> China seems to be focussing on renewables rather than falling back on coal.

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

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.

But with renewable electricity costs falling, these plants are going to be too expensive to compete, and will likely be shut down in the not-too-distant future. This isn't sound financial investing, it's local governments wasting funds to keep up employment, as they so often do in China.
