Isn’t it because most of their renewable energy sources are produced by themselves, and is cheap as fuck compared to build a new coal plant. Easier to quickly scale solar and wind, rather than building burning plants?
= no need of any labelled and beaurocratic “green budgets” Anymore. Because renewables already IS the prefered energy source. (because of price per MwH)
The articles only covered the budget cuts, so you refuse to entertain a reason not mentioned in those articles?
From this article: “Xi Jinping’s speech included a commitment to reach 3,600 gigawatts (GW) of installed wind and solar capacity by 2035, six times the country’s 2020 figures. This is already the leading country in terms of installed renewable power, and a giant on the technology front as well, with universities churning out environmental and climate tech research at full speed, and attracting scientists from abroad across numerous fields. He also announced a commitment to an energy mix with more than 30 percent renewables.”
Good China is committing, maybe check this other article for another contextual framing.
The pace of emissions reduction (about 1% per year) is slower than that of most industrialized nations, and some analysts argue that China’s targets are conditional on favorable economic and technological conditions
Meanwhile China is cutting the green budgets and people forget to talk about that because it’s more fun to use climate action as a political weapon.

No they just slashed the budget for it. There were articles a week or two ago.

Now reread the comment you replied to.
China is going to stop funding green projects. This was weeks ago.
FFS, stop repeating your vague claim and share one of those articles you think backs it up…
Dude, they slashed their green budget, dude. Trust me!
Everything positive for the environment has to come from a green budget, dude. It was literally on fox news the other day!
