots of sources showing that China is ahead of the west by every conceivable measure when it comes to renewables, feel free to go read them.
I did read them but none of your links show that at all. I have to wonder if you read them. Some of them are quite informative as to just how bad their current policies are. I will work on a longer rebuttal to your long post later but I need to get back to work.
If you actually read them then you know what you're saying here is a lie. The links show that less than half of power production in China comes from fossils today, that china dominates in production and deployment of renewables as well as nuclear, and that China is doing massive reforestation. If you're claiming these policies are bad, then what does that say about the rest of the world.
