China doesn't have oil and they want to be energy independent. Because of this they heavily invest in renewables.

It's not like they are doing it to save the planet, but it does save the planet.

China's govt has been trying to make their country as self sustaining as possible, this is part of that initiative. No one can tell you shit if you're don't rely on anyone for external things.

Ya, it makes sense considering China imports 2/3 of their oil. Solar and EVs make a lot of sense when you don't have much in the way of fossil fuels. Not even considering the environmental benefits
