The Chinese goals are great for sustainable energy. Third parties have confirmed the consistent performance and production of the infrastructure for the past decade, this dominance has been expected for a long time and has ramped up in the last 5 years because of their continued massive investment in solar and battery technology.
So yeah, despite everything wrong with China, they are already and are going to continue to be the world's leading sustainable technology power because they're investing more in it.
I attribute China's massive investment as a huge reason why Biden was able to finally convince US politicians to invest in clean power.
If Biden didn't get even a trillion invested, which will not at all help the US catch up to China, we won't even see them receding in the distance in another decade in terms of sustainable energy.
There are tons of articles that show how China got here, and why people are paying attention today, but have a great pamphlet from an independent study looking specifically at their solar farms that I'm trying to find.
Here's context in the meantime:

I’m thrilled someone cares about solar. Perhaps they’ll share some of their excess with their global comrades.
They'll sell the excess to literally anyone.
No, China is “communist.” They have to share.
Accumulative, resouce-hoarding, executive-owned communists.
Shhh, you’ll attract an ML or a hexbear who will scream at you from their armchair.
Ha thanks, it's cool, I frequently feel like I'm doing the good work by taking the brunt of their histrionics so others don't have to, kooks don't bother me none
