China gets 55% of electricity from coal right now.

Those are the statistics for energy in general, not just electricity generation. Note how petroleum is a major component of the mix.

Coal is about 4.5 on the chart, but you're right it does look like 2/3. I just looked at 8000 at the top of the chart as the top number, my bad.
