China doesn't want to rely on gas because they have to import it. They're fine relying on coal, which they can produce reliably, which is why they keep building coal-fired plants.

So does Germany. They are facing a recession due to over reliance of Russian gas not playing out well.

> So does Germany

Germany has the same reliance but Europe broadly hasn't done anything about it, substituting piped gas from Russia with shipped gas from America. (Which, unfortunately, is their only option absent re-firing coal or turning on nukes.)

Nuclear is the best option for Germany, which they use a lot, buy buying electricity from France.
