China went from 28% in 2020 to 37% renewables in 2025. If electricity consumption would have been stable, they would be at 50% renewables today. If they would have just added renewables and not cut fossil fuels they would be at 41%.
To be on the list, you need to add 19% in new renewables in 5years. So they could have done it, but only if they actually shut down some coal or other fossil fuels. It really shows how much some countries add, but get neglected, because China is such a massive country.
