I have not assumed anything. I read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47311879, which is your comment, with the first rhetorical question.

Your implied claim is that China is not shifting away from coal.

In point of fact, they are.

You repeatedly conflate two different things.

> This is getting tedious now.

Agreed. But you were the one using an obnoxious rhetorical style while being incorrect.

The only conflation is coming from you - the first question was not rhetorical, the second was, hence the link sent with it. If asking questions is obnoxious, I suggest you get out more. I am finished explaining.
