China adds renewables as they expand their population, where it makes economic sense.
Unfortunately (for most), this is not a change from the existing course: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-45640706 https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-45640706
At least they are getting out of nuclear, so yay? I think it's just backpedaling due to the low standards and high operational risk of many Chinese industries.

This isn't sound financial investing, it's local governments wasting funds to keep up employment, as they so often do in China.
