You’re not seriously suggesting that china is any better. They are part of the system. They just recognized that selling solar pannels and stuff to othercountries is very profitable.
China is in first place with 32% of global renewable electricity production. They have built more solar capacity than the rest of the world has ever had installed in one year. No other countries are anywhere close to the green acceleration they have purposefully spearheaded for themselves and the world.
I’d really like to see a graph with per GDP energy consumption mix as well. Most of the countries with better mix than China have a fraction of the GDP.
The PRC is “part of the system” in that they do trade with the rest of the world, yes, but they’re a socialist country, and as such actually has the ability to focus serious development that works against the standard profit motive.

They installed a shitload of it too though. They’re not just selling it.
Not good, but still better. sadly

Your source also compares the renewalable percentage of overall electricity production, where China lands at roughly spot 100, placing it near Poland.
and well above the US, France and Japan
per capita consumption mix is probably a more useful comparison

It’s always business, irrelevant if you sell petrol or solar cells. But last is way better for the environment, while fossil fuel destroy it.
does China also host military US bases in their country? If not, they’re not part of the system.

If it was very profitable, countries and companies would be falling over each other to do it.
“China bad”
