To put this in perspective. China added 47.4GW of coal in 2023. They also added 301GW of renewable (solar, wind, hydro), with 216GW being solar.
But "the west" is the problem and China just gets a total free pass. Please, someone, explain why that is?

They shouldn't, but the only straight faced argument is that they're still a developing nation. One thing to consider when assessing this data is that China has 2X our emissions with 4X the population. There's a lot that goes into that since we're a fully developed country compared to them, but the per capita emissions for the US is quite a bit higher.
