This was my understanding of China. They do use a lot of coal, but it is because they are having to ramp up energy usage with coal-fire plants to keep the factories going. They do have long term plans to phase out coal, but when energy needed to keep up production or add new production (perhaps offshoring of jobs and factories to China), they have the build the coal-fire plants. Last I looked, they had about 30 nuclear reactors planned/in-construction/still at the drawing board.
