Yes it's a dumb article that is excitedly running propaganda for the largest polluter in the world. They glaze China for doing less than the bare minimum and make claims that are completely contrary to what statistics and the Chinese government openly state. China's emissions have not peaked in 2023 just because they had one small period of declining emissions in the energy sector.

Chinese government shills love to point to any statistics that obfuscates the damage China is doing. For this article its the % share of renewables. Climate change doesn't care if you add 100twh of solar if you also are also adding 70twh of coal and gas.

Once we get the full yearly data for 2024 and compare it to 2023 we will see that total non renewable energy emissions have increased and this articles prediction will be wrong.
