China’s breathtaking development in the last few decades has made it one of the top greenhouse gas emissions country. “Between 2011 and 2013, more cement was consumed in China than what was used across the entire US over the course of the 20th century. Given that cement production releases 1.25 tons of CO2 per ton of cement created, it comes as little surprise that cement alone accounted for 7.8 percent of China’s carbon dioxide emissions in 2018.”

Gas emissions is very important in the society in other not to cause environmental harzard

In order to boost alternative energy usage, Beijing pledged to install “340 gigawatts (GW) of hydropower capacity, 210 GW of wind and 110 GW of solar by 2020.” Nuclear energy is also part of China’s plan to reduce greenhouse emissions. The 13th Five-Year Plan stipulates a 16.5 percent annual increase in nuclear power capacity between 2015 and 2020. In 2018, China accounted for 45 percent of the global growth in renewable power generation, more than the entire OECD combined. As China continues to increase the share of renewable energy, it is expected to surpass the 15 percent target set in the Copenhagen accord

Where it makes economic sense, China is massively moving into renewables. They have desert areas that are a natural for huge solar fields. They also were subsidizing electric vehicles, but they are phasing that out now and the sales are dropping. There emissions are still going up because they continue to build coal plants, plus all the cars, etc
