 Believe it or not China is not ignoring it. It’s actually common knowledge it’s doing more with renewable energy than most people realise.

 Interestingly they aren't reducing the amount of energy they use per person though. And they are increasing fossil fuel usage even with the renewables when you look at the data.

The UK however is reducing energy per person, still with high reliance on fossil fuel. No wonder our energy bills are sky high here.

 Yep doesn’t surprise me. China is a rapidly growing and modernising country and energy demand is increasing per person. UK has lost the plot on so many levels I’m not even going to go down that road 😂
