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.
Bigger country does things bigger, more at 11.
“The United States occupies a total area of about 3.8 million square miles while China has an area of approximately 3.7million square miles. However, China has a bigger land area than the United States. The Chinese land area is about 2.2% bigger than the United States (3.5 million square miles).“

Building giant empty cities in the middle of nowhere doesn't help the housing crisis in China.
Building giant solar and wind farms in the middle of nowhere does help with the pollution crisis.
Glad that they finally found something that uses dumping money in the middle of nowhere that can actually improve peoples lives instead of just prop up an economic bubble.
