China's 2024 government workplan provides strong support for green industries and clean energy, but shows little urgency on meeting 2025 climate targets.

Emissions in China grew around 565 Mt in 2023, by far the largest increase globally and a continuation of China’s emissions-intensive economic growth in the post-pandemic period. However, China continued to dominate global clean energy additions.

Wang Yi's speech in Munich was a wonderful example of China appearing to live in a parallel universe. This passage in particular :

'Opinions on promoting comprehensive green transformation of economic&social development' was approved at the 4th meeting of central comprehensively deepening reforms commission today

(Reuters) - China is expected to increase curbs on renewable power plant output for the first time in eight years, three industry sources said, after several provinces said rapid solar and wind expansion had exhausted grid capacity.

China's investment in the energy transition in 2023 was higher than the US and EU combined, according to BloombergNEF

NEW: China’s unprecedented clean energy investment boom was the main driver of the country's economic growth in 2023. Without clean energy sectors, the country’s GDP would have grown by only 3% instead of 5.2%, missing the government’s target by a wide margin.
