This is why China will stay ahead of the EU.

Cause China clearly is into nuclear but not into renewables ? Just so we are clear : the first chinese design of a smr was approved by the IAEA in 2016 - a reactor based on it might go online this year 10 Years later which might provide 300MW

How much renewables did China build during that time ? A casual 2.34 TW

How much total nuclear did China add in that timeframe ? About 25GW ... Obviously China is clearly focusing on nuclear and not renewables ... Edit: 30 GW of nuclear i misread a chart

This is why China invests heavily in renewable energy sources.
