China’s so-called photovoltaic potential fell by an average of up to 15% between 1960 and 2015 as a result of pollution, climate researchers from Switzerland, the Netherlands and China said in a report published by the Nature Energy journal. China has been working to curb choking levels of pollution by cutting coal use, improving fuel standards and encouraging cleaner forms of industry and energy. Hazardous airborne particles known as PM2.5 fell by 42% in 74 major cities from 2013 to 2018.

China is keen to boost the profitability of solar firms in order to reduce the subsidies paid to renewable energy providers, with the rapid rise in new capacity creating a payment backlog expected to reach 60 billion yuan by next year.

China s Xi can go hell along with along with putin

Mmmm no that's not correct. Chairman Mao had China instigate a 'war on nature'. China has no war against pollution.

They are financing and constructing massive coal-fired plants in Africa and elsewhere (outside of China) so their 'war' on pollution is limited and could be viewed reasonably as cynical.
