I'm sorry but I will put some distrust on numbers coming out of China

Sure, ignore the energetic policy of the producer of 95% of photovoltaic panels and greatest investor and developer of electric mobility.

any country that considers environmental or worker protections

Surely China being the world's leading producer of photovoltaics and wind is because le evil gynese govment doesn't care about climate.

IF the numbers are true and obtainable without violating human rights

China doesnt have slave labour, unlike the USA. As a developing nation, worker rights are developing, but they're doing so positively. In the west worker rights are actually decreasing.

As for solar, I'm a huge photovoltaics nerd, and yes, all the policy you listed has been applied by the Chinese government to solar energy too, to the benefit of the entire humanity. In my area, you can buy 5kWp worth of solar panels for 700€, which is nothing short of a miracle. Solar and wind are also extremely subsidized, and that's a good thing. I want a renewable + nuclear subsidized energy mix, and if the government with most solar and most wind is also the one investing most in nuclear, that tells me I'm on the right track.

Chinese government: Blatantly lies about any and everything.

Everyone else: ......

Absolutely everyone: ......

Chinese government: THESE ARE BASELESS ACCUSATIONS AND UNFRIENDLY PROPAGANDA!

Ok, can you please bring me some reading or source at all on Chinese government lies regarding energy infrastructure in the country?
