China is in first place with 32% of global renewable electricity production. They have built more solar capacity than the rest of the world has ever had installed in one year. No other countries are anywhere close to the green acceleration they have purposefully spearheaded for themselves and the world.

Your source also compares the renewalable percentage of overall electricity production, where China lands at roughly spot 100, placing it near Poland.

placing it near Poland

and well above the US, France and Japan

per capita consumption mix is probably a more useful comparison

I'd really like to see a graph with per GDP energy consumption mix as well. Most of the countries with better mix than China have a fraction of the GDP.
