> Solar is cheaper than coal in China.*

Bullshit. Not at the scale they need. Solar might be "cheaper" in very confined, specific contexts. But China needs on-demand capacity for a billion people. Renewables + batteries cannot accomplish this.

Plus, solar is cheap partially because you don't need to source that much of it. Try to source that much solar and see what happens to the price.
