That's just a lie. "Literally every other country" is not building more coal plants.

Plenty are getting rid of them.

And yet they're not replacing them with green energy. Seems like they're not doing much at all.

That is the second lie you've told.

You're resorting to lying to make China look benevolent for building coal plants. It's not a very good look.

Not a lie, neither the US or EU can compare, https://e360.yale.edu/features/china-renewable-energy

So clearly they're not replacing the capacity with renewables. Or they're actively reducing their total energy capacity. That's also an explanation for those numbers.

But hey, anything to excuse the West deciding on lng for their power.

They are only "clearly" not doing that if you don't actually look at the link. Which you didn't.

Which you did not, because you feel you need to lie in order to make your argument.

Also, this is not excusing anyone. No one is doing enough about climate change. If you have some belief in a cosmic balance where one side of the globe has to be good and the other side of the globe has to be evil, I'm not particularly interested in religious discussions.
